A cruise is a complete
vacation, so it's important that you
choose the one that's right for you. Frommer's
Cruises & Ports of Call is a
user-friendly, opinionated, and comprehensive
guide to read before you make any reservations. The
book provides in-depth coverage on cruises
departing from U.S. ports to the Caribbean,
Alaska, Bermuda, Mexico and Canada.
The rating system is simple. The guides
breaks down the essential elements of
a cruise experience (dining, activities,
children's activities, entertainment,
service, overall enjoyment, and overall
value) and rates them from "poor" to "outstanding." Photos
of each ship combine with the text to
give a better sense of the differences
among the various lines.
Most important, this guide provides
the real prices people pay for cruises,
not just the rack rates. Some guides
tell you that a seven-night cruise aboard
Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the
Seas costs $2,099. You can pay that
if you want to, but this book tells
you that the same cruise is selling
for $649. Both rack rates and the discount
prices are provide for every cruise
reviewed.
The authors, noted cruise experts
have personally checked out every ship
sailing in and around North America
and offer candid and unbiased opinions
on them all. The reviews are up-to-date,
with all the latest developments and
the newest ships. You'll also get complete
coverage of the major port destinations,
with advice on how to spend your limited
time ashore.
