"The extent of detail given . . . is good not only for the novice cruiser finding their way around . . . but also for the veteran cruiser who wants to know the latest about the newest ships" (CyberCruises.com).
"This is the book with which to gain a full and thorough understanding of the wonderful world of cruising. Repeat cruisers and novices alike will gain from the volume of features—menus, daily schedules, photos, as well as details on every cruise ship and port of call throughout the world. This should be the encyclopedia for any cruise aficionado" (World of Cruising).
"People who've never cruised before—or those who have, but find themselves faced with a confusing onslaught of new ships—need to know a great deal, and this book goes a long way in providing it" (Chicago Tribune).
