The Cruise Journal gives you plenty of space to chronicle everything you'd want to remember and more. There are places to note the ship particulars, crew names with remarks, new friends with space for even e-mails, meals, entertainment, ports of call, excursions, gifts, photos and of course pages and pages for other jottings of events. At the back of the book is opportunity to plan future crusies with calendars from 1998-2001. There is a handy check list of supplies, conversion charts including clothing from other countries and maps. This is a very complete journal for that very special trip.

I wanted to give this book as a gift to my grandparents who like to take cruises; however, I will not be giving this to anyone, as it would be embarassing to do so.

When I pulled the book out of the wrapper and opened it, I realized that it had been bound upside down--the embossed front cover was actually upside down on the BACK of the book. I suppose you could keep the book jacket on to hide the error, but that's tacky.

Also, I don't know why they're still selling this book with calendars from 1998-2001 in it. I assumed that they would update the book with new calendar pages each year. You can't very well use this book to plan future cruises with past calendars.

I'm very disappointed that this journal didn't meet my expectations. I thought it was a great idea and could've been something that my grandparents enjoyed using, but instead it will be going in the trash. At least it was only 10 bucks.

Amazon, I recommend that if this publisher isn't going to make an updated edition of this book with current calendars and learn to bind the cover in the correct orientation, then you should stop carrying their product.

Consumers, don't buy this journal. A regular journal could easily converted into a much better cruise journal than this one is.
