1.0 out of 5 stars Cruise vacation with kids, 2nd edition, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cruise Vacations with Kids, Revised 2nd Edition (Paperback)

This book is too general. Current and up to date information is available on the internet. Each cruise ship only mention briefly of what the children program is about. Half the book is devoted to the Europe tour. I doubt too many US family travel with young children on a cruise ship. Not worth to buy this book.
