2.0 out of 5 stars
What a disappointment,
This review is from: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Cruise Guide to Europe and the Mediterranean (Paperback)
In the past, I've had great success with Eyewitness Travel Guides--but after taking the Cruise Guide to Europe and the Meditarranean with me on vacation, I was very disappointed. Heavy, shallow and lacking any useful port information, I found I left it in my room most of the time. I'd have preferred a guide that told me some useful logistics about each port (like how to get to any of the sites mentioned), and suggested itineraries for each location. I would not recommend this book at all.

Good General Guide,

This review is from: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Cruise Guide to Europe and the Mediterranean (Paperback)
This guide,as will all DK guides, provides good, basic information on the most popular sites in each area. I suspect that the material is reused from other DK gudies.
What this product lacks is good, detailed information about information that would be relevant to cruisers. For example, there are sections that deal with cruise selection, packing, etc.; but there is no information about the port facilities, distance from the port to the main part of town, local public transportation options, etc. Apparently, it is assumed that passengers will book shore excursions from the cruise line and not go off on their own. This limits the guide's usefulness for those who would like to simply ramble through a town and get a little closer to the local culture. This is possible in many European ports, but not all. (Passengers will need some help getting from the port of Civitavecchia to Rome, but what about Naples?)

2.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty boring,
By Antonio de Raffaele "Chef Antonio" (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Cruise Guide to Europe and the Mediterranean (Paperback)
Its a pretty boring book, its exactly like the 2001 version...its 1 page longer than the 2001 version. So save your money and buy the older version or check it out at the library. I was expecting it to be more detailed, its just so basic and elementary. I was disappointed to say the least.
