Great tips and hints, especially for first-timers!,

This review is from: The Essential Little Cruise Book, 4th: Expert Advice for Planning and Enjoying a Perfect Vacation at Sea (Paperback)
This was the only book we purchased, having borrowed several others from the library. We used SO many of these ideas to help us make good choices, and to help us plan. While there are some tips that may make you say, "Duh!," the majority of them are things that are so helpful, such as where to book your cabin on the ship, tips for packing, dining, even really simple and easy tips such as packing lanyards and poking holes in the on-board keycards so our kids wouldn't lose theirs (genious...kids would lose them from their pockets, and they are tied to your credit card!,) and asking the steward to empty our refrigerator of the mini-bar contents so we could fill it up with our own pre-purchased water and soda.
This is really worth the money, considering all the money you will spend on your cruise!

Essential Little Cruise Book,
By Moomby (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Little Cruise Book, 4th: Expert Advice for Planning and Enjoying a Perfect Vacation at Sea (Paperback)
The book is very informative for novice cruisers. However, I would recommend anyone "thinking" about a cruise purchase this first, instead of waiting until you have booked the cruise.

This review is from: The Essential Little Cruise Book, 4th: Expert Advice for Planning and Enjoying a Perfect Vacation at Sea (Paperback)
An interesting book from the perspective of cruise ship staff. Certainly not great literature, but a fun read with some useful information about how crew feels, how they are treated (both by the cruise line and by passengers and other staff) and what they have to do to make your trip enjoyable.... Some cogent insights into the "American persona" from workers from other countries.
