2.0 out of 5 stars Ports Guide, January 6, 2008

By	Helen T (Fairfield, OH United States) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book with the intent of seeing the islands on our own versus participating in the cruise ships shore excursions.This book is very well written with a lot of useful information. That being said, of the five ports of call of our cruise only one was featured in the book. These ports are well known and frequently visited by cruise ships so I can only wonder why Fodor's decided not to list them. I advise anyone thinking about purchasing this book to pay close attention to the index.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile purchase, January 20, 2008

By	J. Dunigan (Christiansted, VI Virgin Islands (U.S.)) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book just prior to a western Caribbean cruise and found it to be a worthwhile purchase. The do's and don'ts for each port proved accurate and saved me a lot of precious time. Whether you are a veteran cruiser or taking your first voyage, I recommend this guide.
