The ship is only half of the cruise experience--the other half is the time you spend ashore. Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call offers the most complete guide to all the ports, with a critical, insider's look at all the organized shore excursions offered by the cruise lines themselves, Since it usually makes more sense to explore on your own, we'll take you to all the best beaches, golf, water sports, shopping, dining, and casinos--the attractions and activities that can easily fit into your limited time, starting from the cruise docks. You may only have a few hours, but we'll make sure you know exactly how to hit the highlights on your own. You'll also get a complete rundown of all the major ports of embarkation and maps of each destination.
Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call

Frommer's is the king, but the this is a retread.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
While Frommer's is the king of travel advce and I have sworn by thier advice and knowledge while traveling, this particular eddition is no better than 2005 or 2006. It is a re-tread. So if you have a version from 2006 or 2005, stay with it. There is really no new information worth spending the money on. While I do not realy fault Frommer's for using old information, since not much changes in the caribbean, it should be more clearly noted that there is not much new in thier book.

This review is from: Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
Great book to throw in your backpack and take with you on the cruise. You can bone up on a bit of the history and it will get some ideas ffor excursions or places to visit on the islands.

Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call,
By Alamo Jim (San Antonio, TX, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
A useful book for planning visits to Caribbean islands. I am using this with the descriptions of my cruise ship's shore excursions: Do I want the shorex, or do I do the sightseeing on my own? The book also gives opinions on what is worthwhile to see and what isn't...which you don't get from the cruise line (everything is worth seeing). The recommendations on what to buy or not buy at each stop are also worthwhile.
The acid test for this book will come when I take the cruise: were the recommendations good or not?
