I buy this book every year when planning for our cruise! Not only does it give the best info on all of the ships, it provides the latest recommendations for the excursions. I'd rather buy the book and find out that the excursion we think it going to be great doesn't even find it's way into the book as a recommendation than loose $200 or more on an excursion that is a waste of money...

There is much good advice found in this book. Information about cruises is voluminous on the internet, but varies widely depending on the informant's tastes. As a novice cruiser I wanted a handbook with concise information and phone numbers, addresses, and web sites all in one place. This is a good source for that information.

I buy this every year when it comes out as I love to read about all the new cruise ships and gain insight into the personalities of the different lines/ships. I donate the last book to my library so they can put it in the travel section.

We've been on two cruises and the guide answered every question we had, and answered many that we would not have thought to ask. The book definitely made our trips much more enjoyable than they would have otherwise been.

What was included was excellent. I just wish there had been more information. Manzanillo was not in the book. I would have also liked more recommendations at each destination.
