Insight Guides usually are good for preparation for a trip but not so good for the nitty gritty of the trip. In the case of Caribbean Cruises however, this book worked well to choose which things to target in our one day per island off the boat.

Am about to embark on my first Caribbean cruise and am enjoying the information and suggestions. Pictures are colorful and enticing. Just purchased a book on Caribbean plantlife as a companion to it!
