Cruise Vacations For Dummies ® 2005 (Dummies Travel) ReviewGrowing up watching "The Love Boat," I was never interested in actually taking a cruise. But real-life cruises can be very different from that program -- and are not only for shuffle-board playing seniors or honeymooners or (as in every episode of "The Love Boat") comically bickering spouses. In fact, a cruise vacation can be a fun, easy way to travel. As the author notes, you can see lots of places, but only have to unpack once.
"Cruise Vacations for Dummies" provides great detail about everything you'd want to know about cruises (*but were afraid to ask), and provides so many useful tips that it's hard to summarize everything, but it includes information on how to make your cruise more romantic, how to plan a family-friendly cruise, even how to gamble, plus how to choose the best shore excursions -- whether you're planning a cruise in the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, or a more remote destination -- and how much and whom to tip.
Unlike other cruise books, "Cruise Vacations for Dummies" serves as a kind of Consumer Reports on cruising with its objective reviews of the major cruise lines, their fleet, itineraries, food, entertainment, atmosphere, and cabin choices. In fact, whether you're considering a top-of-the-line experience, like on a Seabourn or Windstar, a popular-priced cruise, like on a Carnival, or a cruise to Alaska (Holland America) or to an alternative destination, like Antarctica, the reviews are great for first-timers and for experienced cruisers, alike.Cruise Vacations For Dummies ® 2005 (Dummies Travel) OverviewWhether you're a veteran cruiser or have never set foot on an ocean-going vessel, this is the book for you. Up-to-date and comprehensive, it will guide you through everything from choosing a cruise to clearing Customs on your return. Cruise Vacations For Dummies 2005 includes information on:
Getting the best deal (few people pay full boat; consider the brochure price like a "sticker" price)
Choosing the best cruise for your interests, schedule, and budget
Ways to make your cruise more romantic
Planning a family-friendly cruise
What to expect onboard—from cabin size to spas, sports, entertainment, and gambling
Popular cruise destinations, including the Carribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, and more
The major cruise lines and their vessels
