Complete Idiots Guide to Cruise Vacations When
it comes right down to it, cruises are fun, and cruising guidebooks
should be, too. That's why we don't rank ships based on some arcane
numerical system (what does a 63 score on afternoon tea mean, anyway?)
but spell out everything in human terms to help you find the cruise
vacation of your dreams. We give you tips on matching your interests to
the best ship and itinerary, tips on getting the best deal, and tips on
which lines offer the best food, entertainment, and children's
programs—and more. We also tell you all about the shipboard experience,
from casino game rules to tipping etiquette, and let you in on the best
experiences at all the ports in the Caribbean and Alaska. We even give
recipes so you can make your favorite cruise drinks when you get home!
It's all here: facts, figures, photos, and fun. What a deal!
