Summary: read first-book later
Review: After booking my cruise, I ordered and read this book and realized that the ship I chose was not really the type of cruise I was looking for. I hope the cruise is better than by current expectations. This rates the ships, food, services and destinations. It also helps you match your life styles with the ship's ammentities. It covers the the ports but could offer a little more information on side trips and lunch stops.

Summary: A must-have book if you are considering a cruise to Alaska.
Review: Informative handbook for choosing an Alaska Cruise. Having cruised on 2 ships, we now know how we want to see Alaska, and it's not on a large ship! Many other options are available that most travel agents do not disclose. "The Small Ships" section is invaluable! We will postpone our trip until we can research their listings and find the one that is really for us instead of "joining the crowd".
