Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call

Rating:
Summary: excellent information except NO pictures
Review: Unlike Frommer's Caribbean Cruises and Ports of Call 2003 which is 736 pages, this is only 320 pages - the right size to travel with. You don't need info on each cruise line while you're on the cruise.

It's great because it tells you exactly how far the town is from the pier and whether it's worth spending $3 on a taxi. Tells you which islands it's best to take an organized tour. Also lists name/phone/web of trips/activities offered by local agencies. Tells you which beaches are overcrowded and frequently by pickpocketers.

Includes walking tour of San Juan, PR with map. If you're spending more time in Miami, buy a separate book. Restaurants are also mentioned as well as hotels in ports of embarkation.
