Summary: Concise and informative
Review: I bought several books before my Alaska cruise, and this was by far my favorite. It presents all the necessary information about the different cruise lines, ships, routes, and ports of call in an organized fashion without wasting space on glossy photos and rambling chatter. It was very easy to open the book right to the information I wanted. I don't mean to imply that the book is dry, however; the authors do express opinions and the whole thing is a pleasant read. There are nice sections with information about cruising and about the history of the area. This guide does not go into great detail about the larger cities, like Vancouver, but it gives a good overview while still being small and light enough to easily carry on your trip.

Summary: Frommer's Alaska Cruises & Ports of Call 2002
Review: The book was shipped to me in very good condition and was here in 7 days. I find it very informative and am anxious to see Alaska. We have cruised before and Royal Caribbean is our cruise line of choice. I was interested in the book more for the suggestions for excursions, what the weather would be and what to pack. I would definitely order through amazon again.
