Customer Review: Mediterranean By Cruise Ship
This book is a great help in preparing for a cruise. It contains a wealth of information on cruising, but an unexpected & very interesting section is the “History of the Mediterranean.
Customer Review: Great overall guide, but specifics are lacking.
I am planning my first trip/cruise to Europe and I was hoping for a more in depth look at the museums, restaurants, sights, etc. More than anything it was a history lesson… But, overall it had good information and it a nice “catch all” guide.

Customer Review: Simply packed with essential ‘know before you go’ detail.
Lending libraries catering to travelers in general and the elderly who appreciate cruises in particular won’t want to miss Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships 2008, a survey packed with independent reviews of cruise companies based on personal experience, not advertising or hearsay. Chapters do more than offer reviews of nearly three hundred cruise ships: they discuss what to look for in a ship and crew, how to compare the major lines for pros and cons, and where to find the best among different types of cruises. Simply packed with essential ‘know before you go’ detail.

Customer Review: Most complete cruise guide on the market
I have been consulting the Berlitz cruise guide for many years, and find it a very valuable source of information. Even if I have cruised for more than 20 times, each new edition brings some revised and/or revelant information. Any serious cruise enthusiast should have the Berlitz book for consultation. Highly recommended.

Alaska by Cruise Ship: The Complete Guide to Cruising Alaska with Giant Pull-out Map (5th Edition) This international bestseller is the complete guide for anyone taking a cruise or cruisetour to Alaska. From Seattle and Vancouver to Fairbanks and beyond, Alaska By Cruise Ship provides readers with solid detail for this popular cruise destination. Interesting and historical background on the cruise routes complements practical detail on ports and shore excursions with numerous maps pinpointing attractions. All areas of interest on an Alaska cruise are included such as history, wildlife (with whale watching map), native culture, natural phenomena and much more. New edition includes best hiking trails in each port and updates on all shore excursions. Includes giant pull-out color map.
Customer Review: Don’t leave home without it
We checked out a few Alaska guidebooks before planning our September/07 Alaska cruise and found most lacked the cruising information we needed to help us pick a cruise. We found Ms. Vipond’s writing entertaining and thoughtful and her specific information on the types of Alaska cruises that are available (round trip or straight line) very helpful. She also goes into the region’s history, native peoples, wildlife, port attractions with lots of detail on shore excursions which helped us sort out our choices.

On the cruise, the guide’s detailed port maps and the large Alaska pullout map at the back of the book were indispensable. And unlike many other guides, this one has hundreds of color photos which are useful to identify wildlife, spot attractions and gave us an idea of what we would see on various shore excursions. We never left the ship without it.
Customer Review: If you are clueless, start with this book
If you have absolutely no idea what you want to see, or where you want to go, then this book could help you. However, if you shop on Amazon.com, you can get the same information this book provides at any of the cruise websites.

The information in this book is basic and cursory, and it provides no real helpful tips. I was looking for hints on what shore excursions to pick, where to eat in port, etc. I didn’t find anything remotely helpful. I haven’t read the other cruise guides, but certainly would NOT recommend this one unless you are starting to plan a trip and know absolutely nothing and don’t like to read online.

Customer Review: good learning tool
I find this to be a pretty good learning tool and of course it can also be used for review. Simple flash cards…they do a good job of testing your memory.

Since they are flash cards they don’t explain everything but there is a lot of good, if brief, information on some of the cards where necessary.

One nice feature is that the cards are divided into three sections, beginning, intermediate and advanced and then color coded. That makes it easy to progress at a reasonable rate.
