Always Enjoy & Profit From This Ever-Improving Series
We are experienced cruisers. (About 12 times: Alaska, Scandinavia, Russia, Mediterranean, Panama, US Rivers, etc.) Douglass Ward's work always both entertains and helps. Both broad philosophies and specific details for both new and veteran travelers prove on, or very-close to, target.

Shipping and price were both excellent.

The Best Cruise Guide. Period.
Berlitz Guide to Cruising is without a doubt the best cruise guide on the market. It is far more detailed than others that I have bought and gives a thorough write up of every ship. I find it dissapointing that, while the ratings of a ship may change from year to year, the summary remains the same, giving no indication of the reasons for the change. But still, it can't be beat in terms of useful information and layout.

I hate this year's cover though.

Know your cruise ships
Having noticed a decent offer for a cruise on a ship we knew nothing about, we decided to buy the Berlitz guide to cruising 2009. This proved to ease our minds considerably as it had a satisfactory write-up, so we booked. The guide gave us all the info we wanted, regarding size of cabins, restaurants and usual facilities, not exactly 5 star but near enough. We sail in September - fingers crossed!!
