Synopsis: Listen to a free companion podcast on Frommers.com A cruise is a complete vacation, so its important that you choose the one thats right for you. Frommers Cruises & Ports of Call is the most user-friendly, opinionated, and comprehensive guide you can buy before you set sail. We provide in-depth coverage on cruises departing from U.S. ports to the Caribbean, Alaska, Bermuda, Mexico and Canada. Unlike rating systems used in other guides, our system is simple. We break down the essential elements of a cruise experience (dining, activities, childrens activities, entertainment, service, overall enjoyment, and overall value), and rate them from poor to outstanding. Photos of each ship combine with the text to give a better sense of the very real differences among the various lines. Most important, this is the only cruise guide that provides the real prices people pay for cruises, not just the rack rates. Other guides tell you that a seven-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbeans Adventure of the Seas costs ,919. You can pay that if you want to, but only Frommers tells you that the same cruise is selling for 99. We give both the rack rates and the discount price for every cruise we review. This feature alone makes Frommers Cruises and Ports of Call by far the most valuable trip-planning book among cruise guides. Our authors, noted cruise experts whove personally checked out every ship sailing in and around North America, offer candid and unbiased opinions on them all. They are completely up to date, with all the latest developments and the newest ships. Youll also get complete coverage of the major port destinations, with advice on how to spend your limited time ashore.
