matt082600 Posted September 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hello all....I was hoping for some suggestions about good cruise reading material. When I am not cruising, I love to read about it! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted September 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2004 You might want to pick up a couple of cruise magazines. There are several out there. I subscribe to Cruise Travel. Just go to any bookstore or wherever magazines are sold, and you'll be able to pick and choose whichever looks the most interesting to you. (There are always several loose subscription cards, and you could take one and order what you like.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted September 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I think the Frommer's Caribbean Cruises and Ports of Call is a great resource for cruise planning. It has information on all of the cruiselines, their different ships, and the Caribbean ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karenh1127 Posted September 10, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I got a copy of "Stern's Guide to the Cruise Vacation" off of Ebay and it didnt have squat in it! It talked about every cruise ship out there but it said very little about it. It also was not honest opinions because everything was positive. AND when I got it in the mail it was an old copy...like 1998 or something. That was of course the fault of the seller. I would not recommend it at all. I wonder if there is an "unofficial" guide to cruising like there is for Disney World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted September 10, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2004 The Unnoficial (my spelling is horrible today, sorry) Guide to Cruises is good.. I also read books on Freighters.. I want to do that someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all who gave their suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
