Summary: Concise and chock full of useful info
Review: Am I missing something? I bought this book b/c people rated it very highly. As far as I can tell, he spends 100 (very large print) pages telling you to get a good cruise agent. Here, you go, I am summing up this (small) book: Get a good agent and make him/her work! Save your $$ on this one, there are may other good, thorough books out there on the lines, the ships and how to choose/book.

Summary: Great cruise advice book!
Review: Cruise Advice 101 by "The Cruise Doctor" is an informative and well written book. It gave me information that I was not aware of and wish I had known prior to my first cruise. It will tell you what you need to know to book the right cruise for you, what to take with you, how to deal with "sticky" issues such as tipping or getting a dining change, what to pack, as well as health and safety issues. I can't wait to book another cruise and will take Cruise Advice 101 with me.

Summary: Great info on cruising
Review: I have been on at least 15 cruises on different cruise lines. The
experience I gained from each cruise helped me prepare for the
next. Reading Tim Serey's 'Cruise Advice 101' made me realize
that reading it first would have made it much easier to choose
which cruise to take, how to prepare, what to expect, etc.
rather than experiencing cruising on my own. Of particular
benefit were the 'Cruise Doctor Insights' which provide hints
that are beneficial to first time or experienced cruisers.
Highly recommended for all cruise enthusiasts. - RS -

Summary: A Must Read
Review: I read and enjoyed this book immensely. But more than being simply easy to read and comprehend, it will ultimately save me a few dollars and, much more importantly, it will save me a lot of time. I normally spend lots of time in calling and re-calling the travel agent because I didn't know the right questions to ask on the first call. This book will help me in planning my trip and, further down the line, it will help in my packing for the cruise. I, like most other travelers, tend to overpack and never use most of what I bring, this alone makes the book worth the price, which is pretty reasonable in itself. It is well organized and logical in it's approach to cruising. Dr. Serey has certainly authored an excellent, readable reference to getting the maximum enjoyment out of one of the most expensive of all vacation exeriences, a cruise.

Review: This book relates cruise info and advice -- things that travel agents usually do not tell you. In my opinion, it is especially important to read if you book cruises over the internet. Well worth the $$$$.
