Amazon.com Review When you board a cruise ship, you enter into an experience that will be your world for as long as you've signed on. The food you eat, the diversions you choose, the rooms you live in, and the people you meet will all be somewhat predetermined by the cruise line you select. Making the right choice means more than finding the best price and itinerary. It's worth putting in a bit of time and forethought to select the ambience that most suits your traveling style. Toward this goal, Frommer's 2000 Caribbean Cruises and Ports of Call is a remarkably informative tome. It has everything and then some. It covers every ship that sails the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Panama Canal, as well as what to see in ports of embarkation (such as Miami, Tampa, New Orleans, and Fort Lauderdale) and ports of call from Antigua to St. John. Equally as important, the organizational devices are superb, making it easy to sort through the potentially overwhelming options. It covers when to go, where to go, and choosing the right ship whether you're single and looking to meet someone, a family with children to consider, a pair of honeymooners, or a couple celebrating your 50th anniversary. There's also a useful chapter on getting a good price and a chapter on cruise logistics that can spare you some unpleasant surprises. In addition, there are lists of Frommer Favorites (best luxury cruises, most romantic cruises, best party cruises, best cuisine, etc.), a chapter on soft-adventure lines and sailing ships, an appendix with price comparisons and sample calendars and menus, as well as an online directory that lets you access relevant Internet sites. A week on the wrong ship can be hell. Using Frommer's 2000 Caribbean Cruises practically insures that you'll find the sort of cruise you had in mind. --Stephanie Gold
Product Description For the traveller who only takes one guidebook Frommer's covers everything. This guide to Caribbean cruises contains an all-new appendix of the daily activity calendars for every ship, as well as reviews of all ships, ports of call and the best deals.

| Customer Reviews: Best of the bunch January 30, 2000 12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I've checked out all of the cruise guides on the market, and the Frommer's 2000 is by far the best. Not only is it easy (and fun) to read, but it is organized into useful categories from cheapo cruises to super luxury lines. The author really seems to know what she is talking about and obviously has lots of experience.
The best Cruise book out there March 18, 2000 Christopher Rabidou 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is by far the best cruise book out there. The detail it gives about the ships and ports is very helpful. It also gives you other valuable info. before you book and take the cruise. I was very impressed. It is ten times better then the Berlitz book (which I think is very poor). I would suggest this book to anyone getting ready to take a cruise to the Caribbean!
Really should be titled 1999 Caribbean Cruises August 21, 2000 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Though Frommer's reviewed the ports of call in top notch Frommer's style they greatly lack in up to date ship information. In particular, little information on Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas- which is the reason I purchased it. I emailed the author concerning this and received no response.
I was hoping for full color pictures March 6, 2002 John D. Morris (Omaha, Nebraska United States) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
To much reading for me. Basically an encyclopedia of information on cruises... information overload for just one trip!
