This book was full of information - probably too much information. I can see how it would be both useful and a hinderance to a first-time cruiser. On the one hand, it provides any information you would ever need on all of the cruise lines and their ships. On the other hand, I don't know how you would even begin to wade through all the information and make a decision.

I basically just read the section on the cruise line we always use (Princess) and it confirmed to me that I will never cruise on another cruise line.

Most of all, it just got me more excited for our upcoming trip!
