| Cruise Vacations for Mature Travelers
- A reviewer from North Carolina said about the book, "This book is not about "old people" - it is instead an extremely
well written and informative book for people who just happen to be over
50, who want to go on a cruise, and have a LOT of fun. To quote the author,
"For this book, mature travelers refers to adults who know what they
want, both from a vacation and from life. Some overworked forty-year-olds
want to prop up their feet and unwind for seven full days while the active
retirees water-ski." You want to dance up a storm all night? He'll
tell you the ships that offer that kind of nightlife. You don't want to be
around children? He'll tell you that, too. The author walks you through
the entire process of identifying the right type of cruise for your
personality, which ships give special attention to the older person who is
traveling with a spouse or alone; how to book one, how to prepare for one,
what to do once on board, and finally an overview of the various cruise
lines and ship profiles. I felt Mr. Smith gave me all of the necessary
details but in a writing style that was far more personal and interesting.
Please don't let the title turn you off - I was worried about it too -
this book is terrific!" |

| The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cruise Vacations - When it comes right down to it, cruises are fun, and cruising guidebooks should be, too. That's why we don't rank ships based on some arcane numerical system (what does a 63 score on afternoon tea mean, anyway?) but spell out everything in human terms to help you find the cruise vacation of your dreams. We give you tips on matching your interests to the best ship and itinerary, tips on getting the best deal, and tips on which lines offer the best food, entertainment, and children's programs-and more. We also tell you all about the shipboard experience, from casino game rules to tipping etiquette, and let you in on the best experiences at all the ports in the Caribbean and Alaska. We even give recipes so you can make your favorite cruise drinks when you get home! It's all here: facts, figures, photos, and fun. What a deal! |
