Customer Reviews

Comprehensive but perhaps too "high level"

I bought this book for a cruise I was taking with my family. It was the only book I found that had information on ALL the ports we were visiting (including the "private island" used by my cruise company). So that was a major plus. But I found the info *about* each stop rather vague. Along the lines of "there are lots of new and creative shore excursions available at this port" but there wasn't much information about just WHAT these excursions might be and where you'd connect up with providers. On the other hand, it led us to a beautiful quiet beach on St. Thomas which was the highlight of our trip. Still probably a good choice if you don't want to purchase 3 or 4 separate guides, but knowing what I know now I would have used this book for ideas and done more on-line research as to how to implement those ideas.

Caribbean Ports of Call

Fodor's produces an excellent reference book for the Caribbean. While the book is not an exhaustive reference, it does do a wonderful job of giving a lot of overview information which will be helpful for first time, or few time visiotors to these pors.

Incredible guide

Yo soy de México, este libro es de los mejores, además contiene todo lo que uno requiere saber para cada uno de los puertos a donde llega el crucero. Estoy facinado por los secretos y tips que vienen en el libro, porque son cosas que no están contempladas en la naviera. Es un libro compacto, con la información necesaria para pasar unas vacaciones increibles en una de las regiones más importantes para el turismo de cruceros. Los invito a adquirir este libro antes de elegir el desitno y el barco en el que habrán de viajar. Saludos desde MEXICO.
