Meh. It has all the basic facts about cruise ships, but a lot of repeated information from one section to the next. And because it covers all the major cruise lines worldwide, there wasn’t much that was specific for any one company.
Also, there were stats and information that could’ve been left out- like instances where pregnant moms gave birth onboard, people missed their ship, which ports have the highest pickpocketers, and a list of shipwreck movies. For someone going on a cruise soon, parts of this book seemed like a deterrent from cruising.
