What People Are Saying (1st Ed.)
“A great book! This book is a clear, cogent, informed and compassionate guide to the world of cruising for families. We have never been on a cruise and I was overwhelmed by the amount of information—let alone the thought including the kids in our planning. But now I know what questions to ask, what pitfalls to avoid and the hot tips for saving money! This book is really a goldmine and I (ALMOST) feel guilty buying it and now being so much more informed than the average traveler!”
Jennifer R.
“I wish I had this book prior to cruising with my children. Many of the suggestions for traveling with young children, I had to learn the hard way. This is a great guide for anyone thinking about going on a cruise with young children or who thought they should leave the children at home in order to have fun. I especially appreciated the ranking of cruise lines that may be more child friendly than others.”
Alyson F.
“I was super doubtful that I could cruise with kids and have a good time, but we had a remarkable trip thanks to the Family Cruise Companion and have already booked a second cruise! This wonderful guide is well-organized, easy to read, and SUPER helpful.”
Caroline G.
“Incredible book and a MUST HAVE for not only families traveling with small children but also a great resource for Travel Agents. The author captured so much important information that will take the guess work and anxiousness out of planning a family cruise. Having worked in the Travel business for over 11 years I was impressed as to how much research went into this book. It even helped me with answering some of my clients questions.”
