Summary: A must read!
Comment: This is a very well written, organized book for anyone planning to travel to Alaska by cruise ship. It contains very helpful information comparing cruise lines, also. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Read this if you are booking an Alaskan cruise!
Comment: This is the best, most informative book on this subject I have found, by far. It is a must if you are considering booking an Alaskan cruise. It rates all the ships and companies, large and small and gives great information on all the ports that are visited by these ships. Certainly a great resource to help you book the type of adventure that fits your style!

Summary: Ports of Call Alaska
Comment: This book wasn't as thorough as I had anticipated. It was only general info that I could obtain through internet "clicking". I had thought that this would be very in-depth on each port. Purchased two Alaska type books at the same time and this one was used only in a cursory manner.

Summary: Very helpful but...
Comment: I bought this book to help me figure out which cruise line to book. It has great detail for that as it describes each line but I wish there was a table that pulls together all that information. I am going to have to make a spread sheet to try to figure out which would be the best price with the amenities I want. This is going to be a big chore as I am not a computer geek. Also, the listing for the hours of daylight for each month is very confusing...I have no clue what 19:30 means and there is no further explanation for that. Other than these criticisms, it's a very helpful planning resource.Frommer's Alaska Cruises & Ports of Call 2008 (Frommer's Cruises)

Summary: Alaska cruise stops
Comment: This is a very helpful guide for those taking an Alaska cruise; it helps you choose the right cruise for your objectives. It reviews the various landtours available but I particularly like the section in each port-of-call that suggests self-conducted tours with detailed maps, costs, and directions. For example, I will be taking a bus available near the pier to see Mendenhall Glacier (near Juneau); I can set my own departure/return time and save 70% of what the cruise ship company wanted to charge me for taking their (the same!) tour.
