5.0

I admit it. I don't consider myself the kind of person who takes cruises, preferring instead to leave luxury behind and strike out on my own. But that kind of travel can be exhausting, research-intensive, and sometimes more pricey than it needs to be. Brasher's guide on making the most of Alaskan cruises is absolutely perfect for independent travelers like me as well as travelers who simply want to make the most of their precious vacation time - and their even more precious money.

Packed full of information about all things Alaska, Brasher provides solid guidance on the nuts and bolts of cruises, including onboard expenses, lines, itineraries, tours, and on-board activities. But it doesn't stop there, providing solid tips on a number of Alaska ports and even the local flora and fauna. All in all, 42 quick, jam-packed chapters.

I recommend it without reservation. You won't be sorry you bought this extensive, well-informed, engaging guide to Alaskan cruises. I can't wait to put Thrasher's advice into action on my first ever cruise.
