Product Description
The CruiseMinder Journal is ideal for anyone planning to take a cruise. First, it offers pre-departure suggestions such as what to take, tips for packing, a packing checklist, an agenda for planning daily activities, pages for emergency information, addresses for writing home, and much more. Once underway, the roomy daily diary pages are just the right size to chronicle up to 31 days' adventures at sea or ashore. There are also pages for noting details about the ship, the crew, and new friends, too! In the back of the book is a nautical glossary and reference maps of the world. Of course, there are pages to attach photos and also a vinyl pocket for additional photos, cards, receipts, etc. Once home, the CruiseMinder will be a lasting and priceless souvenir of any ocean-going experience! This delightful journal sports a deep purple & gold cover with a spiral binding for ease of writing. Nautical graphics on most pages make it extra fun to use...and a great gift, too!

Just Awesome July 18, 2008
This book has been my "bible" for cruise planning over the past few months. Here's a layout of how incredibly organized this book will keep you!
Main Page - List your critical info, medical insurance & travel insurance info, emergency contact, etc.
Agenda/Planner - Lists day, day of week, date - your am & pm plans and what attire you'll need. List up to 31 days.
Packing - List of things you might want to take, then a two-page packing checklist organized by section. As I think of things I want to take, or think I want to take, I've been writing them in pencil and will update later.
Writing Home - Addresses / e-mail / phone for keeping in touch. I'm also listing ideas or requests I have from people for gifts underneath their name / address.
Homecoming Reminders - Things you need to do when you get home, for filling out on the cruise. Such as, pay this bill, pick up the dog, etc.
Daily Diary: Morning / Afternoon / Evening section - you list at sea or in port, where you ate, what you did. Then a big "More about this day..." section. In this section I'm listing the confirmation #s, contact #s, etc. that I need for the day.
The Ship - Info about the Ship that you can fill out.
New Friends Address Book
Purchases & Expenses - Log by category and date - 4 pages.
Also features Nautical Terms, world and continent maps, 10 pages for notes, a 2008/2009 calendar and a plastic sleeve for any tickets, tour vouchers, etc. you need to keep handy.
This book is so awesome - I highly recommend for your cruise vacationing, especially cruises of longer than 7 days or very port-intensive trips where you are doing a lot of non-ship shore excursions.

Before my last vacation, I bought three different travel planner/journals to try out; one was computer based (and I did use it for some data organizing but found that printing it out wasn't as handy or as easy to pack as a notebook) and two were notebooks. One of the notebooks is still buried at the bottom of some pile of papers while the CruiseMinder Journal became my constant companion. It took all my planning notes before the trip and became my journal during the trip.
Since I wasn't up to designing my own travel journal, CruiseMinder had the features I thought that I would want and use: places for organizing trip basics like emergency info, reservation numbers, phone numbers; a planner/agenda section for organizing day-by-day activities; packing lists; an addressbook; a place to keep track of expenses; a large section of formated journal pages with plenty of room for my own day-by-day notes.
The CruiseMinder is simple and practical. There are no avant-garde cutsey quotes or distracting artwork. The typefaces are simple and legible. There are ruled lines everywhere I need to write. The paper is heavy enough that 1)you can write in pen on both sides of the pages and 2) it doesn't pull out of the plastic coil binding. The fact that it is spiral bound made it a lot easier to stuff notes and receipts between the pages as the trip went on.
I am very disorganized so the CruiseMinder was very helpful for me to keep all the necessary information in one place. In fact, I'm here today buying another CruiseMinder for my next trip.
