1 out of 5 stars unhappy   November 17, 2008
I ordered this book on 10/3 and still have not received it. I wrote to amazon and still have not received the book. I am very unhappy with the service I am receiving in obtaining my paid for book, that I have not yet received.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent book to prepare for your Alaska cruise   August 26, 2008
This lavishly illustrated book, with an included map of the inside passage, is sold on cruise ships to supplement the sights the passengers are encountering along the way. It adds much detail about the history and culture of the splendid land from Seattle and Vancouver northward, particularly for the myriad coastal towns and harbors where cruise ships call or sail nearby. If you are looking for a dry listing of hotels, restaurants, and trinket shops, this is not the book for you. If you want to expand the sensory impact of your trip to Alaska, your money will be well spent on this companion guide.


5 out of 5 stars Alaska Cruise Handbook Mile Per Mile   July 17, 2008
This is an excellent resource guide for anyone planning to travel to Alaska. I am a travel professional planning trips for clients and this book is a fascinating read and gives me some unusual insights to share with my clients:)

It is easy to read - lots of photos and interesting facts about Alaska!

5 out of 5 stars Mile by Mile of the Alaska Coast   July 13, 2008
Wow what a book! Loved it so bought 2 copies for friends. To take the included map and read the book as you go "mile by mile" up the coast is fantastic! Since we are cruising next year, we purchased the book to see the pictures and read the info! No better compliment than to purchase other copies for other cruisers!




3 out of 5 stars great pictures, little cruise information   July 8, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this book because I was looking for information on the best things to do in each port, including kinds of excursions. The pictures were beautiful and there was a lot of great information on the history, but details on the excursions was very limited.
