1 comments about Alaska Place Names.

1. When I first flipped through this book, I was surprised by how many entries did not have any story about how the place was named. When I started to dig deeper, I found that the places I was looking for (mainly rivers and lakes) were not even in the book.
   
   Alaska is a huge place and 191 pages do not nearly do it justice. I'd suggest, at best, looking up Alaska Place Names in the library before buying it. Chances are the information you seek is not in there.

3 comments about Frommer's Alaska Cruises & Ports of Call 2005 (Frommer's Complete).

1. I have never been on a cruise, but I am a savvy seasoned independant world traveler, (including over a dozen trips to Alaska), and I thought this book was an incredible resource! Alaska cruise options these days seem almost endless. There are more than 17 cruiselines taking more than 700,000 paasengers a season to Alaska! Juneau alone, receives over 450 passenger ship port of calls annually. Competing cruises are almost as indivdual as you are. This guidebook does a great job of laying out and encapsulating the many diverse cruise choices. When you finish reading this guide you will not only know which cruiseline you are interested in and which route, but you will likely know which individual ship you want to cruise on!
   
   Visiting wedsites or talking with a travel agent are a poor substitute. Cruiseline websites provide lots of details, but lack comparative information. In addition, they are not going to tell you if their cabins are tiny, or the food is mediocre. Save visiting the cruiseline websites until after you read this guidebook to get more detail and photos - when you have narrowed the field.
   
   Travel agents, no matter how good they are, simply don't have the time to dsseminate the volume of information in this book. But after you read this book and if you decide to use a travel agent, you will walk in well-informed and your agent will be quite impressed. It will also save them time and breath!
   
   Whether your cruise is a once-in-a-liftime trip or an annual event, ...this guidebook is an invaluable resource.



2. I bought this book before an Alaskan cruise this summer, and found it to be invaluable, both for researching before hand and enjoying the ports of call on our cruise.
   
   It's small (so it's easily portable), and chock full of information about all the ports. We used it constantly during the trip!
   
   A tip - I bought this book in addition to the bigger Frommer's Alaska. The bigger book contains all the same info as the little one, along with details on a lot of places not covered in the cruising book. So don't buy both - decide how much of Alaska you want to see, and just get the one that suits your travel plans.



3. This book was great ...I read it from cover to cover and it gave me incredible information even about the cruise ship we were on that the line did not share with us. Would highly recommend it.
