Being from Alaska and working for a cruise line, I ordered this book as a reference guide to help me remember info for customers when they call in to ask questions about Alaska and cruising. This book is well written and very knowledgeable about Alaska and the cruise traveler perspective. I recommend it highly for those who have never cruised to Alaksa before as it is a wonderful refernce guide to the ports of Alaska as well as the ships of the different cruise lines.
