highly recommended

I called Jim West using the toll-free number I found in the book(800-708-0880) to express to him our gratitude, and when I told him about the cruise my wife and I were planning on the Crystal Harmony, he not only found the exact same package (a better cabin location too) for $1400 less than what my local travel agent gave us, but he also offered to personally plan the entire cruise. I cancelled with my local travel agent, gave him the business and have just returned from that cruise.

I can't express enough my thanks to Jim for all his help. If you're planning a cruise, call him!! He is a great guy and without doubt, HE is the best investment you'll make on your cruise.

A PERFECT GIFT FOR SOMEONE GOING ON A CRUISE!

I bought this book for my parents who are going on their first cruise. According to my mother, who normally doesn't offer any opinion about books, THE ESSENTIAL LITTLE CRUISE BOOK was the most informative book she had ever hoped to receive. I had no idea it would make such an impression. She also commented that it offered more information than what her travel agent told her.

I read one of the other reviews that gives Jim West's toll-free number and I called him to plan our family reunion cruise. He was very professional and I couldn't recommend him enough or his book. Just in case you didn't read the other review, his telephone number is 800-708-0880. Definitely worth calling, even if you just compare prices to what your local travel agent is offering!

An Essential Accessory

Jim West's little book may be pint-sized but it packs a whopping amount of practical information. Even old salts can learn new tricks and, as a veteran of over two dozen cruises, I found his thoughfully presented insights to be an excellent reminder of why I love cruise ships and voyages at sea.

This cruising guide should be tucked into every cruise passenger's document package. I heartily recommend it to anyone contemplating their first cruise.


Right from the heart

I found this cruise "booklet" earnestly written straight from the heart of the author. It's refreshing to see passion in one's work being translated into print! Way to go, Jim! (PS. The book is indeed an integral tool to our editorial team at Asian Cruise Passenger Magazine)

Very packable, with good tips for new cruisers

I bought this by mistake in a special boxed set with a tape labeled "Cruise Control." I was actually looking for Pam Kane's book of that title, and in my haste didn't check the author. West's book is a minute and therefore wonderfully packable book that is ideal for the first time cruiser. However, anyone who has been on a cruise will find little of interest. If, however, you have a friend going for the first time this would be a great and useful bon voyage gift.
