Did anyone else read about this new book, Cruising from A-Z, in which author Bill Glenton - billed "a leading cruise writer" - warns that many holidaymakers booking a cruise risk "taking a voyage to disappointment"?
'While holidays afloat are usually enjoyable, cruising is now such a vast and complex business that it easy to make mistakes and select a cruise that disappoints. I often meet passengers who feel like a fish out of water.'
Luckily his book "shows us how to choose a cruise and ship to match our personality and pocket, while steering us clear of the shoals and rocks that can lie hidden in the fog of brochure boasts".
Hmmm. Rather than wade through the cliches, I think it would be much simpler and far more productive to speak to a travel agent who specialises in cruising.
