Bought this for our first cruise. Very glad I did!

Having been cajoled into a cruise with friends (celebrating the a round number anniversary) I found myself in need of a quick education (from the point of view of a newbie) regarding the alternate universe of cruising.

This audio book had a wealth of information, tips, and tricks. It also has woven among the tips a great deal of good humor, and fun stories.

Well played, Sandy Vernon!

Note to author/Amazon: This reader would be happy to buy either: (a) a Kindle Version, or (b) hard copy just to fscilitateto easy re-reading of specific information. The audio book was a great listen, but makes it harder to look back over something I think I read.

Going on a cruise you MUST read this!

First I have never been on a cruise but I have been really wanting to take one. Well Deb Graham's book is a must read. I learned so much from what to take to what to do and everything in between. This book only made me want to take a cruise more. The narration was wonderful too Sandy Vermon does a great job of keeping you listening. The book reads more like a novel then a book of lists. I was gifted this book with the understanding that I would leave an honest review. What a gift!

Laughs and tricks for everyone.

First, I have to start off by stating that I got this book free of charge in exchange for a review, but as I always state, this does not in any way impact my review. My reviews are always honest and my own.

I found this book to be informative, easy to read, and sometimes even laugh out loud funny. (I do have a quirky sense of humor) I will be booking a cruise for the first time and was feeling overwhelmed by the many options available and decisions to be made. I found Deb's book and now excited about booking our cruise. I have been able to define what we are looking for, narrow down a cruise line, type of ship, and time frame. Im.taking a break to read her follow up to this boom. I don't want to be the uninformed passenger or spend more than I have to. I, like Deb, love a good bargain. If you are a first-time cruiser or you've been numerous times, you are sure to find tips and tricks to help you save money and get the most out your cruise vacation. Enjoy!

Good tips for novice cruise planners

I listened to this book before going on my very first cruise. Unfortunately, I had already booked it before listening so I was unable to put the money saving tips to use but as I enjoyed the rest of the tips and the cruise itself I am sure I will have opportunity to do so in the future!

I would recommend for anyone who is going to be planning a cruise!

I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work.

Tips from a Cruiser

Where does Tips from the Cruise Addict's Wife rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Although I was wanting more information on booking inexpensive trips, the author did well in describing how to enjoy the cruise once it is booked.

Worth it for any cruiser or would-be cruiser

Having been on 3 cruises, being a pretty thorough researcher and being a bit "tight"- I wasn't sure if I would find much helpful info here. But, it was well worth the listen. Whenever I came across new information, and I believed it may be something I would use, I wrote it down. My list has over 30 good tips. I will definitely implement a number of these ideas the next time I go on a cruise. Just some little things kept me from giving the book 5 stars. The biggest annoyance was the author feeling it was necessary to remind us of her husband's title. Virtually every time she brought him up, she would follow that with the statement that he is the "cruise addict". However, if you have any interest in cruising I think you will surely benefit from this book. I received this book at no charge in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Fantastic Guide

My goodness this made me want to go on a cruise badly. I have been on a cruiser with an experienced cruiser before so some information was not a surprise, but I felt this was still a fantastic guide with really great information. I would highly recommend this book to novices as well as experienced cruisers.
