I looked at lots of Caribbean travel books and was disappointed to find little to no valuable information on DCL's ports of call. It hardly seemed worth buying a big fat book on the Caribbean islands when only a handful of pages actually covered the ones I'd be visiting. This book, on the other hand, has several pages dedicated to each of DCL's ports of call and excellent descriptions of excursions and on-your-own adventures.
Especially useful are sample menus for the DCL restaurants, details of spa services, packing tips, stateroom plans, and misc "magical" hints to make a DCL cruise memorable.
I discovered some inaccuracies while on the cruise, but nothing that ruined my vacation. Changes in schedules, activities, menus, prices, etc. are inevitable. Fortunately the authors keep their web site up to date with revisions.
Two things I love about this book besides the content in general: one, the authors aren't snobbish or know-it-alls; they're "real" people. I don't worry that they're being paid by someone to say positive things, and they seem to be very honest with their reviews. Two, it's a compact book that's easy to take along anywhere--and believe me, you'll want to.
Don't re-invent the wheel! Get this book, and if it doesn't answer all your questions, THEN check out some of the few excellent web sites dedicated to DCL info.
