Cruising: A Guide to the Cruise Line Industry 2nd Edition

This book was, like another of Mancini's books, Conducting Tours, both simple and simplistic. It was wide, but not very deep. If you've never been on a cruise it provides good descriptions, but only the last few chapters attempt to give practical information about selling cruises. The books by Kelly Monaghan are much more useful for the beginning agent.

Significantly lowerer than the college bookstore. This is the textbookfor CLIA and offers a good overview of the Cruiseline Industry. Do not expect a detailed or in depth analysis.

Comprehensive, to old in such a dynamic fieldThis industry develops very quickly and a book like this is now outdated.For example talking about the megaships being 100 000 ton -that today are medium-ships.The megaships being 180 000- 225 000 ton!The book is almost of historical interest , thus to see how quickly the industry develops.

This book covers all the bases that someone new to the cruise or travel industry would need to know. It really is a textbook for the cruise industry student - complete with chapter reviews and assignments. If you're serious about learning, this is the book for you!

Product Outdated, prompt delivery

I've enjoined reading this book, mainly due to its freindly-written style. This book certainly offers a welcoming catalysis for everyone who is interested in extending knowledge of cruising industry.Certainly recommended!Dr. Hillel Avihai

Mandatory course material for Travel Agent course.
