Not only about the places we have visited, but about cruising in general. I thought this world make a great idea for a book.</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>When I started to look into writing a book on cruising, there was just too much information for any one book. This led me down a path where I became more focused and decided to concentrate on the act of cruising. How to pick a destination, a cruise line, a ship and a stateroom that was best for the traveller. This is how I got started and how I ended up with <i>Ocean Cruise Travel Tips</i>.</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>Cruising is very dynamic and things do change rapidly. To keep up with the trends, I found that I have to do an annual update to the material. I hope you enjoy the book and that you find some tips that make your next cruise more enjoyable.</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>Mike</span>
