Cruise Travel

When we took a cruise together, the reviewers for our cruise were on our ship and did an excellent job, highlighting the positives and appropiatly commenting on the few problems we encountered. It just helped to show that the staff were not "bought" by the cruise lines to be paid advertising. I only wish we had known the reviwers were on board; I would have liked to talk with them - we did not know until that issue came out.

In conclusion, the reviews, photograghs and diagrams are very inclusive and help make this an enjoyable and informative magazine. I highly recommend it for any one interested in cruise ships and cruising.


The Best Cruise Magazine I Have Seen   May 24, 2004

'Cruise Travel' is the best cruise magazine that I have seen, and though a fairly thin magazine, is packed with great useful information. I particularly enjoy the Cruise of the Month, Port of the Month, and especially the Ship of the Month features. They also have monthly news updates, and letters to the editor that are normally well selected to give diverse viewpoints, and have frequently brought up issues I had never considered. The number of ads is very reasonable, and they all relate to the subject matter and are therefore not objectionable, like in some other publications I have seen.

I appreciate the attempt to cover all bases and levels of cruising, from the biggest suites on the 'Queen Mary 2' to any party on the sea by Carnival. I am a devoted Celebrity customer, and find the reporting on Celebrity to be spot-on accurate, so I am assuming that it is with other lines that I am not familiar with, too. I especially enjoyed the recent June 2004 issue in which Celebrity's beautiful 'Summit' graced the cover as Ship of the Month.

This magazine is a great resource for anyone considering a cruise, from a first timer to an experienced cruiser. I highly recommend 'Cruise Travel'.

My partner and I led a small group on a cruise (my first; he's a travel agent.) We had subscribed to Cruise Travel for several years and I had always enjoyed looking them over, and then getting to see the ships either in port or getting to do a travel agent tour. On our cruise, unknown to us at the time, were reviewers from Cruise Travel, so we had a nice surprise with the next issue when we got home. They were very thorough and honest and the accompanying pictures were great. I highly recommend the magazine both for an informative review in words and pictures of cruise ships and the ports they visit.

I love this magazine and have actually subscribed to it off and on since I began my cruise addiction as a teenager. It is still just as informative and fun to read as ever. Even though I am loyal to one particular cruise line, I still enjoy reading about other lines, historic ships and of course, the ports of call. My only complaint is that it is only published 6 times a year. I wish it were monthly! It is just too long to wait between issues.
