Here's what people are saying about
"How to Book the Best Cruise Deal"

 


    Melody Moser"I thought I knew all about cruising -- until I read Clark Norton's extremely thorough 'How to Book the Best Cruise Deal.'

Using just two of his strategies, I was able to save $871 when booking a 7-day Caribbean cruise on Princess and $216 on airfare!

I highly recommend this book, which gives beginning and experienced cruisers alike lots of strategies on how to get the best deal when booking a cruise -- and the confidence to know a good deal when they see one."

-- Melody Moser, Mays Landing, New Jersey

    Mary Sullivan"Smarter Cruising's new eBook 'How to Book the Best Cruise Deal' is packed with useful information.

    Cruise line pricing has always been mysterious to me. This book helped me understand not only the 'whats' of booking early vs. booking late, but also the 'whys.'

Very helpful! I recommend this book to anyone planning a cruise, whether it will be their first or their twentieth."

-- Mary Sullivan, Oakland, California

  • "If you have booked a cruise and have not read 'How to Book the Best Cruise Deal' by Clark Norton cancel the cruise immediately.

Rebook the cruise only after you have read every word and have memorized the 'Smooth Sailing Tips.'

Not only will you save money and time, you will feel you are in the know and that you are in charge and control of your vacation.

It will really be smooth sailing."

-- Louie Richmond, Seattle, Washington
 

Believe me, you won't find this kind of high-quality information anywhere else. How do I know? Let me give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim:

Three Reasons "How to Book the Best Cruise Deal" is the only guide to booking a cruise you'll ever need

Syd QuayReason one: As I mentioned earlier, my name is Clark Norton, and I've been a professional travel writer for 25 years.

Throughout my career I've specialized in relaying the best possible information about saving money on travel to my readers.

This work is my personal obsession!

It's also extremely gratifying -- nothing makes me happier than when one of my readers tells me "Hey Clark, thanks to you I saved a ton of money on my last cruise -- and had an absolute blast!"

My articles have appeared in dozens of major publications around the world, including The Washington Post Magazine, Hemispheres, Outside, JAL Winds, Family Fun, Parenting, Destinations, and Discovery.

I've authored or contributed to more than a dozen guidebooks for major publishers such as Fodor's, Frommer's, Hunter Adventure Guides, AA Publishing, and Mobil Travel Guides.

I'm a member of the Society of American Travel Writers, the Travel Journalists Guild, and the Writers Guild of America. I've received two Pacific Asia Travel Association Gold Awards for excellence in magazine and newspaper writing.

Church & ShipReason two: I've scoured the information universe -- print guidebooks, the Internet, etc. -- looking for a reference guide exactly like this one. I couldn't find it. That's why I compiled and wrote "How to Book the Best Deal."

Sure, you could do what I did, and spend months searching for all the high-quality resources and top-notch how-to information you need to find and book the best deal on your cruise vacation.

But why waste your most precious resource -- time?

Reason three: Even if you did manage to find the information you were looking for somewhere else, you'd still be forced to consider the source of that information.

I'm not a travel agent. I'm not trying to sell you a particular cruise, or tell you how to cruise -- that's for you to decide!

Simply put, just like you, I'm passionate about cruising. A big part of that passion is helping people learn to be Smarter Cruisers -- so you can save lots of money on your next cruise.

My only goal is to help you find and book the very best deal on the best cruise vacation for you. Period.

Knowledge, as they say, is power, and after you read "How to Book the Best Deal," you'll be a cruise booking expert. People will ask you for your advice before they book their next cruise vacation.

Warning: Do NOT buy a guide to saving money when you book your cruise unless it meets the following 3 criteria

I know there's lots of information floating around out there about the cruise industry. I want to give you 3 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively must keep in mind before spending a single hard-earned penny on a guide to cruise booking:

FR- Bonafacio1: Who is the source of the information? A lot of advice on the Web about cruising comes from travel agents, who always have a specific agenda: making commissions from selling you certain cruises.

You'll also find plenty of information out there that comes from the cruise lines themselves... but you should take their advice with a boulder-size grain of salt. If you contact them, they'll most likely try to steer you towards booking a cruise with them.

You can't blame them, of course -- after all, they're only trying to do what they have to do to stay in business: convince you to book one of their cruises.

On the other hand, I'm a travel writer who for more than twenty-five years has specialized in gathering and relaying the best possible information about saving money on travel to my readers.

Unlike travel agents or the cruise lines themselves, my only goal is to help you become a Smarter Cruiser, by providing you with the information and tools you need to get the best possible deal on the best cruise for you.

Now, there's nothing wrong with booking a cruise through a travel agent or, in certain circumstances, even through the cruise lines themselves. But you need to educate yourself before you talk to them, or you'll be at a disadvantage when playing their game.

That's why you'll want to read "How to Book the Best Cruise Deal" first!

That's why we spent months writing "How to Book the Best Cruise Deal"... so that you'll have all the up-to-date, accurate information you'll ever need right at your fingertips -- a guide you'll refer to again and again!
