Download or read book Frommer s Caribbean Cruises Ports of Call 2004 written by Heidi Sarna and published by *Frommers. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cruise is a complete vacation, so it's important that you choose the one that's right for you. Frommer's Caribbean Cruises & Ports of Call is the most user-friendly, opinionated, and informative guide you can buy before you set sail. Unlike other guides that try to cover cruises around the entire world in one volume, we focus solely on the Caribbean, so we can bring you much more in-depth coverage. Unlike those used in other guides, our rating system is simple. We break down the essential elements of a cruise experience (dining, activities, children's activities, entertainment, service, overall enjoyment, and overall value), and rate them from "poor" to "outstanding." Photos of each ship combine with the text to give a better sense of the very real differences among the various lines. Most important, this is the only cruise guide that provides the real prices people pay for cruises, not just the rack rates. Other guides tell you that a seven-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas costs $2,099. You can pay that if you want to, but only Frommer's tells you that the same cruise is selling for $649. We give both the rack rates and the discount price for every cruise in the Caribbean. This feature alone makes Frommer's Caribbean Cruises and Ports of Call by far the most valuable trip-planning book among cruise guides. Our authors, noted cruise experts who've personally checked out every ship sailing the Caribbean, offer candid and unbiased opinions on them all. They are completely up to date, with all the latest developments and the newest ships. You'll also get complete coverage of 35 Caribbean port destinations, with advice on how to spend your limited time ashore.

Download or read book Frommer s New York City 2004 written by Brian Silverman and published by *Frommers. This book was released on 2003-08-15 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, New York City welcomed 29.5 million domestic visitors, an increase of 80,000 or 0.3% over 2000's 29.4 million domestic visitors. New York City's increase in total domestic visitors was due to a 4.7% jump in domestic travelers from January 1 to September 10 over 2000? an increase large enough to offset New York's 7.5% decrease in domestic visitors after September 11. Before 9/11, overall domestic travel to New York City was up 4.7% from 2000. Following 9/11, overall domestic travel to New York City fell by 7.5% from 2000, compared with the nation's 5.2% decline. As of summer 2002, citywide hotel occupancy rates have rebounded to within one to two percentage points from where they were a year ago. In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the city has restored public transportation sooner than it was thought possible and continuing to offer bargains and values to travelers, particularly in the downtown area. A city of museums continues to add and expand more: the city's newest is downtown's Museum of Sex.
