Cruise Information, Great Site!, November 16, 2007
Reviewer: Anita Danger
This is a grand site and is full of great information. This is an easy site to navigate through and feels very personal because the information is provided by Sid Kaplan, who has been in this industry for years and is sharing first hand information. Packing tips, cruise safety, passport information and a blog as well as an area you can share your cruise story, it covers everything you need to know and more. A very interesting site, nice layout, easy navigation, and pertinent information.

Visit this site before planning your cruise!, November 23, 2007
Reviewer: Lynn Lopez
I've always entertained the idea of going on a cruise someday, and I must say that this website was really, really helpful in providing plenty of information about it. So if you are also looking for a great resource on cruises, you can turn to this website and come away with a lot of new knowledge. It talks about nearly every aspect of cruises, including the food, what you can expect, activities, what you need to pack, and how you can cruise for free. Serious wealth of information right here. The design is nothing spiffy, but it keeps the whole site and the contents looking decently organized, so let's not look for fancy graphics and layouts anymore. You will completely appreciate the articles and all the advice, so it would surely be a good idea to bookmark this site if you're planning on going on a cruise in the future.

This is what a niche website should look like!, November 23, 2007
Reviewer: Dan Levy
Well, the title says it all.
I was surprised to see a site as good as this one looked. There has been a fair amount of time put into this project.
This site looks every bit as good as some that I pay for. But, then he does use SiteBuildIt, which is an excellent program. He obviously is going all out on this. This is a site I would have no problem recommending to friends.
My wife wants to take a cruise sometime, and I will have this site bookmarked for future reference.
If you are wanting to make a niche website, pay close attention to this one.
Great job.

Good guide for cruises, November 23, 2007
Reviewer: Claire Madarang
I like the look of this website. Of course, it used blue, the color of the ocean and the photos, white background and layout make it simple but attractive. Here you will find just about every kind of information about cruises especially discounts. It is also a good thing that an entire link is devoted to choosing a cabin, as some people can be meticulous about these things. The illustration of the cruise ship showing the different decks is also a good guide. It also helps that the person who put up this website is an experienced cruiser and knows what hes talking about.
I just have a nitpick on the way the information was presented. Tips like choosing a cabin, packing tips, passport and documents and such should have been put together under one heading. For a first-time visitor like me, I had to scroll down and find the other information below. Also, as the cruise blog is I believe supplementary information, it could have been put at the end.
Also, a separate navigation bar on top with Home, About, FAQs and Contact Us would make the site easier to navigate.
