Summary: Magazine purchases via Amazon
Comment: I would not recommend the purchase of a magazine subscription from Amazon since it takes twice the time to receive your first issue. Becasue of that I have not received an issue to review it properly yet. I will purchase all subscriptions direct from the publisher especially if its the same price as this was.

Summary: A very informative magazine for the novitiate and the knowledgeable.
Comment: 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.

Summary: it's mostly advertising!
Comment: I am surprised to see other subscribers praising this magazine so much! I do not think it is fair to pay $20 for six very thin issues overloaded with travel agents' ads. The "readable portion" is quite informative but miniscule
and color photographs are abundant , there is just too much advertising in this 60 page magazine! Make it free for us then, advertisers have already already paid!
Customer Rating:
Summary: over all nice mag
Comment: "Cruise Travel" is a magazine about cruising, and is generally informative and interesting. Though it seems to mainly pertain to an older reading audience and the photos are not always as interesting or as amazing as the other main cruise travel magazine "Porthole" I am generally pleased with the content of the magazine.

Summary: The Best Cruise Magazine I Have Seen
Comment: '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'.
