Summary:

As pursers on a major cruise line, the authors of this book were constantly bombarded with the same questions from cruise ship passengers: Where's the nearest beach? Do I have to get a cab there? Do I have time to go shopping? Where are the best shops, anyway? Tired of repeating the same answers time after time, Laura & Diane Rapp, a mother-and-daughter team, came up with the unique idea of providing the passengers with a book answering every question they might have.
