This coming weekend, February 27 and 28, is the time of this year’s New York Times traveler Show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in midtown Manhattan. Again there will be at least 500 exhibitors in attendance, each with a booth stocked with exhibits, brochures, and every type of marketing device. Exhibitors often offer special discounts to visitors, who typically crowd about the booths that trumpet special bargains. 

The show is also addressed by numerous traveler specialists, and Pauline and I will be among them.

Based partially on her own experience of several cruise lines, based even more on interviews she conducted with noted cruise commentators, some of them off-the-record and on deep background, others openly revealed by name, my daughter Pauline has posted an outspoken article on Bing.com that candidly describes the policies and personalities of the various cruise lines.

Who appeals to what audiences? What people will best enjoy their cruise on a particular line, what people should stay away from a particular line. What lines excel in cuisine, what lines excel in evening entertainment and sports, what cruise lines have declined in food preparation over the past several years, which among them cater openly to loud and brash partiers, which appeal to more thoughtful cruise passengers.

Pauline has written an exhaustive article but one that is so clearly organized that the reader can easily seek out the elements that matter most to them in choosing a cruise line for a particular cruise.
