This book was nice, it described the ports of call that we visited in detail.

it did not, however, contain a section for Labadee, Haiti. this is a private beach owned by Royal Caribbean Intl, so i can see why this was not included.

It is a re-tread. So if you have a version from 2006 or 2005, stay with it. There is really no new information worth spending the money on. While I do not realy fault Frommer's for using old information, since not much changes in the caribbean, it should be more clearly noted that there is not much new in thier book.
