About the Author

Heidi Sarna has cruised on more than 75 ships of all shapes and sizes, and she loves them all (well, OK, some more than others). Her work appears regularly in Conde Nast Traveler, Frommers.com, and numerous other magazines, major guidebooks, websites, and newspapers, including the New York Times, Star Ledger, and Boston Herald. When she's not off cruising somewhere, she lives in the Big Apple with her husband, Arun, and their young sons. Matt Hannafin is freelance writer, editor, and musician based in New York City. A former Frommer's senior editor and senior online writer at Expedia Travels magazine, he currently writes a biweekly cruise newsletter for Frommers.com and a monthly column for the Boston Herald, contributes to various magazines and newspapers, edits for several UN agencies and most of the major New York publishing houses, and was co--editor and contributor to the New York Times bestseller 1,000 Places You Must See Before You Die (Workman, 2003).
