Going on a cruise with DCL? You MUST get this book!,
By
This review is from: Passporter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line: The Take-Along Travel Guide and Planner (Passporter Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I did tons of research before our cruise in April 2003, mostly on the Internet. About 75% of the info in this book can be found elsewhere, but not in one place--and that's what makes this purchase worthwhile. I looked at lots of Caribbean travel books and was disappointed to find little to no valuable information on DCL's ports of call. It hardly seemed worth buying a big fat book on the Caribbean islands when only a handful of pages actually covered the ones I'd be visiting. This book, on the other hand, has several pages dedicated to each of DCL's ports of call and excellent descriptions of excursions and on-your-own adventures. Especially useful are sample menus for the DCL restaurants, details of spa services, packing tips, stateroom plans, and misc "magical" hints to make a DCL cruise memorable. I discovered some inaccuracies while on the cruise, but nothing that ruined my vacation. Changes in schedules, activities, menus, prices, etc. are inevitable. Fortunately the authors keep their web site up to date with revisions. Two things I love about this book besides the content in general: one, the authors aren't snobbish or know-it-alls; they're "real" people. I don't worry that they're being paid by someone to say positive things, and they seem to be very honest with their reviews. Two, it's a compact book that's easy to take along anywhere--and believe me, you'll want to. Don't re-invent the wheel! Get this book, and if it doesn't answer all your questions, THEN check out some of the few excellent web sites dedicated to DCL info.

helpful no matter how much you think you know,

This review is from: Passporter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line: The Take-Along Travel Guide and Planner (Passporter Travel Guides) (Paperback)
We rec'd this book only days before we left on our cruise. Despite doing extensive research on the web for months prior, within minutes of receiving the Passporter I learned new and useful information. The book was a joy to have onboard as we used it throughout the day to determine dining choices and entertainment possibilities. Most importantly the index and/or maps provided instant clarification to questions about specific locations on the ship. The book is written in an easy to follow format and in such a way that makes you think of Jennifer and Dave as old friends just giving advice. Great Book.

Big Help for First Time Cruisers,
By D Heller (Armour,, SD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Passporter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line: The Take-Along Travel Guide and Planner (Passporter Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I was able to easily find answers to all of my questions about our first ever planned cruise on Disney's Magic. Filled with things that would take forever to find on-line yourself. Tips and suggestions for things that I never would have thought of. Well worth the cost of the book.
