Re: Cruise Guidebook

Passporter has a DCL guidebook now. I'm sure it's just as helpful as the WDW Passporter:)

Re: Cruise Guidebook

I agree... the Passporter DCL was very good! We used it for our trip last year.

Also, there's a pdf at Allears that was very good... and free. It's here. It's not pretty, but it has ALOT of information.

Re: Cruise Guidebook

I too agree...we just got back from our cruise in December & the passporter was on the mark with just about everything! Just forgot to mention not to eat too much at dinner to save room for the late night dessert buffet! Its a great guide with lots of info, I highly recommend it.

Re: Cruise Guidebook

Birnbaum also has a DCL guide. Probably about as helpful as the Birnbaum WDW guide, but lots of pretty pictures at least... .

Re: Cruise Guidebook

We used the Birnbaum guide on our first cruise last year, and we found it to be pretty helpful! I'm going to get the Passporter guide this year to check it out!

I just got the Passporter through Barnes and Nobles at a discount plus if you order at least $25, free shipping. I just started to read it last night and it looks good.

Re: Cruise Guidebook

I've never been on a cruise, and I'll be doing a Disney Cruise next year sometime.
Would Birnbaum be better for a first time cruiser? maybe.
I'll probablly end up buying them all anyways hee hee

Re: Cruise Guidebook

I am soon to be a first time cruiser and the Passporter answered every question I think I could have. It was great!

It is not too early to plan. I think they book 18 months out and the price goes up as it fills up. I would book as early as possible. You only have to pay the deposit at that time.

Re: Cruise Guidebook

I couldn't find the deluxe Passporter Disney Cruise Line guide, so I had to order it from Barnes & Noble today!

I want the deluxe guide so that my family and I could make it into our scrapbook this time around!!
