PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line and Its Ports of Call from Amazon FYI

[Schachteles]

I cannot remember what thread I was reading, but we were talking about buying this book from Amazon...well I just got this e-mail...so now the book won't be released till April...I was hoping to have it sooner just because I am excited to read it, but at least I still have plenty of time. Thought that someone might like to know.

It can be posted because it's not a travel agency's site competing with this board's sponsor, Dreams Unlimited. You can go ahead and pre-order now, too. I have!!

You can also sign up for discounts for future books by registering your Passporter Guidebook, and there other ways to aquire a discount code as well. Check that out on their site, too.

IMO, it's well worth the money even without a discount! Enjoy!

That is very odd...I ordered mine about the same time as you...so I am not sure why there is a difference. I had to verify that I still wanted them to send it.

We don't cruise till November either, so there is time, you just get excited and want it NOW.

Your order was placed almost 2 months later ( Nov 15 vs. Jan 18) I guesss it is first come, first served.

You are right...I had ordered it back in November, but cancelled it...so I reordered in January...either way I will have it WELL before the trip.

Just wanted people to know in case they are cruising sooner.

But, if you order it direct from the Passporter site, you cut out the middle man, support the site AND get it before Amazon. Plus you get sneak peak files as they are available. I really enjoyed the first one. Wonder if they will send others? We are sailing in March and August and I so want this to plan my August trip as it's Mexican Riviera and we have never travelled that area.

 

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Is there a difference in the price of the Passporter on their site and on Amazon?

I'm in Canada and I prefer going through Amazon because I can get shipping for free and not pay any sort of customs charges.

If you Pre Ordered from Passporter's site, they do upload new chapters as they become available. They have instructions I believe on their Pre-Order page on how to do so.

If you get Passporter's Newsletter or are a member of their message boards I have seen codes to get a discount on the book as well.
