Kids "My Cruise Adventure" booklet

[88golf88]

What is the easiest/best way to print out the kids adventure booklet? I thought I remember someone on here saying that UPS or FedEx prints them off and they will bind the pages together for you. Any suggestions?

I make these for my clients and my own daughter! I always send to Staples, which is our local office supply store. I have it printed and comb bound, and have a clear plastic cover and a black back cover put on. Then I pick it up! I know that Staples ships, because I've ordered copies from them, but I think I've ended up picking up the My Cruise Adventure books whenever I have a few printed.

I want to say the cost has historically been about $16 or $17 for the double-sided color printing, the covers, and the binding, but I could be misremembering.

I just printed and bound them to wrap to surprise my kids for Christmas (first DCL Cruise is their Christmas this year). I shopped around and ended up using Office Depot and doing it all online and then picking it up at my local store. Super easy and best deal I found, quality was great. I’m sure it will depend on what office store you have nearby. Shipping may have been an option. I was shocked though by the wide price differences between UPS store, FedEx, and Office Depot so definitely shop around. I don’t know if prices may vary by location too.

What is the Adventure Booklet? Going cruising with my grandneice and nephews in 2020 (7, 5, 4 yo). Would this book be in their age range?

It’s a free booklet you can download from the Disney Cruise website. I believe it is under the Oceaneer’s Club page at the bottom of the registration section. This is on the main website you don’t have to be logged in to see it. It is a combo kids level explanation of what to expect/journal they can record things like names of their servers in. It is definitely geared towards kids of the ages you listed.

Thank you @greensombrero and @Surgie2 . I can see now why you were asking about printing options. Do you print full size or half size books?

I printed full size on 8.5x11” paper single sided but you could probably make it work other ways.

Did you use a heavy paper for coloring or just standard copy paper?

I submitted the order online and had the first page printed on card stock so it was like a cover and selected an option for a back solid color back cover but the pages themselves I left as the default copy paper I don’t think it is heavier weight or anything. I liked how they turned out but I’m not giving them to my kids until Christmas so I may have different thoughts once they’ve tried using them. We printing coloring sheets at home though on normal paper and they are usually fine.
