New Cruise Passporter

[bwbuddy]

The new Passporter for Disney Cruise Line will hit the book stores in May, but can be pre-ordered for April shipment from the Passporter site. This is the best Disney Cruise Line planning guide out there!

I too love my WDW 2004 Deluxe Passporter so I was all set to order the new Cruise Passporter, but I am disappointed in the fact that it doesn't come out until May. Cruise season is already in full swing, and so it would seem to me that they should have done their best to get the book out a bit sooner (I read on the Passporter boards that they were waiting on including info about possible new Disney ships). Regardless, the timing of it doesn't seem the best to me.

As well, I live in Canada, so I ordered mine through Amazon.ca as it was much cheaper and would be delivered right to my door - but now I see from yesterday's Passporter News email that bookstores won't be receiving stock until Mid May - this greatly upsets me since my cruise is on May 2! I understand that as the publisher they want people to order directly through them, but for international orders, they are very expensive, plus there is no guarantee as to when I would receive my order due to customs. I also have the option of having the book delivered to a friend in the US or directly to my resort, but again, even with the 30% discount code from my WDW Passporter, it is still more expensive, as she lives in Michigan which means I have to pay sales tax, plus shipping, plus a handling fee. I find that ordering directly from Passporter is expensive as their shipping and handling fees are pretty high. Plus we are arriving for a week in WDW on April 23 (prior to cruise) and so I have no idea if they even would have been able to get it to us on time.

Thanks for letting me vent. I had emailed Passporter to ask specifics about when the new edition was coming out, and I never received a response, so I was hoping and praying that it would come out before our first Disney Cruise on May 2 - at this point I not only feel jinxed, but extremely disappointed that I won't be receiving my book until sometime in May which is AFTER I have cruised!

Thanks for reading this far. As usual, it pays to be American as us Canadians ALWAYS get left out in the cold in regards to ordering stuff from the US.

First time cruiser here (next April). Is this a good book for us? and does Birnbaum make a DCL book like their official guide to DW? Any other good books to recommend?

I loved the book and found it very helpful. Its the only one of that I know which deals with Disney and only Disney. All other cruise guides have a few pages on Disney and that was it. My first edition is highlighted throughout and I carried it around for weeks before our first cruise.

FYI, if you have already been on a DCL cruise, you can get a 30% discount on the new edition if you fill out an excursion survey on the Passporter website. I like to save money!

I am also looking forward to the updated Passporter! I bought the first edition for our first cruise and found it very informative. I am hoping the new edition goes into more detail about the excursions and gives ratings for them. I think that would be very helpful.

I pre-ordered mine too and can't wait to get it. I decided to get the deluxe edition this time. I love the PassPorter books. Just a couple more weeks.....

I pre-ordered mine 2 days ago. I have been waiting for this book to come out as we are 1st time Disney cruisers. We are cruising in May and I didn't want to take a chance that I might not be able to find it in my local bookstores before then so I pre-ordered directly from the Passporters website.
