Shortly before I left for Orlando, I was excited to find that the copy of Passporter’s Disney Cruise Line 2010 which I ordered months ago had finally arrived. On the whole, I was really impressed with the book-it blew the Birnbaum’s guide out of the water. I have to admit I’m a touch confused-I’ve read in several places that you can carry-on a cooler, but the book says you can’t. I, for one, have been planning on bringing a cooler tote filled with my rum runners, and plenty of Cokes and water from the Hess near the Swan with me. Or, I may just bring along a bottle to fill up on Deck 9 with Coke. Foodwise, the fact that there are vegetarian options on the 24-hour room service menu pleases me. I also look forward to trying out Palo. I was somewhat disappointed to read that “it can be more difficult to order a special dish or variant ,” as opposed to setting things up ahead of time. I’m hoping that telling them ahead of time I’m a vegetarian will help matters.
The spa sounds like a great adults-only retreat, but too spendy for my blood. I think I may try out the tropical rainforest room (the $15 day pass sounds much kinder to the shipboard account). You all know how much I love my pins, so I was thrilled to hear that they have daily pin-trading, as well as a “featured pin of the day.” My eyes will be peeled for dolphins as we leave a port. Being a Grade A worry wart, I’m planning on picking up some Safe Sea to keep me safe from jellyfish and the like. Looking over people’s reviews of the various Naussau port excursions, I’m thinking I may just do some self-guided wandering around Naussau.
I really appreciated how much information is available in the book which is geared to adult Disney Cruisers. It is well integrated and does not feel like an after thought.
One little thing that annoyed me was that unlike the Disney World edition, the non-Deluxe vision of the Passporter is just a paperback book-missing the pockets I love in the WDW Passporter. A good deal of this guidebook is focused on Disney’s specialty cruises and the Dream, kind of logical but consider yourself forewarned. Also, I was mildly amused by the fact that their packing list includes “more film than you think you’ll need.”
