Customer Reviews

A good guide for your Disney Cruise

I would recommend this book for anyone new to cruising or new to the Disney Cruise experience. For me, the most valuable section are the recommendations on ports of call, particularly shore excursions. The one downfall a rating for the excursions alongside the comments would be a bit more illuminating. Overall, an excellent resource.

Birnbaum's Disney Cruise Line 2006 Guide

It was so informative and loaded with helpful hints and necessary information to assist in helping plan for SMOOTH SAILING!

Don't set sail without it !!!!!

As a fan & avid user of the Birnbaum books about Disney theme parks, I was delighted to see this version about the Disney Cruise Line. The book is excellent and has outlined every last detail of the DCL experience. I am embarking on my 5th cruise on the Magic in October so much of the info was familiar to me. I can highly recommend it to both returning cruisers and first timers alike. The photos are wonderful and help get you ready for the trip. The only missing piece, I believe, is a diagram of the ship. First timers would find that heplful for getting hamiliar with the layout, locating staterooms, restaurants etc before actually boarding.

I Love Disney

I have been buying Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for 12 years even though we only go to Disney World every 2-4 years. For months before we go, I highlight everything we want to see and do in Disney. It's also great to go back to my old books to see how much has changed. I would highly recommend Birnbaum's Disney Cruise Line book also.

Short on detail - Long on overview

I think that if you buy this book hoping to find every little detail about the cruise, you will be sorely disappointed. This book is a very nice overview for someone thinking about cruising with Disney, or someone who just booked their first DCL cruise. I have been on four Disney cruises, and I still learned something new from the book.
