My favorite part of the book are these blurbs by some guy named Scott! Seriously, I am honored once again to share my insights in a few blurbs throughout the 2024 edition.
The Unofficial Guide is not a brochure for Disney Cruise Line, the guide is set up as a no-nonsense, consumer orientated planning guide based on the authors’ personal cruise experience as fare paying guests. The information and suggestions are what you’d expect to hear from a close friend or family member, not a salesperson.
The Unofficial Guide to Disney Cruise Line 2024 hit bookshelves on December 5th, and is available at your local book stores, as well the usual online retailers such as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million.
I received my copy last week and started reading it. It really is packed with more than previous books. Looking forward to reading about Lighthouse Point and Ft Lauderdale before our cruise there next year. Great info and tips for DCL passengers, no matter if you have one cruise or 20, there is always something new to learn.
I received my copy this week in advance of my first cruise on the Wish. I noted the comment about ordering from restaurants other than the one that you are seated in. How does one “order in advance?”
Usually you speak to your server the night before, and request specific dining requests then, this is especially helpful for those with food sensitivities and allergies, it lets the galley know in advance if there’s going be requests for such things. Cross contamination is a big issue with large food preparation facilities and DCL works very hard to prevent these issues. Just talk to your server and they can provide you with the menu for the next evening’s dining and take any orders for the meals then.
