The Unofficial Guide to the Disney Cruise Line for 2023 is now available with updated information on what cruisers may need to know in order to plan for an upcoming Disney Cruise. The 2023 edition sails in with updates and new information including a significant update on the Disney Wish from Erin Foster along with insight from Len Testa, and Ritchey Halphen.

Some of the highlights in the 2023 edition include:

• Complete coverage and unbiased opinions about the newest ship of the Disney Cruise Line, the Wish, including staterooms, dining, children’s activities, shopping, entertainment, and more
• Analysis of the latest pricing trends
• Details on DCL’s new stateroom classification system

• Updates on onboard COVID-related procedures and other health and safety protocols
• Profiles of new ports of call

Competition in the cruise market is a great win for cruisers. With growing fleets, and destinations, there is an unending number of ships and itineraries to navigate though when planning a cruise vacation. Arguably, Disney’s biggest rival in the cruise market is Royal Caribbean. Matt Hochberg from the RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com returns to shares his unique comparative insight and things to consider when looking at a cruise vacation.

At this time, the cruising policies and procedures remain dynamic in terms of what passengers need to know before, during, and after a cruise. For the most part, we are emerging from a period of sailing in uncharted waters and I think it is safe to say, we entered a period of a new normal. Although, to manage expectations, there are still some ongoing changes you may experience on your next cruise based on the latest happenings. To address this, the authors retained the COVID Tips featuring Wuffo, the Unofficial Guides’ mascot, for the 2023 edition.

Yours truly, my favorite part of the book! I am once again honored to share my insights in a few blurbs throughout the 2023 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. There are plenty of websites and other publications that will rehash the company line. 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 2023 hit bookshelves earlier this month, and is available at your local book stores, as well the usual online retailers such as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million.
