Travel Guide Updates for PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line 2008

(2008/sixth edition, released March 15, 2008 - More Book Information)

Reminder: These updates do not include every new thing about the Disney Cruise Line as that would require an entirely new book to explain (and, yes, we will have a 2009 edition released in January 2009)! Instead, this chart only lists the pages in PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line 2008 that would be out-of-date or incorrect without this information.

Tip: Do you have some news or an update that is not in this list? Let us know! If we use and publish it, we will send you a free thank-you gift! Become a PassPorter Reporter at http://www.passporter.com/report.asp

71The Disney Cruise Line has announced plans to stay at Port Canaveral through 2023. The two new ships, due in 2011 and 2012 will use Port Canaveral as their home port at least through 2014. (No word in where or whether the Magic and Wonder will go once the new ships arrive.) As part of the agreement and in order to accommodate the new ships, which are significantly larger than the Magic and Wonder, the Canaveral Port Authority will be making upgrades to the Disney Cruise Line terminal. The enhancements will include extending the dock, enhancing the terminal building, and constructing a multi-level parking garage.

152The Disney Cruise Line has joined several other major lines by announcing updated smoking regulations for its ships. Starting Saturday, April 19 on the Wonder, and Sunday, April 20 on the Magic, the new policy extends the no-smoking policy to every indoor area, including the clubs in the adult entertainment districts on Deck 3 forward (Diversions, Cadillac Lounge, Beat Street, etc.). Smoking is still allowed on guests' private verandahs. The outdoor smoking areas have been moved from port to starboard. Those are the deck 4 promenade, and outdoor areas on decks 9 and 10. The comfy smoking area immediately outside the entrance to the Cove Cafe on Deck 9 forward has been moved to the opposite side of the deck, as it was on the port side. As always, smoking is not allowed anywhere near the Mickey Pool.
