I was lucky enough to review the guide, so it came directly from PassPorter. If you ordered from them, it will definitely come quicker, as the bookstores have to wait until their supplies are shipped to their warehouses, then to their stores, etc., etc. (the chain of command!). If ordered from passporter.com, it will come directly from them. Like I said, I'm not sure about the status of the deluxe versions, as mine is a paperback, but they could well be on their way also. Hold tight...they're on the way!
As for the scoop, let me just say this book is awesome. Filled with tips on what not to miss, and how to get those hard to come by ressies. Great pics too! Info on everything, from how to choose a stateroom to what's being served for dinner to shore excursions at all the ports. Best thing about the paperback edition, it is very compact so easy to carry around and pack. And best of all? Makes for great reading!
