Honestly? At this point? As disappointing as the package is, if it wasn't for the booklet, I wouldn't really care at all. And I am so into swag!Our trip leaves on June 5 and we received the boxes somewhere around May 5 - 7. Very underwhelmed this time in the contents.
Yeah for a trip like yours the booklet is very important. For London/Paris I did not really learn much more than what was on-line. Interestingly the booklet had the trip's name "Cities of Knights and Lights" so they may be switching back to names as previously reported. I love SWAG too and this was a big change from the first two trips.Honestly? At this point? As disappointing as the package is, if it wasn't for the booklet, I wouldn't really care at all.

So ABD finally has a Tracking number for my box -- should arrive *Wednesday* by End of day!! Geez!
Sayhello
That sounds really disappointing. What a bummer.I received my box today and it is lame. I'm not sure what the drawstring bag is for -- it is much smaller than the one we received in previous years that we used for laundry. The gray (makeup?) bag is not me at all.
Honestly the nicest thing in our box was the little book from AMA Waterways detailing each city / port we will be visiting. It's a perfect size for traveling and provides nice details about each stop.
I really hope this isn't a sign of the things to come from ABD. At this rate next year it will be the Adventure Handbook and a mint lol.

Yeah the little drawstring bags are confusing, the only thing that I can think to use them for are as shoe bags possibly. The zipper bag would be good for holding chargers etc, but I already have something for that.
I suppose I should feel jealous, because I still haven't gotten mine yet, but I can't work myself up enough over it to be jealous!My boxes just arrived--10 days before we are flying out. Wow, what a huge disappointment. The boxes are tiny, and as others have described, the goodies are worth maybe $5-10. I'm not quite sure why they bothered. The biggest disappointment though is the book--there is nothing personalized in it except for the names. Our air information and pick ups aren't in there at all. So now, I get to call to make sure it's all taken care of. Sigh. There is no reason they couldn't have sent this booklet MONTHS ago, and indeed they should have. The first page talks about passport/visa requirements. Not very helpful 10 days before I leave for my trip, LOL. For as much as ABD is charging for this trip, I expect more. They need to pick up the pace, big time!
Lol, believe me. Nothing to be jealous over.I suppose I should feel jealous, because I still haven't gotten mine yet, but I can't work myself up enough over it to be jealous!
