I'm going to take the bull by the horns and run a latecomer fish extender group!
I'm going to run it a little differently than most, considering how close we are to the cruise date. I've done FE groups MANY times and am experienced at all the in's and out's, including the best way to format the list so it's easier to deliver the gifts.
- The MAIN FE list will be closed after 12 cabins have signed up, or at NOON Central Standard Time on Tuesday, JUNE 9. However, I'll start a second (or third -- wishful thinking!) FE list if people are still interested. The last name I add to any list must be posted by NOON CST on THURSDAY, JUNE 11.
- Rather than deal with the forum's rules on documents, I'm just going to print a well-organized list that will be available on my cabin door at 5pm on the day we sail. My family is in cabins 6616 and 6618. (Make note of that on your cruise documents!!!)
If you're still interested in joining a FE group, please copy/paste the section below into your reply, fill it out completely, and I'll respond as soon as you're included. I plan to check this forum at least once a day until noon CST on June 11.
ETA: Although I'm going to have a well-printed list for everyone, I'll also include whatever info you'd like in this thread so you can prepare your gifts! And if I can figure out a way to provide a link to a document, I'll post it so you can have a list asap.

(Obviously, add more people if you need them!)
*The cabin # is really important, but if you don't have one yet, don't fret! I'll make sure there's a place on my door where everyone can see which room you're in and add it to their own list.
You'll need to be at my door around 4:30 on departure day to add your cabin number, or write me a REALLY CLEAR note and leave it at my door by then.
Some of you may be wondering why I used "princesses or pirates" rather than "boy or girl." Rather than try to pigeonhole everyone, I wanted to give the kids/adults a choice, in case someone is making a specific type of FE gift. For instance, I have always preferred pirates, but if I put that I were a 6yo girl, I would get princess stuff. Also, I've noticed over the years that people try to include various Disney characters in their gifts, and if a child is in LOVE with Pooh, maybe they should get a Pooh gift if one is available.
If you participate, PLEASE have an ACTUAL fish extender on your door! There's nothing sadder for me than to be happily passing out FE gifts and see someone who made no effort at making it magical for their OWN family. It doesn't have to be fancy, you don't have to buy one from eBay, you don't have to pull out the sewing machine... I've seen lots of wonderful homemade fish extenders. You can do it!
