Cruise secrets that DCL doesn't tell you

[poohj80]

Also, the earlier you drop off during your cruise, the more likely to get an extra item or two accepted.

My family will be cruising in Oct and I can't wait! This is our second cruise and the tips are going to make it even better than our first one!

There were 3 of us and we had 3 mats and 2 pillowcases done. I think as long as you don't go crazy there won't be any problem. I did have mine in 2 separate ziploc bags as I had Sharpies for the photo mat and fabric markers for the pillowcases (and I put candy in each bag).



No. There can be stuff on them. Our pillowcases were personalized with cruise and date.

Thanks to all who responded I have a T-shirt that my oldest picked out ($3 at Michaels), a pillowcase for my youngest and I bought myself at White Sweatshirt ($3 at Walmart) and I may still throw in a Signiture Frame Mat for the whole family. I also have an assortment of Sharpies and Fabric Markers. Does this sound Good?

Another tip for FE is to find your group early as the groups set a cut off date around 6 weeks before the cruise. Since so many people make homemade items (which may be expensive and/or time consuming) they need to know how many to make. Once the group is formed and items are bought it isn't easy to add people so groups are strict about their cutoff. I hadn't seen mention of this on this post. I haven't looked through the FE post so I thought I would add it in case others come to this board first like me.

So how do you find an FE group for your cruise ... I know of only 2 other families so far on my cruise and we are all thinking of doing an FE exchange but don't know how to register?

I have just come back from our first cruise and asked this, was told no, they have to count them at the end of each day to make sure have same amount back

Oh very SAD I was hoping to get some of the Pirate Night Menus ....

From what I've heard generally it's part of the cruise meet threads here on the boards.

We have asked in the past and have been allowed to keep several Pirate Night menus.

I was reading about people saying to bring in your own mugs/cups with lids etc. to fill at the pop station since the cups are pretty small.
I'm wondering if anyone knows, can you bring them in to the movies etc. instead of having to buy concessions?
Thanks everyone!!
