I think that sound fun!
I have been meaning to ask... since I am somewhat a newbie, what does FE mean?
Fish Extender. Outside your stateroom is a metal fish on the wall - it is there to hold your "mail" - reminders about spa appointments
, invitations to special events
, your onboard account statements
, things like that. A fish extender hangs from the fish, and has pockets for the occupants of the stateroom. Those of us who participate in the FE agree to bring a gift for each other participant (either one gift per room, one per family, one per person; depending on the "rules" of your group or personal preference). Then throughout your cruise, you deliver your gifts to the other FE rooms - and find gifts that they have left for you in yours! It's a fun way to add to the excitement of your cruise - but completely optional.
The fish extenders themselves can be homemade, bought, fancy or simple. Some people make their own, some buy them from sellers on etsy or ebay - some even just use a simple tote hanging from the fish. There's no right or wrong way to make one, just like there's no right or wrong way to choose the gifts you give. Every FE is special, and every gift is appreciated.
The FAQ sticky thread has links to several threads all about FE.
