Cabin #7120
Names of family members: Josh (DH), Kim (that's me), JJ (DS - please note, NO periods between the J's in his name), and Caden (DS)
Age and Gender of Children? JJ - boy/8 at cruise time; Caden - boy/5 at cruise time
Any Food Allergies? Nope
Everyone's Favorite Character? Whose not to love? Caden is especially fond of Mickey. In a more non-traditional sense, Phineas and Ferb are a hit at our house, as is Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
Celebrating anything on this cruise? Not officially - although DH will be turning 40 that summer (shhhhh...don't tell him I told you!)


Also, for those of you with experience, how do you get all of your FE gifts to the port? I have been looking at ideas and some of them are quite extensive. I might need a whole bag to haul gifts and since we are flying that means more $$$. Any tips? I want to have great gifts that everyone will love without breaking the bank (I have seen some amazing ideas - I will really have to channel my inner-craftiness)!

THANKS...counting the days!

I will create a Facebook group for this cruise, but first I need at least 1 person to add to the group. So someone from this thread please friend me on Facebook. Shannon Redwing Charlotte NC same pic as on here. My last cruise (that we just disembarked this morning!) had a FB group and it was so fun putting faces to names.

 

[heyshanny]

Hey Everybody!

So excited to be on this cruise! Please add us to the FE list It will be me- Laura (Ursula), DH- Jeff (Mr. Incredible, B-day 2/8), DD- Heather(25, Belle), DS (23, Wall-E). We'll be in room 8094. Also traveling with my parents and possibly more family and friends.

This will be our kids' first cruise. Aren't we just horrible parents?! But Jeff and I have sailed this itinerary on the Magic in 2011. This will be our first cruise on the new ship. We are hoping to get the accessible Cabana at CC since my mom is disabled and the last time we went they absolutely loved it. With the larger ship and more passengers I'm worried about being able to get it booked when I am able.

Costa Maya is a new port, last time we went to Key West instead. Is Costa Maya tendered? What are your favorite excursions at that port?

Wow. Seems like we are might have alot of Canadians on board. I wonder if that has anything to do with our weather

You can add me the Canadian list

I just got off the Eastern Cruise on the Fantasy on the 2nd of Feb! Loved it! I now know why people say once you cruise you're addicted!

Let the planning and the count down begin!

 

[TwilightGoddess]

What does FE stand for? Also, what are the guidelines rules, etc... I really didn't understand this on the last cruise. Can someone give me more info please? thank you

A fish extender is hanging piece of fabric that has a pocket for each person in your stateroom. It hags from the fish outside of your stateroom. A couple of moths we will close the FE list and divide into smaller groups if needed. Once that is done you then either make or buy small gifts around a few dollars. You then take them and put them in the FE of the people on your list. It is so much fun.

LOL meet your new stalker I'm in Toronto, where are you from? What cabin were you in? What was your favourite part of the cruise? Aside from a little me time in the adult pool, I LOVE Castaway Cay!!!!!!!

How many people in a group? and is there a budget set? I will consider this, what types of things to people include in the FE? Thank you for taking the time to reply

Is anyone else here a scrapbooker?

It all depends on how many sign up. We spent roughly $2 a person.

I'm in Oshawa. I'll be easy stalking.

We were in stateroom 10610. We are in the same on this trip.

I also loved Castaway! I loved the 2 for 1 cocktails at Castaway just as much. I fall asleep every night dreaming I am still there.

LOL Oh my and I live in the East end too! Is it more "wavy" the higher you go?

I didn't have cocktails this time but planning on it for the next! I could spend a week there if they'd let me! lol Too bad they didn't have a resort there!

We just returned home last night from a really great Disney vacation that included our 3rd DCL cruise (on the Dream to the Bahamas) and 5 days at Disney World. We rebooked for this cruise while onboard. My parents will be joining us and I can't wait to do a new itinerary on the newest boat.

Our last group had a really fun meet up group that was very active on Facebook. I really look forward to getting to know this group and meeting on the cruise! Only 351 days!

Yeah and welcome! my last thread wasn't very active I didn't get to meet anyone as on our get together day there was another big event planned by the cruise. I believe there is a fb group as well, I'm not sure how active it is though, I still need to join over there I hope to get to know everyone better here as well before our sail date!
