Hi all,

Our family is also going on this cruise, and I was wondering about the fish extneder game. Can anyone provide me with some game rules and where to sign up if we decide to participate?

Thanks!!

Hi Adriana, welcome aboard our cruise!

The F/E list has been finalized and there will be no more entries. Some people have already finished purchasing/making their gifts... sorry

To answer your question about the rules, generally you buy or make a gift for the people that participate in the F/E exchange and they do the same for you. Usually you have a specific day of your cruise to pass your gifts out. You would sign up on your cruise thread with whoever is organizing the exchange. There has to be a cut off date so that we can have a head count because some people order, make or buy gifts ahead of time.

Welcome aboard!!! As Hoppin said, the cut off for the FE game is over, but someone earlier made a great suggestion to someone else who missed the cutoff, which is you can buy some little gifts and leave them in your Fish Extender and tell your kids they are from "Mickey"!!

If you don't know what a fish extender is, you can scroll up to see a few examples of ones we have made ourselves. You can also order them from etsy or ebay but it may be too late at this point. To be honest, a simple tote bag or shoe holder would do the trick.

Looks really good! I was paranoid because my pockets don't lay flat ... but it looks like none of the pockets really stay flat! So I'm starting to feel better about mine!

Welcome. If you see past posts, I personalized some pages and journals for people let me know if you would like one. How old are your kids?

Welcome. If you see past posts, I personalized some pages and journals for people let me know if you would like one. I'll see if I could do something for your kid. I'll PM you.

Welcome! This will be our 5th cruise but first with our 2.5 year old boy. Nice to see another toddler.

Thank you! Yes, there's 11 of us, though I don't have 9 kids! It'll be my in-laws, DH, DS, me, and my DH's two brothers and their families.

That's great! Are you planning any nursery time for your DS? We're considering it, but I'm having trouble thinking through which day/time to book. We don't have much planned yet, which is probably why I'm having trouble deciding.

Ah, okay. LOL. I thought maybe we had a "Jon and Kate Plus 8" situation happening. I'm assuming you have a couple cabins. What deck are you on? We are on Deck 6.

Ok, thanks for the information....I noticed some of you were talking about tequila tastings how I find out information on these? Any other things I should definitely check out and not miss on this cruise? I have two girls ages 2.5 & 5, and they will be in full princess gear!

WHen you board check your Navigator for the day and they will be listed there. The plan for the meet is the first one listed for Sunday.

DW has to finish organizing all the stuff to pack, I have to find a dog sitter, have to put the mail on vacation hold plus other stuff.... 12 days seems like enough time, but with our regular duties in life.. it will fly by!
But I know we will be ok
I think we will start the tequila tasting now!

Did Mindy say that the tequila tastings have been running on Mondays? My question is if we need to purchase a seat/reservation at the tasting ahead of time, i.e. when we board? Do they have limited seating and do they sell out?

I know I read one trip report where several people who paid for a seat at the tequila tasting didn't show up, so the people who were there got to, ahem, empty the no-shows' glasses.
