10/17/2010 Wonder Cruise

[lornak]

Ok stupid question. I emailed Lornak with my info, as well as what's listed here in the thread. I'm assuming I will recieve a list of others who are participating. Do we give to everyone person on the list? Or just exchange with certain families?

BealsRwe - Those gifts are fantastic. But I really don't have the time, patience and skill to do those types of things. I would have to start a year out for me to accomplish that.

There are no stupid questions!!!

As the cruise date gets closer we will "close" our FE list and then I will put together a full list of everyone who is participating. I will send out an update soon with the closing date as well as where to send staterooms numbers (we will need those for delivery!). So yes---you will eventually have a list of everyone that is participating and where they are staying on the ship!

As for the gifts, it is totally up to you. You can do one gift per stateroom or a gift for everyone. There really is no right or wrong way to do it! But you will do a gift (or gifts) for everyone on the list---not just one family. It is just supposed to be fun so please don't feel any pressure! I agree, BealsRwe's gifts are AWESOME!!! But homemade gifts are not required!! For some ideas you can check the link of page 4.....

Thanks Lornak. Thanks for the info. Even as a Sr. Computer Geek, I should have known to go back in the thread. I see you've updated the list. I'm surprise how many are from the south. Also, sorry to see your from MN. We are Packer shareholders. . I guess I didn't state what we are doing after the cruise. We are staying at All Stars again, and doing Epcot the next day, and a competitor (Harry Potter) the day after that. I look forward to being in touch. And my DD is excited that there will be many tweens around her age.

Hopefully the Vikings and Packers fans can peacefully share the ship!!

I'll update your FE listing....

Well, that's great! I'm glad you decided to join us!! Please PM me if there is any additional information you would like listed on the FE summary (names, hometown, pre/post cruise plans, etc).

Hi Lorna, my daughter would love to exchange emails with your girls. Unfortunately as I haven't made enough posts yet I cant PM you!! If you PM me your details that would be great. I've been having lots of fun this week picking out some unusual gifts for the FE exchange - now my big stress is getting my head round the whole door decoration thing

Hey ScottishMummyof2, my daughter would also love an international penpal. We also have given her a Facebook account, which I monitor very very closely. If it's ok with you and your daughter, I can PM you Christina's email.

 

[ScottishMummyof2]

Hi Selena, yes Bethany would be happy to have more penpals She isn't into facebook yet but if you PM me Christina's details she will get in touch with her. I think it would be lovely for the girls of a similar age to get to know each other pre-cruise!!

 

[ScottishMummyof2]

Hi again Selena, I've just noticed you have a similar number of posts to me and you need 10 to PM - very frustrating!! I will do a few more posts over the next day or so (I'm now a compulsive review reader so a few thanks for great reviews and I'll be there with my post count......)

Want to join the FE for oct. 17, 2010 4 night bahama cruise. Info. anyone??? 1st cruise, can't wait and FE sounds fun!!! Thanks!

Hey ScottishMummyof2. Acutally this is Greg. Selena is handling all the booking and passporter stuff. I'm doing all the computer leg work, cause that's what I do in real life. Didn't know about the post count. I sent Lornak a PM after first joining, and never got an error. But, if we keep talking to each other, then our post count will go up. I really only post here. Every time I go out to the main thread, I end up getting overwhelmed with information and stuff I hadn't thought of. Between real life, fish extenders, door decorations, pirate stuff, it's getting pretty hairy at our house. Oh and I forgot, we have to squeeze in alot of exercising, because I saw the food photo thread, and we are going to pig out.

Hey Lakejewel. Welcome aboard. This is our first cruise as well. It appears that Lornak is the keeper of the list and I'm sure she will answer sometime tonight. But read a couple post above and she states to another what info to post. When it get's closer to the cruise, I believe she will send out info to our emails about other info that's not posted on page 4, such as room #s.

Hi, lakejewel!! Welcome aboard!!! We are happy to have you join us!! If you look back on page 4 you can see a summary of the FE exchange as well as a list of who is participating. I will add your screen name to the list. If you want to have any other information listed, just drop me a PM (or post here) and I will update the list!! The information that most people are sending is: how many adults? how many kids? First names-- ages of kids-- home town--- pre/post cruise plans

You can include as much or as little of the above as you would like!

And yes, as the sailing gets closers I will e-mail out a final list of participants and their stateroom numbers. But that probably won't be until the first week of October!!!

Trust me, I had help! I used a design from the magnet thread and had the images printed on the can coozies and tote bags. It was actually quite quick for me. I had signed up for our cruise 2 months out, and the FE only a month or so from sail date. Thank you for your kind words. Have fun wth your FE!

 

[GratefulParrot]

Just a junk post so I can PM Scottis~mum's DD my daughter's email. Christina is pretty excited about new friends. She's very socialable. Takes after her dad. (of course I say that because I don't think Selena is reading the threads)

 

[Rhode Island Quahog]

Still looking to join in on the FE fun. It will be me (Valerie, 33) and my boyfriend, Joe (31). We are from just outside Boston, Ma.

I haven't been receiving notifications of any disboard posts for over a month...not sure why? anyone else having this issue?

Well, that is frustrating!!!! I have actually signed up to receive notifications on a couple different threads and it has never worked. I finally just gave up and bookmarked all the threads I wanted to watch!

Anyway, I have added your info to the FE list. I am updating the original list on page 4. For now, all of our FE info is there. Glad you are joining us!

Sorry Greg, I like the division of labour in your household. In ours I handle all bookings (including pre and post cruise ADR's and accommodaton!), planning, tickets, computer stuff and when the Cruise Passporter finally arrives I'll do that too!! I debrief Ross every so often but I think this memory reached capacity a long time ago .......

Hey, I think my post count will be at 10 now!! Thanks for the PM Greg, Bethany will email Christina soon

I know what you mean, I think I need to quit the main thread *** there is just too much - and good grief I need to add "pirate stuff" on to my list, hopefully that just means bringing themed attire and not that we bring stuff to make our own pirate ship while on board
