99 days!

Welcome, this board is a bit slow, but hoping as we are inching closer, that will change. I will have an 11 year old onboard too, along with a 9 year old, both girls, although I think my 11 year old is going to end up in the 10 and under club.

Thanks! The 4/10 thread on cruisecritic.com is pretty slow as well, but that's ok!

Just booked this cruise onboard. I will be traveling with my then 6 yr old dd. Book 7689... the weird inside cabins located at the back of the ship

We are just around the corner from you!

Where did everyone go?

Oh no....I'm a thread killer.

 

[scootch]

I'm still here. This is just an incredibly slow board. I initially was going on the 4/17 sailing and that board is really hopping! We hit the 90 day mark here this weekend, maybe that will bring us some more chatters. or maybe we will have the ship to ourselves .

How many of us are on this cruise and how many in the FE?

 

[kmccoy]

There are 4 of us going, Me, Mom, DD9 (going to turn 10 on cruise) and DD5. Hoping to get added to FE, but haven't heard back about how to get involved.

We are passing. Since daddy isn't cruising, last time it just took up too much luggage.

If we drive, I can take some extra stuff for you.

I do need some FE 101. I have read many threads, but I still don't quite understand.

1. Are you supposed to have one pocket per person in the cabin?
2. Do you leave things in your own FE for people who come by?

Here is how ours worked last time. Someone organizes it. Anyone who wants on the FE list pm's that person their room number and the names(or at least male/female) and ages. The organizer then gives everyone a list of families and room numbers. If room numbers changed, they usually would tell us at the meet, we meet at the pool at 3pm. We had about 14 families. I made CD's of disney park movies for the adults and then got stuff like nail polish for the girls and buzz lightyear activity book for the boys, ect... depending on age. Many people also like to put where they are from a bit into their gift, so I added Steeler's pencils(we cruised in Nov 09). One family gave scratch offs from minnesota and then if you won, they just reimbursed you and took the card back(although we won and never saw them again since it was only a 3 day cruise). We got some stuff for pirate night too. You can leave about anything. The delivery of gifts works like this.... whenever you have time, you just go and deliver your gift to the various staterooms. It is nice that everyone didn't do it all at once, it seemed like every time we were coming back to our room there were goodies waiting for us. It is also fun delivery the stuff, it helped us learn our way around the ship. So we did a few each day. Hope that helps some.

I think I understand it all, thank you!! I bought a few things last night and working on more ideas.

Now that we are in the 100- countdown I need to get everyone onto the spreadsheet. I also want to publicly show the tenative template for what I did complete for the shirts. I am open to any criticism, or ideas, but I put something together that is very nice to look at, and took a lot of time to do. Everyone email me at JMarsden92@comcast.Net, and I will get you access to the spreadsheet. Make sure to tell me what cruise it is for, as I am heading 2 cruises things... Thanks all.

I have known about this cruise/disney trip for over a year, but I just surprised my girls on Christmas. It is nice to share my excitement with them finally. Can't wait.

My mom passed this past April. It is sure tough losing your mom.

Silver Castaway Cay members get to make my shore excurisions tomorrow night(after midnight). We never made any excursion reservations when we sailed last time, so I am excited to even just peek at the site. I am going to book Blue Lagoon Sea Lion for this leg of my B2B if I can get the early time slow.

Anyone know of any onboard wine or beer tastings? Thanks.

We're really excited about this cruise! DH and DS (6) are coming and it's the first cruise for DS & me. I just discovered this board a few minutes ago so any advice for good newbie threads would be appreciated. Will pass my email on for the FE and Yankee Exchange thing; sounds fun. Can't wait to meet new friends on the Dream!
