squeeeeeeeel! i am so excited we told my 8yr old last night since some items are arriving for the Fe gifts ( i was not blessed with the crafty gene which is good for most of you not so good for the MEN! ) well actually i'm sure you will all appreciate the thought


I was thinking about the issue with room numbers, maybe we should arrange a meet up on day 1? or a quick sign up at some ones room? or a white board on a door with a list perhaps?

Saw this message and checked right away - cruise docs! It is, indeed, becoming real.

I'm hoping more people send me their stateroom numbers soon. We are still waiting for our cruise docs. Send me a PM asap.

I don't know if people have noticed, but our cruise has basically sold out. It shows now availability as of today.

So I figure the chances of an upgrade at port have basically dropped to zero.

Could be. I looked Sunday and Veranda rooms were available for double what I paid. Pixie dust could still happen. Inside rooms are easier to sell and sometimes marketed through 3rd parties such as Expedia if the ship isn't full.
DCL will upgrade to free up lower priced cabins.

I've seen it bouncing from no availability, to 4B availability today and yesterday. No inside or oceanviews are shown on DCL or Expedia.

So yes, they might have one or two left at the port for upgrades, but it looks to me like a real longshot.

[perezpirates]

Did you all make or buy your FE's ????

 

[mgmcpa]

We bought ours on ebay ... turned out really cute!

 

[mgmcpa]

On the google list some people are listed as "S" instead of Male or Female, what does that mean?

I'm finishing up my FE's this week, so hoping for some clarity on those if we have it.

We just booked to go on this cruise along with 3 other families. We have 2 adults and 2 children (both boys ages 5 and 2). So excited! I talked to another family that just went on this cruise (sailing from Vancouver) and they had a blast! Is this the board to talk about exchanges (their kids loved getting gifts in their fish extenders!).

May I have the first names of the people in your stateroom and your room number for the FE list? Please let me know if you are no longer interested in participating.
