Hi all

Sign us up for the Fish Extenders too I was iffy on it, but due to the big snowstorm here today, I just hung out at home and wound up starting my fish extender!

We also do not have a cabin number yet (the GTY thing), but will post it when I know - or tell you all at meet.

Wish we could attend the pre-cruise meet, but alas, our flight does not get in till the day of. Flight booked thru DCL, and won't know exactly when for another few weeks.

Snow and ice are getting SO old! I need some warm Carribean sun! (Its 17 degrees here right now!)

==================================================================

Hi! We just booked a cabin on this cruise. Myself, DH, DD9, DD turning 7 on the cruise, DS3. We rebooked when we were on the 3 night Wonder. We can't wait to go again! Who else is going?

Kim

We are in! I started this thread months ago I guess it just sailed away!
We are from Virginia. This will be our fourth cruise. Myself 36 My wife 35 and My daughter 6.

 

[dmi188]

I may do the fish extenders, if someone can tell me how to make them. Any EASY instructions? I haven't sewed in years, literally!

Looks like so far we have a lot of people on 7 aft, pretty close to us. In fact, sunshine state kim's kids are our neighbors, it appears.

We have never done fish extenders before...may have to try to sew one, too but not sure I will be able to - have to check with my friend who has a sewing machine How do these work? Do we all put stuff in them everyday or do we have a specific day/time given to us? Thanks!

The days are flying by now...March will be a long month with no school breaks for us (we just had the last week off) so this will help the month go faster for the kids - having out countdown chart and they have been crossing off the days!


I have to look back in this thread but we have set a time to meet on the ship, right? Thanks!

 

[FIREFIGHTERMICKEY]

What happened to the thread, I have not seen anyone post in a while.

 

[metzfan64]

I know we are meeting above the Goofy pool, but where exactly?

 

[NenaCruise]

Deck 10 above the Goofy Pool I beleive.

 

[NJMomma]

Hi NJMomma. Do you have a pattern for the fish extenders? I still need to make them!

Kim

No pattern, I am winging it. I don't sew that well and don't have a sewing machine, but I am still trying I am using these guidelines I found searching the web (in fact I think it's from this site):

If you are making one here are the measurements. The overall hanging length is 32'' . The finished fabric length is approx. 26" . It is 8" wide. The dowel is a 1/2" dowel 10'' long. There is a rod pocket at the top for the dowel to slide through. The hanging cord is aprox. 13'' long and there are holes drilled through the dowel for the cord to be threaded and knotted. Use a wire tie or something else to tie the Fish extender to the fish in order to keep it attached.

Wish me luck, I need it!

 

[dmi188]

Okay, I have had snow days (no school....hooray) for the past 2 days. Here is my attempt at a no sew fish extender. It still needs a cord or ribbon at the top to attatch to the fish. I used a very stiff felt for the back, soft felt for the pockets, and iron on transfers for the pics. The pockets are hot glued on with several lines of glue per side. Picture is a bit dark, sorry.

 

[NenaCruise]

That is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dmi188]

Thanks! Wasn't too hard. Just so nothing heavy goes in it, it should hold.

 

[NenaCruise]

Its almost time...I can feel it....I'm just not looking forward tot he afterwards you know...especially that it takes me a while to save up for the next one. My son wants to go on Freedom of the Seas but I'd rather do Disney next year too.....We'll see!
