August 10, 2013 Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy

[Embraer]

Just in the nick of time, welcome to the boards and our thread

So we finally have the final count for who is cruising with me! Its me, my mom, my aunt, and my younger cousin. I'm encouraging all of them to go all out for pirate night, but my mom is apprehensive, and my cousin is 12 going on "too old and cool to do anything fun." So I just wanted to take a quick head count, how many of you are dressing up for pirate night?

Sorry, not the answer you wanted to hear, but we won't dress up at all, we have a reservation at Palo that night.

So excited!!!!! Now that school is out, I can start making out FE and gifts. This is my husband and my first cruise and we are over the moon!!! To add to the FE info (stateroom #5050) Phillip's fave characters are Mickey and Baloo. I love Belle, and Mickey and Minnie. This cruise is to celebrate our 21st anniversary, and I can't wait!!!
See you all soon!!!

Got your stateroom number! It won't be long now and we will all be on our way. We have one more week of school and I cannot wait for the holidays.

We would like to be added to the FE list! We are in room 9120.

I am currently not in the FE however have still been considering it. I would have voted for dividing the group into 3 groups. Smaller would make it more manageable
Thanks

Does that mean you are going to be joining the FE group??? I am going to dress up as a pirate, sort of. I have the pants, but I have to figure out the shirt. I haven't decided on what else I might need besides a bandana and possibly a pirate hat. Not sure how much my family will be dressing up though.

So excited!!!!! Now that school is out, I can start making out FE and gifts. This is my husband and my first cruise and we are over the moon!!!

I put down your favorite characters on the spreadsheet. THANKS!

WELCOME ABOARD!! I am so excited. I don't know if you have read the whole thread or not, but this is my first cruise. I am just so excited I can hardly stand it (and the people I work with are counting down with me!)

Did you find us ok on FB? FB is just an extension of this group. Some people can navigate FB better than DISBoards. But we are all ONE big group! I know that Johnsons3 found us!!

Tracy, I hope you join our group! I know Karin has been dealing with the end of the school and has been really busy. BUT I think she will take your vote into consideration.

Karin, it was brought up on FB that our FE group might want to make a Lime Green Mickey Head pin to wear on the ship so we can be recognized. We have paint chips at some of our stores here that we can get, then laminate them and put backings on. There are a few that have said they would pick up extra for anyone on the DISBoards that would like one that might not be able to pick them up because they don't have a store to get them at in their country. What do you think about that idea?

Also, it looks like so far that the vote is to meet at the 3:15 time on the first day. I will let you know what outcome of that poll is.

I am very sorry you are too late for the poll. I have already divided the group by 2.

I am sorry, but the poll was open for nearly a week and I closed it two days before the cut off for a reason. I have already divided the group by 2.
If you still want to join, please do so before midnight MY time (GMT+1)

A revival of the lime green Mickey head. You know they were all the rage a few years ago.
I am sorry, but I don't wear pins, but I might dig up some of our old tags that were to be fixed at camera bags and such.
But I think it would be a nice idea if you made a few extra for the ones of you that cannot get them in their nick of the woods. Ours are just printed out and laminated.

Oh, there is a poll for the meet?
I am glad that most want to do the 3.15 on the first day.

FE participants!​

Just a friendly reminder that sign up for the FE will be closed at midnight tonight MY time (GMT +1)
I have also divided the list into two groups as the poll was a draw. I have been working on the group lists already and will post them by Monday evening or Tuesday.

You are right! Didn't figure in Daylight saving time.

Only 25 more minutes to sign up.

5 hours late, but sign up for the FE is now officially closed.

It has been weeks since I have been on here to read or check up on things. Our 16-year-old daughter and 13-year-old daughter play fastpitch softball, so we have had tournaments every weekend and league play during the week. Spring soccer wrapped up a couple weeks ago, and all four of our kids play soccer--I coach our twin 11-year-old boys' team. I will be SO ready for this cruise and time away from the craziness!
I have a couple questions about the drink of the day...where do we get the glass from? Where do we get the drink from? How much does it cost each day?
Sorry I didn't join in on the vote for how to divide up the FE...like I said, craziness around here.
I will look forward to getting more valuable tips and info in the weeks leading up to our cruise!!

My little cousin who is coming with me plays softball too, and I'm her coach. I know how wild softball season can get!

Drink of the day:
On Embarkation day there will be CMs with trays full of the DOTD. If you choose to buy one, you get to keep the glass (plastic).
You can also order those at the outside bars (don't think the inside ones offer souvenir glasses) or from CMs walking around (esp. at pirate night)
I am not too sure about the price as NO cash or CC is used once on board. You pay for everything with your KTTW, but I think they were around 7 or 8$.

For the FE list. My family has 2 cabins but only 1 will be participating. That cabin is 7685.

Corrected the list.

I was just wondering if you had decided how you were going to divide the group up. Also, will you be including the GTY in the division or are you going to add them once they get the room numbers.
