It is my understanding that even when the cabins are split into groups that we still have the option of giving to everyone

Ok, tx!!!

 

[Susiesark]

Sorry, I feel a little responsible, saying that if we became 2 groups I'd like to be on both lists. I also ordered supplies and purchased items, and I know I have enough for the kids in the group but the adult gifts might be slightly different. FILMGUY, I'll add your kids to my list. And I agree that we should have a FINAL date and stick to it, at some point. We can't keep adding up until cruise time.

 

[krisgils33]

Thank you!!

Did Filmguy post his family/cabin?...I can't find it. I had already added the previous two cabins.

I don't think there is going to be a good answer to this but if we say right now, as of today, for the very last time

THE FE EXCHANGE FOR AUGUST 25 IS CLOSED
I think everyone will be happy. If you have finished your gifts before we added the last 3 cabins then just leave them out.

SO it is over, no more add ons, we will say no if anyone asks

 

[Susiesark]

OOPS, I forgot to mention (please don't hate me!) but I think we are adding my 21 year old son to our cabin. My son just graduated as a firefighter, out of state, and I'm hoping we can work it out financially so he can join us. But, please, do not feel obligated in any way, to give him something. We don't expect it, and he won't expect it. It's a treat for us to have him travel with us.

I can see by reading all of today's comments, that we are all here to share in the fun, and I can tell that we have a really sweet, caring group, and I just want to say THANK YOU!

Lynn,


I have the list at 37 cabins/families. No?

I only counted families as some are split into 2 or more cabins. In my book, I have one gift for family and one for each kid. Hence, not individually cabin counting. Sorry, the accounting in me always likes numbers!

Let us know if he will be joining us. Congrats to him! My family has quite a few members in our local firehouse, so I commend his hard work to become one and the risks he will now be subject to. Since he is of legal US drinking age, he may get a FE to toast with.

I'm waiting for a final FINAL list now. I don't want to keep wasting paper and ink to print.

A part of me is smiling and thanking Filmguy. 3 pages in one day has got to be a new record for this thread.

 

[Filmguy]

Thanks for including us we are Moi my DW , and Sarah aged 5 and Erin 7 (Although she will be a few days away from 8 by cruise date) Our cabin # is 10592

Yeah, I know how you feel. I am on round 3 of printing, I think. It is that organized accountant in me that keeps wanting to have a final be all, end all. I guess the only missing info I have (other than our yet to be assigned cabin numbers) is:
Philly's son Aiden's age, and Filmguy's family info. With that, I hope to have to print only one more time.

It is great to see so many 8 year old girls and the many 10 year old boys. My DD is already crafting girl things. She is really excited to share.

Haha, thanks! When we were on the DCL Mexican cruise, they didn't seem to care what your age is, the beer was flowing. He even did the Martini Mixology on the ship and no one asked questions. He was sponsored to go to the academy in Arkansas and we are in SoCal. My husband surprised me last week by flying him home. Opened the front door and there he was!

Yeah, waiting on final number. Also, are we splitting into two groups or staying as one?! Can't believe we are into July. Not too much longer! Of course, don't want to wish away the summer, as the day after we get back from Florida (staying after cruise) DS will start school. But can't wait for our first cruise!!!

Welcome! My DD is the only no h Sara. See you are from the Jersey shore. I used to go to Ocean City. Many times as I had family there. Many from my work live off of 42.

Could you kindly tell us what characters or themes your DDs would say they like.

 

[Trinity524]

I signed up for cruise alerts and I got a text today saying it's time to start making reservations... LOL!!! Oh well! At least I have you guys to keep me up to date on what to do when!

How very cool! On graduation and surprise!!!

Can someone please check my math?
I have 36 families, 23 boys, 34 girls (including up to age 21).

 

[My4PhillyGirls]

My youngest DD's math is 37 families, 59 children (36 girls & 23 boys)and 73 Adults

She is in charge of the FE's for our family

Even though the DIS group will be separated into 2 groups, we will be sharing with all 37 families

I have the same number of kids, but thought 35 families, and 134 people overall.

Either way, we are sharing with everyone too!

With Filmguy's family, there are 2 more girls, so I have 36 girls. My total number before was off by 1, as 2 adults in Filmguy's family. I have to recount families, as I don't have my list with me right now.
