Can someone tell me about the DisMeets? Do a lot of people attend? What are they like? Are they usually on the first day of the cruise? Just wondering what to expect . Thanks for info!!!

DIS meets depend on how active your DIS meet thread has been. Our first cruise was the inaugural western and we had about 5500 posts when we cruised, with about 40 DISers posting. I think about 30 or 35 showed up at the meet. We had shirts made up, and someone brought lime green lanyards with our board names, etc. All through the week, we were meeting and talking to each other. It was awesome, feeling like you really knew people on board.

Our 2nd cruise was on the Wonder, and we only had about 3-4 families post on our meet thread. No one showed up for the meet I set up.

So if you have a very active thread, you'll probably get about 2/3 of the people at the meet. A less active thread might see 1/2 to 1/4 of them show up. It seems to be more likely on the 7 day sailing than the 3-4 day sailings.

Enjoy!

We were on the May 1st magic. Our thread was pretty active and when we had our meet it showed. There were probably 30 of us that actually made the meet. A few others that meant to got hung up doing other things. We held our meet at 3:30 on the first day just before the life boat drill, so this was a pretty hectic time.
