Don't forget to stop by the Future Cruise Desk while onboard if you even THINK you want to do another Disney Cruise! You get a 10% discount on any cruise you book AND shipboard credit (that's how we are sailing with 200.00 before we even board) AND you get 50% off the downpayment. It's well worth it, because even if you don't know when you want to sail again, you can book a placeholder cruise that is good for 24 months in which you have to pick a date within that time frame.

Right now we are booked on the Westbound Transatlantic for next year, if for some reason the rate ends up cheaper than what we have, we will change to that onboard. If not, we will add on a Panama Canal cruise for 2018 OR a Mediterranean Cruise for 2017 so that it ends up being a Back to Back cruise from the Med to the TA!

We have another Disney Cruise booked for next summer but I'm hoping that will be able to book another one while we're on the cruise maybe 4 the Caribbean or I would love to do a European one!!!

Ugh! I hate hearing that. All our magnets are personalized so I think we should be okay. Think I may skip the trick or treat bucket...I'm assuming there will plenty of candy to be had!

So far we have been lucky as long as everything is personalized...other people not so much. Many have described stolen magnets and some just had their magnets fooled around with and moved all the way down the hall or to another stateroom. The cast members are awesome when they hear of stolen magnets, but the ones they replace yours with are nothing special, just a nice gesture.

Updated List can be found on the first and last page of this thread.
UPDATED 9/8 and 8 Days Until Cut-Off.
ALL PLEASE READ:
We are 8 days out from the cut-off date. Beginning that week (September 12th), I am asking that EVERYONE ON THE LIST re-confirm that they are in fact still interested in the FE! We do have some thread regulars which is awesome but I know we also have people that only check in once in awhile and some that have yet to check back. ANY TIME during that week, a simple "YES I AM STILL INTERESTED "will work! You will need to check in that week anyway to get the final list!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have removed the people we have not heard from and will add them in on a first come first serve basis IF THERE IS SPACE AVAILABLE.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
This list is NOW CLOSED to any additional people wanting to join a FE.

The following people have been moved to the alternate list as they never came back to confirm or re-confirm:
A. @[COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]CSkalski[/COLOR] - 3 adults, 2 kids (8G & 12B)
B. @[COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]wsq_nyu[/COLOR] - 2 adults, 2 kids (5&3)
C. @[COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]sew_obcessed[/COLOR] - 2 adults

Excellent!! Even though we have done this cruise a few times already, it never gets old! Always new things to discover at port or onboard!

He will love it! My husband is already excited about the rainforest showers and he is hoping to book the beer tasting and I think whiskey too! We were going to stay on the ship in Naussau but he wants to hit up the brewery so we may get off to do that one quickly! LOL

Will do! I keep stalking the old navigators waiting for the first Halloween on the High Seas one. So far August 19th is the most recent 3 night posted. If basing it on this one, the FIRST night at 10pm is the Whiskey tasting. They range from 15-20.00 a seminar per person. I just go and hang out with my husband! LOL! I only drink the champagne and wine tasting and he is the spectator then! Hahaha!! It is also the second night at 9:30

Wine Tasting is 3pm on the second night.
Martini is 4pm second night.
Tequila and Margarita is 4pm second night
Cognac is 9:30 second night
Beer is 3:30 on the third night
Champagne is 4pm on the third night

Don't forget that your stateroom will have 2 WAVE phones to keep in touch with the other members of your cabin with AND if you are setting up something to meet with someone in another stateroom, you can message one another as well! Our kids will take 1 phone and we will have the other!

One of our Ports of Call is Naussau!
Today's Question of the Day is:
Do you have any excursions booked or what are your plans for this day?

Our original plan was to stay onboard but now we are going to get off after breakfast and hit up the straw market, Junkanoo Beach and then the brewery before getting back for a late lunch!

My BIG plan for that day if nothing else to to go to Tortuga Rum Cake shop. I LOVE their rum cakes and i think my favorite things there are the variety packs and the gift set of rum cake and a bottle of rum that they use in the making! Last cruise these made great gifts for friends! We loved the pineapple one! (Address is listed below for anyone else who wants to visit.) and we are looking forward to relaxing on the beach and maybe a few other shops!
