GOOD Morning, happy cruisers!
OK. In simple terms, the master list has everyone. The smaller lists are a breakdown of 'everyone' such that each list has roughly the same number of 'people' on it. Some people are on more than one list because they wish to give to 'everyone'.
Pam, you can BRING your FE stuff and put it in as many FE as you wish to. You can even "hang out" your FE if you wish but your expectations for receiving should be low. I am bringing as many fe gifts as I can accomplish, but not on any list to receive. We were SO overwhelmed with what we received from the Hawaii cruise, I just opted not to.
As I wrote in my original post #3134, I have no expectations at all since I missed the list cutoff. I am, however, a firm believer in:
"Tis Better to Give than to Receive".
"God loves a cheerful Giver".
"Generousity has its own Rewards".
etc.etc.
I enjoy the "Adventure of the Fish Extender" : Roaming the corridors, searching out rooms, sneakily stuffing suprises in the pockets, then ducking away so no one spots you.

Sort of like a reverse Scavenger Hunt.
And, I get the added bonus of seeing the many creative types of Fish Extenders used; along with some gawking at all the decorated doors. On a couple of my past cruises (this is #4) we had door contests.

Without an assigned list, I can create my own!
If Nate Tucker and I cannot attract any more newcomers I have 72 other cabins to pick from/give to. Now, how to decide whom to choose? ?
Those cabins with children, or foreign visitors (hello to Canada and the Netherlands

), maybe those couples with anniversaries (40 years), people with birthdays, ... decisions, decisions.
It will be a surprise...for them and me.
