Fish Extender List for 2.0 - Official Thread CLOSED ***final list posted***

[shellyminnie]

If you still have room for another, I'd love to join in!

Sure, just send me a PM with your email please.

Did you get my PM? Or am I "bitter, party of 1, your table is ready"?

PM sent!!

I am sharing a stateroom with a "roomie". We go home to different homes in different states.

We are both participating in the fish extender exchange, maybe in a group, maybe individually.

Will we each get a gift, or is it one per staterom?

You should each get a gift. You will be listed separately on the list, but with the same room.

Thank you.

The room list made it really easy to spot roomies

I was hoping to do an international group, anyone wanna come in? If not I hope it won't be too late to join a group? How far in advance did the group 'close'? I don't wanna leave it too late

I think an international (EU even) group would be great! Too bad I'm domestic!

I know some groups are forming now, but there isn't a rush. There is still 18 months (from tomorrow) before we sail.

A group should 'close' once it is full. In other words, it should be based on number of people in a group, not over a certain time period.

It is my opinion that any more than a dozen participants may get to be too many. You should find the number of people that you feel works best for you. There were a couple of groups of two or three on PCC 1.0, and they worked smashingly.

I know the primer is coming, but with all this talk about groups- I have a question...

How does a group work?
Do you just give gifts to the people in your group?
Or does the group come up with one gift from that group and you still give it to all 200+ staterooms? But maybe each member of the group takes a portion of the total for distribution?

Or is it something else entirely?

That is what a group is about. Pooling your talent/resources/abilities to give a gift to all Fish Extender Participants. Splitting the delivery is a good idea, as it cuts down on leg work that everyone must do running all over the ship.

Sound like fun, but I have never done been on a cruise or done fish extenders before. Us newbies need a little help here.

Just booked today - i'm a newbie too. Can't wait though, what better way to take my first cruise than with the DIS.
I will need major help with this fish extender extravaganza - just found out what the fish thingy is...

We had a group of 12. We each put in the same amount and ordered enough gifts for all the participants and a few extras for the podcast team. I tried to split up the deliveries according to each person's room location so they didn't have to go all over the ship. Each person delivered to about 8 rooms. Easy peasy.

Thanks- that's a great explanation- and sounds like fun.
(I'll go back to waiting mode now.... watching for the FE 101 Primer!)

 

[shellyminnie]

I think (depending upon agreement and what we order) our group is full!!

Again, depending upon what we order, we might open it again, but I don't know yet!!

 

[froggy5657]

Can I join someone's group? I really don't care what group it is, but I had a heck of a time making and delivering all of my FE's

 

[k5jm]

See Post below. Had a duplicate.

If we all chip in, we can hire someone to come on the cruise, stay in a Cat 12 (or 11 with discount and a ship-board credit) and have them do nothing but hand out FE gifts for all of us, so we can enjoy the cruise!!

Anyone game!

If we have 200 rooms and each room pays $8.00 we can pay for the hired help!

200 x $8.00 = $1600.00

 

[DVCsince02]

Or we can take all our stuff there and go "trick or treating" to that room when we have time!

Good one, Jen! Shouldn't you be packing?

 

[DVCsince02]

Ugh!

 

[MomlvsGoofy]

Count me in on a group one! Anyone have room for another in a group? It will be so much fun to deliver all the goodies and see everyones doors. Can't wait!

No way!!! I told that idea to AskTracy as I passed her in the hallway after spending an hour delivering FE gifts. Someone has had too much wine and been spreading my idea around.
