Fish Extenders?

[drag n' fly]

Do you exchange with the people on your cruise thread or with anyone who has a FE hanging?

Usually people on your cruise thread.

OK here is a picture of my FE.
I was slow in my planning and did it all 2 weeks before the cruise.

Do you give a gift to each member of the family or just one gift per family?

Usually is one gift per stateroom...but it is really up to the person giving the gifts..

 

[plutojudy]

We gave pirate necklaces and gave one for each family member.

on our last cruise we gifted each of the children in our DISthread. some DISers gifted staterooms, and did gifts for the whole family. next time we are planning to make a cd (a fantastic idea used by many wonderful disers) as well as each of the kids in our thread, or any adult (without kids) who takes part. we bought specific age related gifts, but also had a few random gifts we just stuffed in FEs as we passed...pirate stuff....magnets from our hometowns...postcards...

I have settled on 2 gift bags per FE, not all our disers are doing them on our cruise. We have 10 so far. so that's 20 bags!! and still 4 months to add more disers!!! Looking like I need another suitcase just to bring on the ship!! Maybe a hard suitcase so nothing is smooshed? How have you all brought your gifts on board? Also bringing a small treasure chest filled w/goodies for my boys!

Do you know that you can ship things to the ship for your cruise? If you want to do it, call DCL for the correct address and exactly what to put on your label. When you board the ship, your box is waiting in your stateroom! Way easier than packing it up.

Can I do this for the West Coast cruises too? Would sure make my luggage lighter!

Some great ideas on here ......time to make a new one thanks

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

OK, I have 4 1/2 FE's finished and now I can't tell how long the ribbon needs to be to fit over the little fishy guy. Anyone? I don't want it to hang too low but it obviously has to fit over said fishy guy. (I am mailing them complete, so I can't just bring ribbon to the ship.) HELP!

Hi Judy! (We were on her cruise this past December.)

Since our cruise was in December, I got a HUGE Christmas stocking and hung it from our fish extender. You can pretty much hang anything over the fish extender. Here are a couple of pictures of ours:

The kids ALWAYS checked our stocking before going into our stateroom:

DD5 helped me hand out our "goodies". We gave out notepads with magnets on them, pencils, stickers, lollipops in the shape of Texas for the kids, postcard from our home state, candy and some other things I can't remember. Next time, I will keep it simpler and get EVERYONE THE SAME THING . I packed all the gift in our suitcase which worked out, because the empty space going home was filled with souvenirs and alcohol.

Have a magical cruise!

Here is my finished FE. Only about a year early!
Sorry the picture is so big. I'm not sure how to make it smaller.

I've been admiring your fish extender, the embroidery is beautiful. May I ask what kind of machine you have (please don't tell me you hand embroidered them).

 

[Dancing Mickey's]

WOW That is beautiful! Where did you get the mickey font for the embroidery? Just love this!

This is the FE I made for our PC cruise in August. I made 2 one for me and one for my sister in browns. I made it so that I could put a new trip picture in it each time we cruised.
