The tshirts will be awesome- I think we discussed this way back on our first thread, but cant remember if we reached a decision or if so, what it was. Didnt we vote on one of the designs as "the official one" to be used? So for the tshirt, shouldnt we all do the same? I love all the designs and since so many of you creative designers offered to let us use them for door magnets, that is great, but personally I like the idea of "unity" and us having matching tshirts to wear around the ship and be recognized, same with the bracelets, lanyards, etc. IMO it sort of defeats the purpose if we all have different shirt designs?
We did agree on a design and I think they should all be the same. As for the lanyards and bracelets - I am not sure we actually chose a saying or if we are using the one on the design
Lanyards sound great! I dont think I'd like to be in the FE group to do it since I like making some creative gifts, but I sure am interested in getting one! Is there a site where they can be designed and then ordered on demand individually like the tshirts or is there not such a thing for this?
Unfortunately, to get a price break, they are not available individually - that being said - I will look and see if I can find something because it would be easier
The PJ breakfast sounds like a great idea to me! Sounds fun!
We did have fun! We just need to pick one of the sea days!
I agree- I love making creative gifts and going all over the ship, but the most I've ever had was 20 staterooms. I'm thinking 100 would be very time consuming, expensive and space issues- even if we shipped the stuff down to FL, seems like it would be difficult to carry the boxes on board along with wheeling our checked luggage, carryons, and of course rolling coolers of adult beverages ; )
Are we going to wait and see the final numbers and decide if we are splitting up into groups or are we definitely doing all staterooms? I think groups are a great idea if we have a large size, but my only reservation is that I would want to make sure that everyone gets some of the "signifcant" gifts- ie- door magnets, lanyards, bracelets, etc if those are decided that they will be FE groups doing them.
You just reminded me of a question I was going to ask about the alcohol. Normally, I bring a soft rolling cooler with a couple of bottles of vodka and rum for the length of the cruise, purchased at a liquor store in FL on the way to the port. But, I was wondering, do any of you only bring on a small amount, say for the first couple days, and then stock up on cheaper liquor in Caribbean ports? I remember getting a large bottle of Bacardi for 10 bucks in St. Thomas this year. I was thinking, why should I spend $$$$ on enough liquor to last over 2 weeks in the US liquor store, if I can buy the same stuff for much less in our first port, Aruba? I havent been to Aruba but I'm assuming they have similar prices to other islands? Has anyone done this before? To me it sounds like a no brainer, but I dont know if they have restrictions on amounts, or in certain ports, or whatever- I wouldnt want to be caught on board without enough liquor for my whole trip if buying on the island didnt work out for one reason or another, so I was curious what the rest of you think if you have any experience with this?
