Jammin' to Jamaica - Aug 30 2014 ~ Fantasy ~ 7-Night Western

[sweetlovin']

If anyone is still looking for airfare or likes travel tips.... lately, I've been liking Airfarewatchdog.com.

Like many other sites they offer fare alerts, but they take it further. The City-to-City Fare Alerts have been very helpful in getting an idea what a "good" or "great" price is this year.

I don't like the search function (I use Kayak), but I love that the site sends me Departure City Fair Alerts, a list of airfares from my airport to various cities.
Who knew I could go to Denver Colorado for $118 RT.

Airfarewatchdog also has Arrival City Fare Alerts ... great if you planning a family reunion

I signed up for their Airfare Insider and saw this fun article on packing I want to share with you: 9 Packing Tips for Lazy People
I like their idea of having laundry baskets to toss items into for pre-packing!

I am on airfare watch dog for a bunch of different places. I love that sight, but I seem to keep missing the deals because I am late or because I am too bust to sit-down and book. I missed 199RT to San Juan TWICE!! I just didn't get to sit down and book in time.

We ended up switching staterooms. We are in 7598 now. Can you update the fish extender list? Thanks

Hello just wondering if you can tell me how to join the FE program for this cruise. Thanks

We'd love to have you join the FE.

I'd be happy to sign you up. We actually have two FE groups. The Donald FE is open (the Mickey FE closed Dec 2013). Just post your names with ages for the kids along with your cabin number(s), if available. Hometown or state is fun info to share too.

Do you have any celebrations planned for this cruise? Have you cruised with DCL before?

Got it - I've updated the first post and the spreadsheet.

I'm sure there will be some upgrades coming through as we get closer. I'll send out a new spread sheet the week of the cruise.

Hey Lise-

We switched rooms as well- 7664 is our new stateroom number.

Thanks!

Hi Lise,

Would it be possible for you to bring a printed copy of the updated spreadsheet to the meet up for us if there are many changes?
We leave the UK on August 16th and will have no internet connection between then and boarding the ship.

So excited now

Ek! I totally forgot I Pm'd you! Sorry! Thanks again!!

 

[FeliciaL]

Please remove my MIL and FIL from the FE list as I don't want them to have to be burdened with making items. That will bring the Donald group down to 21 cabins.

Donald FE - Cabins: 21 - FE Individuals: 70 ... Adults: 42 (Women: 25, Men: 17), Kids: 28 (Girls: 11, Boys: 17)

Also, please PM me the list of ages, etc. TY!!!!

Hi Felicia,

Oops... I missed updating the first thread. I had already removed your FIL Richard and MIL Ellen from the official spreadsheet per your PM.

Donald FE - Cabins: 22 - FE Individuals: 72 ... Adults: 44 (Women: 26, Men: 18), Kids: 28 (Girls: 11, Boys: 17)

I just tried to PM you the DRAFT spreadsheet. I can't see a way to do an attachement in a PM . Please send me your email address, and I shoot it over to you

Thanks,

Lise

Donald FE Group ROLL CALL

Many folks on the Donald FE Group haven't posted in 3-5 months. Please post to confirm you're still participating. Also list when you think this FE group should close (5/30, 6/15 or 6/30). Keep in mind that when the Donald FE closes there will not be an opportunity for new cruisers to join the FE fun.

Please post, PM or email me your email address so I will have it to send you the final FE spreadsheet.

sirena - Ilonka, I need to find out if sirena cabin #2 (your mom) is participating either as part of sirena cabin #1 or independently.

The Donald FE Group still has three unconfirmed participants. They joined in early 2013 and haven't posted since. We need to get the list finalized.
Please let me know if anyone in contact with....

I'm happy to provide the "current" list, but I'm not confident it completely accurate.

Thanks,
