June 28, 2014 ~ Fantasy ~ Eastern Caribbean

64 days to go!!! Getting really excited now!! So looking forward to this vacation!

I can't believe it is so close!! Work and life have been so busy. I'm normally done planning and have a countdown chain going long before now. This time, I have two other trips between now and then and I'm not sure I have reservations completed for them yet. :-O

I still have so much to plan for this trip and FEs to do. I keep looking at the boards for our next two cruises and laughing at their talk of flight and hotel plans. I just laugh...WBPC is a year away!

We are fast approaching the deadline of May 1 for closing the FE lists. The Gold list isn't as full as I thought it would be. So, should the date be extended? Another option would be to let people on the Red list join the Gold.

What do those on the Gold list think?

Are both the lists posted to Google Docs? On the first page of the thread I only see a link to the original list.

I don't see the harm in leaving it open for another week or so. Being that this is our first cruise, I have no idea the normal group size for this. However, 33 families seems a bit overwhelming if the lists were combined. Perhaps a couple of families are willing to move from the Red to the Gold to even things out?

BTW...back in the beginning of this thread it was mentioned that perhaps some of the kiddos would like to get in touch before the cruise. I've got a teenage DD (16) and she expressed an interest in this. Send a PM and I'll forward to DD. She does have FB, but spends most of her time on Twitter and Instagram.

They are both on the same page. There are tabs at the bottom for Red and Gold.

I have a DD that is 15 and does instagram and FB too. How do we get them together?

 

[John21601]

We have 13 staterooms on the Gold FE list. I had originally proposed closing the list on May 1st. If it's OK with everyone, I think we should keep it open until June 1st in the hopes of getting more participants.

Also, would anyone on the Red list like to be on the Gold list too? You would have to give more gifts but you would also receive more.

Happy Mother's Day to all

So we are really starting to get close!!!
What things do you bring on the cruise that are fun and helpful? For example, we always bring glow sticks to use in the bathrooms. They provide light at night so people can see to use the bathroom and then you can throw them away in the morning. Or hanger clothes pins that you can use to hang up suits in the bathroom to help them dry.

We always bring a power strip since there aren't enough outlets. We also have a pop-up hamper for laundry. I also bring my travel coffee cup for my morning coffee run.

Unfortunately, we are no longer allowed to bring power strips. They will confiscate it.

Hi there,

I would really like to participate in the fish extender for the june 28th cruise. Can my family be added to the list. This is my third cruise and I have never heard of this!

Hi. I am totally new to this board and a little late on this, but would it be possible for my family to be added to the fish extender list? I have never heard of this and we are going on our THIRD DCL cruise!

thanks

I'll put you on the list. I need your names, kids ages, and stateroom number.

 

[suzrakov1972]

Suzanne and Simon Rakov
Maddy (5)
Miles (9)

stateroom #6104

Can you provide some ideas for gifts? Do people usually give something for the adults and something different for the kids?

Thank you!

Hi!! I cannot believe how quickly the cruise will be here! I need to get started on my fish extender gifts!! Yikes!

I am trying to break down the Gold FE list into girls and boys...I know both girls and boys with the name of Logan...could you clarify if "your" Logan is a boy or girl.

Thanks!
