Mar 21, 2013 Bahamas Dream Cruise

[DisneyMouseHouse]

Hi -
Thought I'd start a thread for this cruise as it didn't look like there was one. We just booked this morning (a B2B with the 4 night before this one).

This will be our first week on a DCL ship without the kids and we are excited. It will be myself (Beverly) and DH Eje (pronounced A-ya').

I'd be willing to put together roll call/FE list

Looking forward to seeing some posters on here and also meet some new people.

Going to post a Google Doc so that everyone can see who's on board. No need to PM me, just list the following by posting to this thread...
Cabin Number
Names of Adults in cabin and relationship to each other
Names and ages of children in cabin and also their relationship to you - DD, DS, DGS, DGD, etc, etc....
Whether or not you are interested in participating in an FE
Whether or not you are interested in participating in a cruise meet on board
Where are you from?
Early or Late dining


I have started a Google Doc with the info above in it for anyone who wants to be listed as "Who's On Board" or participating in the FE..............
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Apajl3iioc3zdExOM2hDR2Q2bXo5Rnd3TV8xVTViYWc

You should be able to view this without logging into Google. When someone gets a chance, please check for me? Thanks!
Beverly

Add us to the cruise! This will be our first ever cruise - starting small with a 3 nighter and we are excited!

It will be me (Amy) and DH (Tim) along with DD (Maeleah), who will be 11 (almost 12) when we cruise.

We are in KS too!

Just starting to investigate FE's, but I am intrigued and will likely participate.

I believe we signed up for late dining and I will have to check on cabin number...

 

[Chini3458]

Yes, please add me to the list. I would like to participate.

Dear Amy -
Welcome - you will absolutely love your cruise -we are officially addicted to DCL!

I added you to the "who's on board" list with a ?? about participating in the FE, so when you know, just let me know, and I'll fix it up! I will need a cabin number for you, but no rush! And again, welcome. I am sure as this cruise gets closer, we'll get a bit more active, but summer is always busy around here....

PS - where in KS are you from? We live in Pittsburg (Go Gorillas, Welcome to the Jungle!)

Yes, please add me to the list. I would like to participate.

Dear Eileen -
I have you added to participate in the FE, and sometime I will just need to get your cabin number.......

I've been so busy planning our October trip with my parents, I hadn't checked back here in awhile. SO CRAZY, but we live in Scammon and I graduated from Pitt State back in the day (has it really been 15 years ago???). It never ceases to amaze me how small the world really is!

I resemble that remark. We just got back from visiting family in Sweden, we were gone almost three weeks.

That is too funny, being so close geographically.....

I had to stop and count, it's been 24 years (YIKES!) since I graduated from PSU.....it seems like just a couple of years ago.....

You think more people will join the group? Since this is our first Disney cruise not sure how this works. When it gets closer, will there be a cut off date? Thinking of gifts... excited...

There will be a cut-off date......and sure hoping more people join. If they don't and we all agree, we can just (maybe?) make more than one gift to pass out and that way we have a few.....just a thought and nothing is set in stone....

Also, if by chance the group gets too big (although that may not happen) we might consider splitting the group into two different groups so that you don't have to bring TOO much stuff.....

Right now, just kind of playing it by ear.

When we get closer (December or January) we'll all review the list, decide on a cut-off and go from there......

Hello!!
We are interested in participating in the FE!
We have a group of 7, 2 rooms.
One cabin is me, (Kelly), my mom (Roxanne), and my 2 kids Maya aged 7 and Logan aged 5.
The other cabin is a family friend. His name is Dave and his two kids. Lauren, 13 and Emma, 12.
Our cabins are 9576 and 9578.
We are in main dining.
We are all from St. Louis.
Cannot wait for this! Just discovered the FE and think it's a great idea! So excited!

 

[Chini3458]

Welcome Kelly! Is this your first cruise?

Disney Mouse House will add you to the list. =)

 

[ajh88]

Just checking in. We just got back from our October trip to WDW - had so much fun. I love Disney in the fall! I decided to upgrade to concierge last night. I can't remember the cabin I picked now...I will have to update.

I've been reading up on cruising tips and trying to figure out what (if any) excursions we are doing. And Kelly4FSU - my DH is from St. Louis and we lived there for 10 years before we moved back to KS. I loved it there and miss it sometimes, but I like being "home" too!

Hi Y'all - now that the holidays are just about over, it's time for me to start working again on the FE list - if you are interested in participating, please PM me - I promise that I'll be better about checking them from now on since all of the family is gone, holidays are over and it's back to the grindstone! LOL!

Hope everyone had a great holiday and has a safe and Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing you all in just a little over 11 weeks! Happy sailing!

HI!
I added your info to the FE list so you don't need to submit again, just reminding all that we need to get the list kind of finalized, the cruise is just "right around the corner" almost

WOW - I saw a few videos of the deck on that cruise, and it didn't look much like fun at times - hope you all were safe and glad to know you made it back safely!

I do believe that everyone who has wanted to participate in the FE List has been added to my spreadsheet. How do you feel about having the link to the list posted here? I have it stored on Google Drive (used to be Google Docs) and would post the link if no one had an issue with that.

The other option would be for me to PM each of you with the link individually so you can verify your information.

So far, we have 6 families participating or tentatively participating in the FE with a total of 21 people. I would like to set the cutoff no later than the end of the month to let everyone get an idea of how many FE gifts they will need.

Any comments, questions, suggestions?

I'm ok with you posting it here. And I agree end of month cut off would be good to plan. Sooo excited! Kids don't know yet we're going!
