Does anyone have the second dining option? I had a chance to switch to the early because I booked a little while ago but chose not to

Sorry, but not us. We are early so we can send the kids to the clubs after dinner, and enjoy the adult only shows later in the evening.

Hey Imacanuck, we've added you to our list too so we just have to coordinate getting your cabin number so that we can deliver! My youngest (7) is counting down the days. Every morning now I get "Mommy it's only ___ days until the cruise!"
Older daughter is pumped too, but at 10 is much too cool to admit it
I, myself, am starting to feel the setting in - so much to do so little time, but can't wait!!!

We were in second and DID take the early when offered. My DS is 4 and we think that he will be more likely to stay up later if he's watching a show than if he is sitting at a dining room table being bored by us.

When we looked at the times for eating, late seating was too late for him to eat. It probably depends on if you have kids and how old they are...without my DS, I ALWAYS opt for late.

Thank-you so much!! my son is 8 so close to your childs age, he is very excited as well!!

Can someone give me the low down on FE gifts...
like is there a certain day we should deliver?
Do you sign your name on the gifts?
Is there any amount we should spend or not go over?

Thanks!

My view (and I am only one) is that you should distribute whenever you wish. We tend to do it on the first or second day, partially so we get all that stuff out of our room!
We have not signed our name before, but this year we're owning up to the stuff we're sharing!
And finally, the amount is a topic of great debate on these boards. The honest answer is whatever you feel most comfortable with. It truly is the thought that counts!

Oh we will be there! I loved those games last time! I'm a little too shy to volunteer for Match Your Mate, but by the last night I won a dance contest!! Once you get to know me, you'll find that hilarious! I'm a bit concerned we will have slow tablemates...

And making lists? I'm right there with you! I've got a whole notebook of lists! It's not too soon at all. We are staying at Beach Club before the cruise and I'm just as excited about that as the cruise itself.

I packed up my "pharmacy" last night - every kind of pain reliever, stomach aid, bandaid, etc.. you could need! If in need, come find me! Oh, sauterelledesilles, I have ginger pills, and will also be looking for bonnie.

I was able to add you to our FE list Imacanuck.

Getting excited!

Yay! I am so looking forward to meeting everyone at the meet, so that we can sit together that night!

I accept cash!!!

thank you so much this will be sooo fun, now I need a list of everyone participating

Done. I have just sent the (final?) list to everyone via email. Please let me know if you don't receive it, and I'll resend. This time I used :bcc, so who knows what'll happen!

We do, and we love it! Especially loved the fact that the counsellors would arrive at around 9 p.m. to take the kids to the clubs -- DD couldn't finish her dinner fast enough!

I'm so happy to hear that Tisa is on board! She is awesome! She is responsible for adult fun.

 

[MammaC]

Soooo excited and can't wait to meet everyone!

We have late dining too. Even though DD is 4 going on 5 I looked at the timing of the early dinner and we would be eating dinner at 3pm our normal time which is just crazy to me. So, I went with the late dining and we'll see how it goes...

We have late dining too. My DS and I are used to eating late. We don't usually eat dinner until 7:30 or 8:00 anyway and he loves staying up late any chance he gets. I'm really excited to get this vacation started!!!

Hi all,

This cruise is constantly on my mind. Here is what I did last night on my nails...

And then this afternoon, I laminated (with contact paper) Mickey ears to decorate our doors.

Speaking of doors... for those who are participating in the FE. We have two cabins but will only have one FE with all five names on it.

Have a good evening all!

We're on the second dining option as well - I was hoping to switch to the first, but no luck so far.

Two weeks today we'll be getting on the plane to head down - it's getting close!!

We considered that too. We decided that the kids would be tired enough from all the activities that if they wanted to go to bed earlier, they would have already eaten.

We have a DD who just turned 5 a month ago. She can't stop talking about the cruise.

I didn't realize you were from Fort Collins -how cool to have someone else from CO!! (We're from Conifer) Also someone who has a DD the same age as mine!! My DD is an only child and can be shy so I'm hoping that she opens up a little with the other kids and ends up having fun...

 

[Long Gone]

My DD5 is the youngest of 4. We have 3 kids who will be in the kids club. If you are interested, we could introduce them so that if they are in there together, they would at least recoginize someone else. My DD10 is great about including friends when they play together.

Long Gone! I was wondering where you'd .... er ... gone! You're the Cruise Thread Captain! Will you be at the meet?

 

[papertraveller]

Oh, and here's the challenge folks! We have to hit 500 posts before we cruise, and keep this thread on the first page of all the meets! Who's in?

OK, I'm in for 500 posts, because I was thinking the same thing about LongGone! I thought you had skipped out on us, but glad you are back!

 

[DundasDad]

Only 500? We've barely started!

I soooo need this vacation - recovering from eye surgery and I am miserable right now.
