Just an FYI.

There is one less stateroom to deliver to. I just received a message stating that KYmickeyfan is no longer cruising with us. There was one adult in that stateroom.

Thx

Any of you experienced cruisers want to suggest some fun activities for two adults (me and my best friend)? Last time I went we had five little kids with us so this will be a very different trip. If you have done some of the adult-oriented activities, can you recommend any?

booked CC Parasiling for DD(12) and DS(19) I will be observer but would like for DH to ride in boat with them. How does that work? Will they allow DH to ride in boat with them? Is there an area for observers?

I'm for keeping one big FE list. Also, can we decide individually whether to give one gift per state room or one gift per person?

My thought is that my 3 grandchildren will probably want to give individual gifts to children around their same ages, but might want to just give a group gift to families with older or younger children.

We'll do whatever the group decides, but this is our first cruise and I wasn't sure if there was FE etiquette I needed to follow!

Thanks -

Lisa

You can handle your FE gifts anyway you like. People are appreciative with whatever they are given.

We booked our dd (11) as well but she will be going tandem with my DH. Good questions. I hope they have a place for us to watch and videotape.

I was wondering the same thing, DW, DS DD and I are doing this too, but we would like DMIL and DFIL to be able to watch with us, but accoring to the port adeveture description:

"All Guests must have a paying ticket and no ride-along Guests are permitted."

So, it doesn't look like they will be able to do it with us

Ok, good information. DH and I will have to figure out the best place to watch.

The FE list has been sent to your inboxes so keep an eye open for it.

Please let me know if there are any mistakes and I will fix them up ASAP.

There are 3 families that I am waiting on to send me their stateroom numbers. If you have changed your mind, please let us know so you can be removed from the list. We are all planing, crafting and purchasing FE's so to have a final number would be great.

If I haven't heard from you by the end of the week (Feb 10th), I will assume you are not participating. Not trying to be creepy, just want to give everyone a fair amount of time for planning. Hope that is okay.

I can't wait!!!

Thanks everyone!!

Good call out! My Wyeth (15, turning 16 on the cruise) is also a girl.

Another question- I think we have one family in a Concierge cabin- do we have to do anything special to make a delivery to that cabin? We didn't have a concierge room on our last cruise but I remember seeing other threads discussing access for FE delivery...of course I can't remember what the resolution was. Any thoughts?

I'm getting really excited...one month from today we'll be headed to FL! YAY!!

Hi Crusin' Peeps!!

I am SOOOO happy to be able to say that in just one month (and one day) we'll be on the Dream in the warmth and sun!!

We just received 14 inches of snow and it is currently 20 degree right now. I'm SO done with winter! I am glad we didn't get any more snow but some areas in MA and CT hit the 24 inches mark. Luckily, due to the cold, it is a very light, fluffy snow so minimal tree damage. Phew.

Being snowed in makes it the perfect day to work on our FE gifts!

Hope everybody is doing well and having fun planning and counting down the days!

Best,
Liz

Another sunny day in Houston high of 70 and low of 63. That's cold enough for me.

FE GROUP


It is well past the deadline and I have not heard from 3 families regarding their information. I posted on the thread that if I hadn't heard from them by Friday I would assume they are no longer interested in participating. I sent PM's as well.

I am assuming they are not participating. I did include their names on the list but I do not have stateroom numbers. My suggestion is it is up each individual person if they want to make extra in case they decide to give us their room numbers if not, they get less.

I will resend a PM to each letting them know this.


Thx
