So... I have read the whole thread and realize that we are very late to the game. We just heard about this today. I liked the idea of meeting other families before we go. I would also love to get involved in the fe group even though I am extremely late. I understand that several families already have everything planned but even if we could just be on the list so that we could give gifts that would be fun. I saw that there are a couple of other families with daughters that are 12 and 11 and that matches my youngest two. This cruise is actually a surprise extension cruise for my youngest whose birthday is on the 15th when she will turn 11. We are leaving on the 11th and turning around and getting back on the ship so that we can celebrate her birthday the next day. We are very excited and thought that this would be a great way to increase the fun.
We have 2 staterooms and its me, my husband, DD 14, DD 12, DD almost 11 and MIL. This will technically be our 4th cruise if you count the 3 day leaving on the 11th as a separate cruise.
Please let me know if we can be involved. If you need to take a vote about it that's cool.
