March 3,2014 Magic Bahamas cruise

Welcome all
It's going to be a great cruise.
Spending the weekend camping with DH
We are from south Louisiana and it was a warm 60 degrees
With clear sky's today. Tomorrow's forecast is the same.
I should be working on my FE gif but couldn't pass up such a
Great weekend.
Can't wait to meet everyone. Any news on a meet and greet?

I don't think anything has been set up.

I recommend 3:00 at the Promenade lounge. It gives everybody a chance to get to their staterooms and get luggage in. It's before the lifeboat drill. Promenade is a convenient, central location and seldom busy at that time of day.
 
Hey Gang!!

Just a reminder that the proposed FE cut-off date is tomorrow January 20th (6 weeks from sail-away date!! :banana:). Most everyone has been on the Google Docs site and updated their information. If you haven't already done that please do so or else post the info here and we can put it in the list. I am very hopeful that Cheer25mom will be back soon and this list should be helpful to her as she organizes this.

Really looking forward to this vacation!! :woohoo:

Sounds good to me!! Count us in :)
 

So how many rooms are we up to?

17 confirmed with room numbers, names, etc.

Waiting for cheer25mom to check-in. Her info is still missing as well.

There are a couple of new people to the thread (BethanyGia and lionfan3) who have recently expressed an interest but have yet to sign up with their info.

Would you (or someone) please ask people on the Facebook page to check the spreadsheet to see if their information is there and check some of the names on the bottom of the sheet to see if they want to be added or deleted from the list?

Maybe mention the meet and greet on Facebook as well. That includes everyone regardless of whether or not they are doing the FE :grouphug:

Facebook MSG sent. I have a feeling cheer mom is out. We haven't heard from her in a month.....maybe longer....where is the meet and greet? 3pm in promenade?
 
Woot woot:cool1:
Six weeks til we sail!! So excited!! :banana::banana:
Im not on FB and my info was correct on the spread sheet so I made no changes.
Will the spread sheet be reposted with the final count? Again,thank-you so much for organizing this.
Sorry to hear about the people who have not confirmed but looking forward to finalizing my gifts. Our kids are so excited! They really enjoyed doing this on our previous two cruises.
Hope everyone is staying warm, or as warm as possible!
Don't want to commit to the meet and greet at this time. We really like to wing it once on board. No expectations reduce disappointments.
The last meet and greet we went to the kids were anxious to check out the whole ship/swim/eat etc. So we may come just depends on how the day is going.
See you soon!:wave2:

I know how that is!! We will probably go with the flow as well; every now and then the kids let me think it's up to me but we really know who's in charge ;)
Having said that my eldest daughter is 9 so I'm sure she will meet up with your children on board regardless as they are so very close in age. If you do decide to join the meet and greet there will be children (or "tweens" as she prefers!!) their age in attendance.

Ha Ha its so true! :rotfl2:
And yes our girls will probably meet.
Lauren is very outgoing.
Her older brother on the other hand is the shy guy.
Funny how kids can be so different.
 
So... the proposed cut-off date has come and gone. No word from cheer25mom in ages. How does everyone want to proceed? There are two recent additions to our thread and although they expressed interest I haven't seen any details yet regarding the FE group. Have they said anything on FB? BethanyGia and lionfan3 are their Disboard "handles" ;) A few others had expressed interest earlier in the thread and then nothing. Their names are posted on the bottom of the spreadsheet. If we don't hear anything by the end of this week we should maybe just omit them and then afterwards, if we hear differently and if there is enough interest, there could be a second list. Looking for opinions, suggestion, ideas...

I might get started on the FE stuff this week as I prepare to endure yet another blizzard coming our way with high winds and a foot of snow. yay :crazy2:

On a footnote my DH called today to say the connecting flights between Phoenix (where he is currently golfing with friends) and New Brunswick (home, where his wife and three kids anxiously await his return AND the aforementioned snow storm) are cancelled. Hmmm. Hard to believe he is TOO upset about that :scratchin

Oh well... our holiday will come soon :cool1:
 
I agree it's moving on time.

If we have others for the FE a second list can be started for the late comers.

Woke up to snow again bring on some warm sunshine!
 
I say go ahead and move forward, as there are some people who may be ordering personalized things that take some time to come in and we only have 6 weeks left till cruise time :woohoo: We could leave it open for any late comers with the understanding that the list "officially" closed on the 20th and many have already begun to purchase gifts and such.

What all was cheermom supposed to do to organize this other than keep the spreadsheet updated? I think as long as each person participating prints out a copy for themselves then we are good, no? :confused3

So we are still at 17 staterooms?
 
I'm good with moving forward... 17 is a good number and let's us plan.... Hope cheermom is ok!
 
Do you think that maybe we should have listed any allergies on the FE spreadsheet? I just added on my son's gluten intolerance but now I'm thinking everyone else may need to update with any allergies to avoid receiving an FE gift with a potential allergen (latex, peanuts, etc)

I hope that anyone with allergies would have listed it. Thanks for adding yours. There have been a couple of staterooms added so..

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF STATEROOMS IS 19!!

If your total differs re-check the spreadsheet and compare. I changed the order a little to make the delivery more organized (she said hopefully..). Of course you can distribute your items whichever way you'd like I just prefer to start at the lowest deck and move up and going from fore to aft, then aft to fore... you get the idea.

Anyway... there's a scary little glimpse into my slight (!) OCD personality :rolleyes1

I know on other cruises everyone has a certain day to deliver your FE gifts. Personally I don't care when you deliver your things; pick a time (or times) that suits you best. I might suggest that everything be delivered before the early seating on the last night as people will be packing up by then. Opinions?

Getting excited for the FE thing now that the list is finalized. I guess I have no more reason to procrastinate (another one of my fun personality traits!).

Another stormy day in the Maritimes. DH delayed again returning from Phoenix. I think we'll be telling the kidlets this weekend :cheer2: Can't deny them the fun of looking forward to a break from winter.

Hope your hubby gets home safely. Your kids are going to be so excited to hear the news! We couldn't wait, spilled the beans right away. Have fun telling them!:wizard:
 
My daughter Melina is actually CRYING over Justin Beiber all day today. Biting my tongue. Really want to tell her how much of a thug he has turned into. Ugh. Sorry for the non-Disney rant. 38 days? Can't wait until cruise docs come in the mail! Gonna make some magnets this weekend! Yea
