FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE INFORMATION
OK folks, we're starting to get up there in the number of cabins signed up for the FE Exchange. To keep costs down, as well as the amount of space needed to get gifts to the ship, I like to split the group once we get to about 20 cabins. I also leave it up to you if you want to deliver to all cabins even though you'll only receive gifts from those on 'your half' of the list (and from anyone on the other half that decides to deliver to all). This should be fun, not a wallet buster.
There was a question on our Facebook page about having to do 70 some gifts now that the list has grown. Remember, you don't HAVE to have a gift for each person, gifts can be per stateroom if it's that kind of gift.
The only question I have for you right now is, do you want to split the list right in the middle or do you want to mix it up so you get to visit all decks? That's more running around, but it's sort of fun to walk all over the ship. And you could always deliver to top decks one day and lower decks the next. Chime in and let me know.
We won't split the list until about 6 or 8 weeks out (maybe we'll have 3 groups by then!) If this will cause a problem for you because you're creating personalized gifts, then maybe we can split earlier. At any rate, I'd like to freeze the list at that time and if there are any stragglers, they can be added to a latecomers list and exchange between themselves, with individual 'earlybirds' given the option to join that group in addition to their original for more fun.
Whew, that means only 3.5 months left until we wrap up the lists. Sounds long, but it will go fast.
