All of my information is correct on the chart. I vote that we split. My gifts are a little bigger than I imagined and would rather do half of the group. It doesn't matter to me how we split. My email address is jenmcgrady@hotmail.com.

 

[kihart]

Yea-No more than 30 is my vote...and a split by closest staterooms is good.

You can vote up until COB on October 12, 2012.

FE Group Size Vote

• No preference (fine with what the majority rules)
• Leave as 1 group
• Cap off size (example: if we hit 30, split in 2)
• Split into 2 groups now
• Other suggestion

As far as splitting

• Split by floors
• Split by Port (fish) vs Starboard (seahorse)
• Other suggestion

​

Below should represent the votes we have thus far (sorted by DIS name):

No more than 30 will be my vote as well. After that, it will be really big.

We currently have 25 families/staterooms signed up, we should vote this week on where we want the cap to be. How about we say, vote by COB Monday, 10/8/2012- that way we know as soon as the sign up closes how many we should be preparing for?

My vote is cap at 30, split if we get more. Split by port and starboard if it works out that way is fine.

TOP OF THE PAGE!!! Too funny!!!

Okay, that's cheating!!

 

[Katesdad]

Just to state the obvious . . .

WE CRUISE NEXT MONTH!!

Janice, may I just say that I'm not sure if I'm more excited about being 52 days out (45 for "some" of us) or trying to keep the secret going from my kids that DW and I are cruising on the Fantasy and THEY AREN'T COMING!

By the way, thank you for taking care of us with all this. Your organizational skills are tremendous. Hope I can buy you a drink at the DIS meet on Saturday. You deserve it.

Cap at 30 is my vote. shannon.lapointe@roadrunner.com

Being a newbie and not really knowing what I'm getting into, capping them sounds like a good idea. How that's done is a better question for the veterans.

If it's capped at 30, is that 30 people or 30 cabins? I've seen that some people individual gifts and some do cabin gifts...

And our stateroom number is 5178 (the chart shows 5175). Thanks!

I noticed the Rain Forest passes under the On-Board Gifts and Amenities section of the DCL website.

I have never been before, and after reading about it, I think I am going to give it a try.

For those who may have done the Mayan Ruins before, would you recommend it for a 5 year old? Someone mentioned that it was a lot of walking and was not really kid friendly. Is there somewhere I can find more details? Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting! I am going on this western carribean cruise with my parents and DD (3), this will be our second cruise and we are so excited!! I have been reading most of the posts and was interested in participating in the FE, until when do I have time to sign up? And if I dont, I am still interested in meeting families who have children of similar age to my daughter so she can have someone to play with for a while, or in the OC! I know she wants to go to plutos pajama party (it was on the dream, is it on the fantasy?), but she is afraid of going alone!
Thank you!

It is 30 Staterooms and up to you if you gift by person or room.
I have corrected your stateroom - thanks!

By the way . . . we had some excitement at our house this weekend. . .


On Sunday, Linda had gone upstairs to switch the loads in the wash, and I guess that seemed like a good time for me to start to choke. . . She came flying down the stairs, saved my life, and then I looked at her and asked what was her issue - turns out - she broke her toe rushing to get to me!!

She is currently walking around on crutches. . . hopefully. . . she will be all healed up by the time we set sail!!!

We really need a vacation!!
