Wow! Fantastic and thanks for the heads up! I am not as intimidated now, but a little apprehensive about the FE groups. Oh, I love Easy.com too! I gotta start figuring out what to give and consider age appropriateness of the gifts. We get some info on that right? Do you give something to the parents as well? We also have the 2nd seating and we are from San Diego, Ca.

You might give it some thought, but not too much until you see your FE list. Once the Paid In Full date happens that is when they will send you the list of your cabins and the names, genders, ages, etc...
I gave one gift to cabin - pretty much for the adults and then individual gifts for each of the kids listed. You don't have to give to each individual tho - you can do a single cabin gift if you'd like. My FE group had 17 cabins, but I think we're only doing 10 cabins per group in this one.

I just participate because my daughter enjoys our crafting the gifts and then delivering them, but I think the best is her racing to the FE to see what loot she's got

Hey Mollyclairsmom! My husband and i would love to join a mixology. Any and many mixologies would be great.By the way, if there is any still available, would some family like to get a cabana at cast away cay??!!

Hi Martha, just make sure to send me a PM so that I have all your info (both for the Mixology and FE if you want to participate). Let me know if you have any trouble.

hmm okay, I hate to bug you about this, but what's a PM? I had already signed up for the FE about a month ago. What do you need for the mixology?

A PM is a private message. Click on my screen name, and then choose "start a conversation". You can send all of your FE and Mixology info in a single message if you'd like.

I would be interested - I cannot justify the expense for just my family, but I wouldn't mind splitting it. Assuming there are any left, since I hear if you're not Concierge or Platinum there is no chance

Yea, I heard the same thing too. But I am gonna try everyday to see if any one cancelled their cabana reservation. I tried to convince my husband to get us a room at the concierge level, but my charms only go so far.. Next time either I serve him a strong margarita when making the next cruise reservation, or I do it my self!! So if by chance we do get it you'll be the first to know!

@Martha Caraballo - sounds good. I think they only allow 6 people per cabana for the standard price, but I read somewhere you could add 4 more for an addtl $50 each. Not sure how many are in your family, but we would be 3.

Well, there is four of us +3 of y'all. They say 7 is a lucky number, lets keep our fingers crossed! A dream is a wish your hearts makes, and i have been dreaming of this cruise and those hard to get cabanas! And if I can't get them, oh well. I guess it just wasn't meant to be..... for this cruise.

We have 2 girls traveling with us 10(turns 11 during the cruise and 7), I am sure my girls would love to connect with some new friends prior to sailing!

We literally just reserved our trip this morning- first cruise ever, first DCL and first seven day trip as a family. This is LONG overdue and I'm so excited! We are not from the Garden State, but have two daughters cruising with us (5 and a 9 y.o.- 10 by cruise date). Would love to connect with other prospective families so our girls can have some reassurance knowing others at the club.

Well, well, Welcome aboard! Congratulations on your very first cruise, traveling will never be the same once you have cruised. This will be my husband's and mine second time but it will be our children's first cruise too. My son will turn 13 on the cruise and my daughter is 11 years old. Their last day of school will be June 2nd, so maybe we can get the kids to Skype or face time each other?! Their summer will be very short, school will begin in early July. So let me know if and when you wanna do this. My daughter is a chatter box and my son loves video games, maybe the boys can get together on the playstation? I can't wait till the cruise time, hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Martha! We wrap up school on June 9. We haven't yet told our girls about the trip; that's the current point of discussion in our house- when to tell them! We were thinking of telling them as we head down for the cruise, but I also like the idea of giving them some time to really get excited about it.
I can't believe you start school again in July- are you on a year round track?

Oh my goodness, i don't think i can hold on to that kind of secret!! I would not be able to that, i would be completely in awe of your perseverance. But that would be one heck of a surprise for your cherubs. I don't know if i can trust my kids to keep that kind of secret from your children. Well, the unified school district here in San Diego is not so good, so i opted for a charter school who's school calendar is different from a year round and regular school calendar. It's kind of in between the two different schedules. And it's the best decision we ever made, my kids keep getting academic awards and we could be more prouder as parents. Especially with my son, he has excelled by leaps and bounds and we no longer struggle with him to do any kind of school work. In any case, i hope to here from you all regularly so we can meet up in the the cruise, children and all.
Hope to here from you soon,
Martha
