Ok, after receiving all your opinions regarding splitting the FE, the decision to split the group into smaller manageable groups has been made.
thank you for all your suggestions on how to divide the groups up, unfortunately splitting by
1) bow or stern isnt feasible as they are 23 cabins at the bow and 15 at the stern and 2 gty.
2) fb versus dis cant be done as 11 cabins only do dis, 4 cabins only do fb and then 25 cabins do both fb and dis.
3) starboard side of ship versus port side of ship wouldn't work as, 21 cabins are on the starboard and 17 are on the port and 2 gty.
4) even versus odd cabin number wouldnt work either as 33 cabins are even numbered and 5 odd numbered with 2 gty.
so it would seem the best way to split the current 40 cabins registered is to divide up by decks,
Group 1 (MINNIE) will be decks 2, 5, 6, 7 a total of 23 cabins/85 people
Group 2 (MICKEY) will be decks 8, 9, 10, 12 a total of 23 cabins/86 people in order to keep the groups balanced, this group includes the two gty rooms (which could be anywhere on the ship)
please note: there are 23 cabins in each group as 6 cabins have expressed a wish to deliver to everyone on the list
A third group (DONALD) will now be started for anyone who joins after today 24/April/2014,
The FE will officially close on the paid in full date August 11th 2014. However we will run a late comers group should it be required.
If you havent signed up yet but would now like to, please pm me either here on the dis or on fb, thank you
i will ask sweetlovin to post the link to the fe lists on page 1 of this thread so you may access your list,
hope you have fun shopping or crafting for your exchange, sarah
