Official May 17th Alaska Cruise Thread!

We would like to join the FE. We do not have our room number, I will post later when I have it. We have participated in FEs many times. They are fun for adults even without kids. I'm always amazed by the cleverness of some of the gifts. On our last cruise my favorite gifts were a Disney music CD and a journal for the kids.

Dan and Felicia
DD 11, DS 7

You have been added to the list.

Hey everyone!

We would like to add our names to the FE list as well.

Eric and Erica both 26 y/o

We will be in room 6585 and excited to join the fun!

Like others, we also will be arriving a day prior, getting in around noon on Monday. We are looking at staying at the Westin Grand, Westin Bayshore, or the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that any of these offer transfer from the airport for free, however the Skytrain looks like a promising option from the airport.

You have been added to the list!

They recently posted an "Alaskan Flap Hat" for Alaska:

I have saved off a number of these from that thread, they look like so much fun to do!! I hope I have enough time to actually make them! In reading some of the other threads about door decor, I noticed that some have had trouble with their door decorations and Fish Extenders being tampered with or stolen. Have those of you experienced sailors had this happen or know of this?

I'm wondering if it's related to idle young people who, while generally well behaved, sometimes get bad ideas and act on them without thinking! I'm hoping that the timing of our sailing means that most teens are still in school. (I love the kids, not trying to bad mouth them, but I'd hate for anyone to lose something they've worked hard on!!)

It won't stop me from decorating my door, but it will stop me from putting anything irreplaceable or valuable out there! That stuff will go on our side of the door!

And, Nick, pretty please, I mis-spoke when I gave my hubby's age! Steve won't be 62 til October, so he is really only 61. he might not be too happy with me if he saw that as his age on a list somewhere. I'd appreciate it if you'd change it on the master FE list next time you edit it. Thanks so much!

Hi there!

I'm Cordelia's mom and the mom who is blessed to be able to call Nick my new son, now that they are happily married! I am so glad to be going on this cruise as well!

We found the Mickey Ears for the door number very easy to make. Once we had the design cut out of paper, it only took one short evening to trace it and cut it out of the foamie sheets and, using a glue stick, glue the pieces together. As Nick said, we altered the Sorcerer Hat to make it a Sleep Hat, but it really didn't add much time at all!

To protect items from being stolen, we put our names on all our items. We also personalized the mickey balloons and labeled everything. To keep our Fish Extender from 'wandering off,' I used fabric paint and wrote our names on each pocket. And lastly, we used an electrical tie to firmly attach the Fish Extender to the metal fish hanger outside the door. There were quite a few FE's on our cruise and I didn't hear of any of them disappearing! We really enjoyed our venture around the decks of the Dream delivering our FE gifts and spent lots of time enjoying the ways others decorated their doors too!

Have fun with it and if you have any other questions, just let us know!

Our fantasy cruise is on June 23. Will you be going on the Fantasy in June as well?

The fifteen year old in me remembers Common Grounds fondly. However, I really prefer the Cove Cafe. My husband and I play Scrabble in there for hours and hours and hours.

 

[magicimaginear]

Yes but we are going on the 9th.

Nick, Erica and I have been dating for 7 years. I know you requested what our relationship to each other was

Who does anyone recommend for trip insurance? I know it is not always advised, but we think we want to purchase just in case. It was offered from my booking agent for around 60 dollars per person and our son was free. Is this reasonable?

Thank you

I Didn't get trip insurance this time since Canada and the US are not Mexico or the carribean. If you have fly home on a medical emergency or get treatment it should be very easy.

The one thing to note isnif Disney loses your luggage they limit liability. The insurance bridges that. So in my head the real risk is lost luggage.

I got it when we went to the Carribean and Mexican Riveriera. Will get it again when we to the double dip cruise in Jamuary on e Dream.

My Mom twisted her ankle on the Wonder in 09. It cost about 250 to see the ship doc and get an X-ray.
