Hey everyone! I have a lot to catch up on, hope I didn't miss too much. I tragically lost a good family friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and still trying to cope. I suddenly have lost my excitement for the cruise, and I'm trying to some how build it back up especially for my children. Its been a hectic two weeks, but I decided today I can no longer put anything off so off to FE shopping for me I go! Its not what I originally planned on doing but at this point, I don't want to really overwhelm myself. Sorry for the "downer" post just wanted to check in with you guys. I'm hoping by reading the comments I can start to get excited again.

So to hear that you have been going through a rough time. I truly hope these last couple of weeks of planning will go smoothly and bring back a little excitement for the cruise! I will pray for you and your family.

T-2 weeks!!!!

My wife just said yesterday, "You do realize that the Sunday after next we will be in the car driving to Florida." It's getting so close; I was ready for it to get here, now I'm thinking it needs to slow down so I can have enough time to get ready!

to the group!! We are all kind of stressed lately, trying to get everything ready to be packed. Pirate costumes, Halloween costumes, and all kinds of extras!! There's lots of info in the thread, but there's a lot to go through. If you have any questions let us know We do have an ice cream social planned for 3pm on embarkation day. If you and your family are interested in joining let us know the number of family members and the topping you are bringing!

Who is all traveling with you and ages if you don't mind? We have a great group with all ages of kids!

The FE lists are officially closed, but if you want to share who you are traveling with and your stateroom # there are several of us that have extras that we are planning to pixie dust. I know there are several people that are making a point to leave gifts to those who participate on the thread!

My oldest starts 1st grade tomorrow! I had the preschool orientation today for my middle, but since it is her second year, that should be an easy transition!

Cannot believe this time in two weeks we will be on our way to Nassau aboard the Dream!

We have been absent for awhile and hope we have not missed out on much. If there was anything major that happened from page 128-185, please let us know

FE are done, gifts made and packed. Our parents will be staying in the cabin next to us and we are surprising them with their own FE; but they aren't on anyone's list. So if anyone wants to throw pixie dust their way for their 50th wedding anniversary, feel free. They promise us that they will participate on our 2016 cruise. (They are bringing gifts for us to pass out to everyone in our group in addition to ours)

Awe sad we missed it but I didn't even know any of this existed until 2:00 today lol! We are celebrating lots of milestones this year so this is the BEST way we could think to celebrate! My 40th hubs 50th son Trey's 13th, son Jack 10th and Emma's 9th. We also have been married 19years! We've never ever been on a cruise so I have no idea what to expect.

Do any of you seasoned cruisers ever get seasick? How do you decorate your doors? Do you wear your swimsuits to board and take a carry on bag? Good places to stay close to the ship? And how do you know how early you can board the ship? Sorry for all the q's!!!
