Would anyone mind if I joined? I've never participated in anything like this and it sounds like a lot of fun.

With our latest additions (welcome, Heather!), I think we are around 25 cabins and something like 30 kids and 52 adults (not exact numbers). That's a lot of FE gifts to make or buy and carry in luggage (although I am having so much fun doing it!).

I believe the group initially had agreed to a deadline of July 15, but would there be support for closing the group at this point?

I've never done an FE before, so I don't know how it works...but would it be possible for a new group to start if people find this FE after today? My family will probably always cruise last-minute, so I feel for the late-comers

On the other hand, I've already ordered my FE materials and may not be able to find enough for many more--and then they'd get a substandard gift

I would keep the deadline - we could always do a split FE if we need to.... Meaning that we could do smaller groups. I too a little nervous about so many gifts but it will be fun. I don't want to leave people out if they pop in before the pre-determined deadline

Hi everyone -

Just an update....at this point we are up to 24 cabins (one family has two cabins, so I counted that as one). There are 52 adults and 30 kids.

Given that we have received a new family just about everyday, if not more, I think we seriously should consider closing this list earlier (before the orginal July 15th cutoff) or caping it at a certain number (30 Maybe?). Any latecomers could always start their own new thread.

Last year when we sailed the Dream, people signed up everyday until our cut off in the last 6 weeks before our sailing. We had 24 cabins in total and let me tell you, it was a lot of gifts...making, traveling with and then bringing them back home!

I do feel bad if we have to turn people away, but I think at some point we are going to have to. It's growing so big, so fast!.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I also still need email addresses from the following (Sorry if you just joined, I am just lumping them all together):
emtmickey
Safflower
grove022405
stitch101 - I also need a cabin number or GTY?

I will send out an updated FE List again, once I have a few more email addresses that are missing.

I am new to this as well, but I have read on the disboards about some cruises where there was more than one FE group. If we close our group, somebody easily could start a new one. With that said, I also read about one group which had 75 cabins! I don't know how those folks did it.

I agree completely! And thank you for all that you are doing in terms of keeping a list with emails, etc.
