[Jennifer in MI]

OK

Jennifer_in_MI: Steve & Jennifer, DS x 3 (Sam 15, Andrew 13 & William 11), DD (Margaret 5) - Cabins 6620 & 6622 Are you doing FE?

J
Please let me know if I have missed anyone. I think we need to set cut-off for the FE to be 2 weeks' before which would make it 09/11/11 for that reason alone I hope people don't mind but I'm going to make it a day earlier so cut off is: 09/10/11.

Yes! We're participating.

Funny - 9/11 is the date we're leaving!! Perfect!

Thanks RJLechner I have added you both to the list and Jennifer_In_MI I have also added the confirmation that you are doing FE. OK as this is my first cruise and first FE do I need to also ask you who is going to be in which cabin. Are you going to have an FE outside of each cabin or just one between the 2 cabins?

I can't believe countdown is now finally at almost 100 days!

 

[Super*Mum]

Thank you for volunteering to organize!!! Just want to note that at one time I know WideEyedWonder was organizing the FE. He hasn't been on here in awhile. Perhaps you should PM him to see if he is still interested in organizing.

Can I put in a request of making the cut off earlier than two weeks before? I know that some people are doing other things before (parks, touring CA, etc.) and it would be stressful and, in some cases, impossible to accommodate someone who joined that late. Just a thought. Discuss amongst yourselves.

We are starting our vacation a week before this cruise starts, that isn't enough time to organize any last minute FE participants. On all our other cruises the cut-off date was at least a month before......

Thanks I just contacted WideEyedWonder about the FE list as I certainly don't want to step on anyone's toes. As you will have seen from previous posts this is my first cruise and, therefore first FE too, so I'm looking for as much help, so to speak as I can get. Would those of you who are travelling prior to the cruise be happier with a date such as Saturday 27 August as a cut-off?

 

[yukongirl123]

Aug 27 works for me......

 

[lostinyonkers]

Ok... I have a secret....
My DS and I are going to Kauai the week prior to the cruise! I bought the tickets a couple hours ago.

I'm a little late on this... just had gallbladder surgery on Friday and finally getting back to being able to sit at the computer.... but WOW I have to say I AM SO JEALOUS!!! In fact I am so jealous of so many of you who have vacations starting before our cruise!! How fun!!!! I wanna come along!!

Sorry I can't help with the pre-cruise hotel situation. We still aren't sure what we're going to do either.

Hey we're almost down to the double-digits! 99 days sounds SO much better than 100... don't you think!?

We'll have one FE on one of the doors. I don't think you can miss it - it's five pockets long! LOL

8/27 works for me too!

I hope you are feeling better!

I agree - 99 days sounds MUCH better than 100!!! Close!!! Our family leaves for our cross-country drive on 9/11, so technically, I'm under 100. But, really the vacation is the cruise for me!!!!

 

[Super*Mum]

just had gallbladder surgery on Friday and finally getting back to being able to sit at the computer....

That sounds awful! I guess the positive of this is that it was dealt with, and manifested, before the big trip! Who wants GI problems with all that delicious food waiting to be eaten? In all seriousness, I truly hope you are feeling better!!!

 

[Jennifer in MI]

101 Days!!!!!

Hope you're feeling a little better. At least you've got a little recuperation time before the cruise. I was just saying to my husband last night that we were almost down to double digits. Can't wait!

 

[lostinyonkers]

Thanks for all the well-wishes everyone! I'm really happy to say I'm recovering very well. I even went back to work today (BOOO!!!!). I didn't want to use up all my Vacation/PTO time sitting at home doing nothing. I'd rather save it for actual fun stuff! lol

And yes... I am so glad to have this done now, so it's over with and I have plenty of time to recuperate before the cruise. I was in such pain almost every time I ate before... what a horrible shame that would have been to not have that fixed before getting to eat all the great food on the Wonder! I should have plenty of time to get back into the swing of things so I can PIG OUT, as I plan to!!

So exciting that we're at 101! DD's birthday is Monday, when we're finally going to tell her about the cruise and I can't wait!! She has no idea how excited I am for her birthday!!!

99 DAYS!!!!! We're under 100 days!!!!

Yeah although I keep wanting to burst into song.

Tell me about it!!! I keep playing the song Knee Deep. It reminds me of vacation! And, I put my Disney music on the radio as I make dinner. Love it!!!

Hi everyone

I am now getting super excited about this trip.

Our on line booking window opens June 27. I need to book Palo (brunch and dinner) although I'm still undecided about which are the best days for these. I guess I'll just see what's available when I book.

I've pretty much decided on our shore excursions - PV City Tour and Coastal Highlights in Cabo.

My Daughters have school holidays the first two weeks of July so I'm going to get them to help me create some sort of fish extender. I am not at all creative so it should be a very interesting craft project. I'm sure we will have fun.

I still have so many other little things to organize pre and post cruise. I'll have to get on with it. Time is ticking

 

[SoccrMom]

Now that we are counting down until we can book excursions, spa, Palo, etc., what are your plans for excursions? We have always planned really heavily on the Passporter book, but this year's version isn't out yet. So, what are your thoughts??? We are planning on only going to Palo for brunch - I love the brunch so much better than the dinner, and dinner is the ONLY time I see my teenager on the ship
