September 4th, 2022 -7-Night Norwegian Fjords Cruise from Dover (Alesund, Nordfjordeid, Eidfjord, Stavanger)

[Joysnote]

I received my response back from shoreside concierge services in about a week. They stated these are the only port adventures available for Aluseund: AL01, 02, 03, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 15. Path of Trolls (in any variant) is not available as of now - which of course is what we wanted to do. Oh well.

They were able to schedule our requested adventures in the other 3 ports - NFD01, EDF01, SV15. They did not have the show schedule yet, but provided the shows that will be running - Tangled, Twice Charmed, and Disney Dreams.

We did get our Palo dinner and chocolate & liquor tasting schedule as well.

They said our cruise activities would show up on our account starting 7 May.

I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Joy

 

[BadPinkTink]

That's interesting, I wonder why that one isn't available?
Thank you for the info!

Probably something to do with Stordal Church or Valldal or another part which all variations go to. They might have gone out of business or not be ready to re open or may have restrictions to the amount of people allowed.

Thank you. I'm bummed AL14 (Sunnmore Village with Anna/Elsa) won't be available, my 3 year old would've loved it

Fish Extender Information - What Is A Fish Extender
You might have seen people mention Fish Extenders or heard the term before but not sure what it meant or you are wondering what is this?

Fish Extenders are a group of people on a Disney Cruise, who are kinda like a Secret Santa group. The idea was started back in 2005 by @EpcotKilterFan here on Disboards

The original Fish Extender was created on the May 2005 Westbound Panama Canal cruise. She thought it would be a fun thing to do with people she had been getting to know on Disboards who were on her cruise. She found the actual pouches in her local store and gave them to the people in her cruise meets group on Disboards.

The name Fish Extender comes from the metal Fish or Star Fish located outside each stateroom. These are used by Disney Cruise Line Crew to leave paper communications for the passengers in the stateroom such as your Key To The World card on embarkation day

She thought it would a fun idea to hang the pouches she found off the the metal fish, extending, it so that everyone in her cruise meets group had somewhere to put the gifts they were giving.

After the cruise they posted on Disboards and people loved the idea and decided to do the same for their cruise.

Its like a secret Santa exchange. The exchange organiser will divide people who sign up into groups. You give a small gift to the each of the people / cabins in your group.

There is no "official" Fish Extender Group or organiser. Anyone can organise a Fish Extender exchange with their cruisemates. You can be a member of one Fish Extender exchange group, multiple Fish Extender exchange groups or none, its not something you have to do.

Disney Cruise Line does not organise or have anything to do with the Fish Extender Exchanges.

 

[BadPinkTink]

FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE SIGNUP​

If anyone would like to join a Fish Extender Exchange for our cruise, I am volunteering to organize it

This is just a signup, groups will be allocated in July, when we get to 60 days before the cruise and the Paid In Full date. This is to ensure that only those who are actually ON the cruise are allocated in a group.

You can sign up sending me a Private Message.

RULES

1. Have fun and enjoy the spirit of gifting.
2. Each cabin must gift to every other cabin in that group.
3. Exception: If a family is in two cabins due to occupancy restrictions (ie. mum and 2 kids in one and dad and 2 kids in another). They count as 1 cabin (ie. 1 cabin gift or however many individual gifts) and should gift as if one cabin (ie. one spot in FE group).
4. You may do a cabin gift or individual gifts, or some combination therein.
5. Groups will be a maximum of 5 cabins
6. Try to keep to a maximum of $10 / £10 /€10 per cabin. A Fish Extender exchange is a fun group activity. There is no competition as to who gives the best gifts. You do not have to spend a lot of money per person / per cabin. $10 / £10 / €10 per cabin works out at $50 / £50 / €50 total spend. This is just a guide, if you spend less it is ok, if you spend more it is ok. Just remember , its only meant to be a fun gift
   
7. There is no set day to give out the gifts, give out the gifts when it is convenient to you.
8. While it is nice to know who gave the gifts, there is no obligation to write a note or put your name / cabin number on gifts that you give. If you want to be totally anonymous you can.
9. Please be mindful of the weight and size of the gifts you give. The majority of your cruisemates are flying to England and will have weight limits on their checked luggage.

Information Required

• Stateroom Number or Numbers
• Family Last Name
• Room Occupants (include age at time of sailing for kids) Gender Specification is optional
• Celebration
• Allergies
• Favourite Character

[Trisaratops]

Hi everyone! I'm starting to get *really* excited about hopefully finally getting to go on this cruise since initial cancelation in 2020!

We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 littles, 2yo-7yo) from Chicago! Our kids have traveled a decent amount considering their ages and the times

I just splurged for the concierge OV room (Oh how I wish I could go for the 2BR 1), a little nervous to be spending so much, but I hope I'll make use of the benefits!

 

[EliOliAli]

So excited we'll be meeting people from all over the globe ! Our last Disney cruise was uk only

Does Disney ever restock or increase availability for sold out excursions? We really wanted the kayaking in Eidfjord and were bummed it's sold out...was surprised it happened so soon as well! I was online June 6. Does anyone know of private companies with activities in eidfjord?

Its probally due to local issues. DCL hires local vendors for the excursions, so they availability could be due to what they can provide. The only hope is that a party who has booked cancels for some reason.

 

[saweczkodisney]

Does a notification go out when there are cancelations?

No you will have to ask guest services when on the ship
