Super early easter april 19, 2014 fantasy cruise!

[Bree]

I am printing out my magnets on cardstock, laminating then sticking a magnet on the back. A laminator is not very expensive and comes in handy for all kinds of stuff. I have one that was $20 on Amazon. Free shipping if you have Amazon Prime or order $35 worth of stuff to get free shipping (easy to do if you buy the laminating sheets at the same time!).

This is the one I have.

This is our second cruise. We did a 4 day on the Dream last january. (Although I got sick and was confined to my room-so really this is my first cruise)

I am at a loss as to what to do for exertions. My Son 13 doesn't like the beach-- at all. We live 30minutes from a very nice beach in NH and he refuses to go anymore. I am not fond of small boats. And we have a 7.5 year old son who disqualifies us to go on some of the hikes because you have to be 8. My 15 year old will happily do anything. And my husband prefers hiking to the beach.
I would love to do the kayaking trip, but that would mean leaving my 7 year old who loves to kayak on the boat all day. I think the guilt would get to me. Any hints would be appreciated. Is it possible to do a kayaking trip get back to the boat and take my 7 year old to a beach, or would that be cutting it too close on time.
Thanks Carrie

There is a place called Loterie Farm on St. Maarten that has zip lines (child course, medium level course & extreme course), hiking trails, a restaurant and a pool (you can rent cabanas too). That is where we are going. We are renting a jeep for the day and driving over there. You can also take a taxi from the pier for about $40 one way. You can either arrange for the driver to come back or Loterie Farm will call one for you. After zip lining we are going to Marigot for lunch and pastries at Sarafina's then to Maho Beach to watch the planes land.

Hi Tracey, I am not in charge of the FE but from what I gather the cut of date is going to be Next week so you are not too late. But they will need names of all cruising along with the gender and age of any children and a cabin number.

That us correct the FE organizer is Kathy (twokats) and she will need you info about who is in your stateroom and the ages of the kids if any. Also in order to send and receive private messages (pm) you needs to have 10 post What I did when I started is I just posted 10 random things or comments. you can even post that you are trying to get to 10 posts and people understand and don't mind. Good luck and Welcome we are here is you need anything

OK, I have pretty much figured a way out to split once we reach the cut-off date so that everyone should be happy and able to join the fun without the stress, but I need to hear from everyone to know how they feel. Split or be on all, so that I can have total feedback on each participant.

I have noted all that have responded on this page of the thread. The ones that I don't see on the thread in the next few days, I will send a PM so that once the date gets here I can get the lists done ASAP. I can make this happen, but I need responses!

When is the cutoff date again and how many at this point do you think we will split into?

 

[fantasyzilla0414]

I have another question about FE based on what I have seen in other groups. It us a gift per cabin? One per couple and kids each get their own? Everyone in the cabin get their own gift?

Tracey, you are more than welcome to join. Our cut-off date is Feb 4.
I will need all the occupants in your stateroom and when you get it the stateroom #. Mike is right about the 10 posts. Ask questions about the FE or the cruise, tell us a little about yourself and so on and you will reach 10 in no time.

Garlandfarm, waiting for you to get to 10 also so that I can pm you the FE document link.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone in the time left before the cruise.
It will be here before we know it.

The cut-off date is Feb 4 and I am going to try to get the split where there is approximately 20 per group. It will depend on our final count and I hope for that number, for sure nothing over 25. I will do my best.

As far as the gifts, that is your choice. If you will go back to the post where I listed the FE links some of those might help.
But you can do a cabin gift, or individuals, or a cabin and a little something for kids. Totally up to you and your budget.

It doesn't really matter it is how you want to do it and what fits your agenda/budget the best. Every FE we have given each individual a gift. This time we have separate gifts for the children under 10, 11-17 and then something different for the adults. But we have received all of the options that you listed. We have received a cabin gift, and a couple gift and kids each got a gift and then we have received individual gifts.
