Just thought of a newbie FE question. Does everyone label their FE gifts with their info? If so, what to put down (e.g. name, room number, Disboard name)

-Chun

I have been wondering the same thing. I don't mind either way but will need to print out a tag of some sort if we need to put who is is from.

 

[sherreis]

Hey Sherri - how was work today? Annapolis should have been gorgeous!

I kept taking advantage and would walk outside between our offices instead of calling someone or emailing. I kept saying "I want the sunshine."

We think we are going to do the tequila tasting and the wine tasting.

Last time we were on the boat we had had all the beers before and it wasn't worth it since we knew what each tasted like.

DH and I love tequila. A lot of people don't, but we are salty lovers.

 

[Ima Princess]

Michelle - would you please link the latest FE version? I printed it a couple weeks ago, but I know there have been some late additions.

Chuck

Fish Extender list

The updated map is linked at the top of the FE page. I printed them last night, so I hope there aren't any other changes (except maybe a port upgrade).

I got a call from DCL today -- OMG I was so excited! I've heard they call to offer upgrades! But, in my case, they were calling to confirm our REAS package. *sigh* Maybe I'll be with Chun in line for port upgrade options...

Been away from the board for a while. Finally doing the Cruise docs. . the website is soooooo slow. . I expected 'magical' website performance.

I am having the same problem.

Really enjoyed everyone last night and looking forward to seeing everyoneon the cruise.

OMG the page is still saving. .. While it's saving. . wanted to thank Wendy for the awesome magnet images for my boys (Halo and Buzz). They love them!

The Cruise shirts are also awesome! Thanks so much for making them. We got our first picture last night in them.

Which brings me to my next thank you to Judi and her hubby for a great Pre-Cruise party! It was so fun to see everyone again just before the crusie and to ask the last minute questions.

We had a great time, too.

Okay- so the wine package, anyone ever bought it? Is there a wine list out there? What about the beer tasting? Anyone thinking of that?

I have a wine list. You are staying at the Radisson? Can't remember. I can bring it with me.

Sweet - Tooth Garnish!!!

I forgot to pick up the dry cleaning again so I can't finish packing. Well, not forgot, I got there at 7:06 and was too late.

So DD12 has me working on a scavenger hunt now to keep her busy - she wants to "explore" the ship.... Like she's not going to have enough to do??!! Jenimant - warn your dd10 - she plans to drag her a long. Its a picture scavenger hunt. You have to get a picture of whatever it is with yourself in the picture if possible. Some might not be possible to get yourself into. I have no idea about prizes - but HEY! I forgot to tell y'all - the printed medals for the 1st annual turkey hobie sail boat race on castaway cay arrived! 1:30pm on Friday - be there or be square!! Had to go with medals, i have too many clothes to pack 6 trophies.

But back to the scavenger hunt that I created that was way more interesting than work today. Its pictures, of whatever and its divided into categories and you can ask a cast member for help but you can't look it up on line. Some are kids only, some are adult only and some may only be on the Wonder b/c that's the only ship I've been on before.

Pictures with Things:
- A monkey
- A sting ray
- Wearing a Mickey Mouse Graduation Cap
- With a circuit board (may be wonder only)
-In a pineapple chair (I know its wonder hopefully magic too)
-In 3 D glasses
- a Mickey statue
-A Mickey hand pointing to 5
-An Ice Sculpture
-On a compass
- of the cutest 7 dwarfs ever

Food:
a Mickey Waffle
a Chocolate Souffle (Adult only I think)
of No Dessert
a mickey bar

Places
Playing Shuffle Board
'IN' mickey ears - (hint - this would be your first picture- its at port)
On the water slide
On the secret deck
Steering the Ship (kids only)
in the secret passage way (wonder only? def kids only)
Singing Karaoke
shooting a basket
at a tea party
by Walt's cabin

Cast Members and other people
Pictures with :
The cruise director - anyone know if its Brent or Christian or someone else?
Of the captain docking using the joy stick - i saw this one morning when I got up early by myself - not to be missed! Very cool
W/Captn Jack Sparrow - bonus point if you're in a sword fight with him
w/all 3 of your servers
w/ your room steward
w/ a cast member that has the same name as you
w/ a cast member from New Zealand
W/ dustermom02(hey its my scavenger hunt!!!)

Also a point for every picture with Mickey in a different Costume.

I'm sure I can come up with more.

And this is totally off topic, but I have to tell you I've always told my kids if they tell me they are bored or if they say something is boring, that they owe me a dollar - I just think this world is way to interesting to say your bored. So when we were on the cruise 2 years ago January, we were in the elevator and a boy - maybe 7 or 8 - was whining and told his parents he was bored. My 2 oldest got these huge saucer eyes and stared at me horrified - i think they were worried i was going to charge him a buck too - but I just nodded wisely and whispered to them - that would cost them $5 at least if they told me they were bored on a Disney Cruise! And they nodded wisely back. It was hysterical and I wish I had it on video.

Off to do more laundry now.

You have waaaay to much time on your hands. Gillian is ready to roll.

Last night was a great way to get the party going.!

Finally finished everyone! We are staying at the Radisson and the wine list would be great. I also e-mailed the travel agent.

 

[Scullysiz]

Nighty Night. . Turkeys!!

 

[missjudit]

Nighty Night. . Turkeys!!

I refuse to nighty night until I get Gillian registered. Jennifer has to do her room but Cameron is listed in ours and Gillian with my Mom. Between air flights, passport numbers and Visa numbers and emergency contacts I am about done.

[lynnivey]

Just wanted to say good morning Turkeys before I jump in the shower to start my day! I'm on my bed getting puppy kisses! Looks like I'll be talking with my hands for a while since my voice is gone! I know my Dh will be excited when he finds out.

Have a great day!

How will we know if someone on the FE list has upgraded at the port and what their new cabin number is?

I don't want to miss anyone.....

Can any recent cruisers remember if DCL supplies a separate conditioner? I hate those shampoo/conditioner combos, so I usually end up bringing my own.

 

[SteffyLou]

Good Morning,

Yes, they give you a seperate shampoo, conditioner, and then lotion.

I really like all of the products a lot but I've heard of some people who do not.

Count me as one of them.

I always bring my own too, but then, I have weird hair.

Good Morning everyone.

Chuck - before I forget, thanks for the countdown.... it so makes my day!

Almost finished packing, have to get all my cameras and chargers together. Then we should be all set.

Have school tonight, so won't be able to post. Someday before I am too old, I will finish this degree... Oh well, atleast Taylor gets the benefit of realizing the importance of a good education.

Have a great day everyone.

DexH would be so happy if this happened to me!

Count me in! I find the shampoo & conditioner to be too "woodsy" fragranced for me and much too harsh for my "chemically enhanced" hair On the other hand, DD loves the shampoo and it's perfect for her teenager locks.
