Hey Heather!
So let me ask you this, did it cost you to switch the cruise? I heard now they are charging you to switch.

 

[Stefanie Peacock]

Okay I'll raise my hand to organize the fish extender. Send me a private message with your stateroom number if you have it, the names of those in your cabin, ages, favorite character(s), and email address for later when sending out the list.

Sounds good!

woohoo!!

 

[hjvigz72]

Wow! Thanks Clari for stepping up!

It did cost me $500 more, but not because of that. I think it's timing. The week I switched from is likely less popular? I had to switch to this cruise because our school vacation week got switched. I booked through Dreams and they did not charge me.

 

[lobster212]

HHII!!!!!
ssoooo excited! just booked this- this will be our 3rd cruise but first 7 day!!
there are 4 of us. me my husband dd14 and ds6. we are from massachusetts

 

[lobster212]

this sounds great to me!! very excited I don't have my cabin number yet I should have it on Monday

we are a family of 4
husband- matt
wife- Alison
daughter- Jodee she will be 14 her favorite is peterpan
son- Danny he will be 6 his favorite is Donald duck

this will be our 3rd crusie we have cruised on the dream and the magic both 3 night cruises very excited for the 7 night

my daughter has an instagram and twitter and on the last cruise most of the teens got into contact with each other before the cruise so they would know people and they all had a blast together.

my email is lobster212@comcast.net if anyone is interested in getting the teens connected- also I am from massachesetts and very excited on planning this and dreaming of a time with no snow

Going to try to answer a few of the FE question. First I am keeping a running list of those that want to sign up for this. As we get closer to our sail date and we see how many cabins have signed up, I'll ask if you are comfortable with giving to all who signed up or say only 15-20 cabins.

What you give, either one gift per person in the cabin or one cabin gift is up to you. This should be fun, please don't stress about this. If this is your first cruise and you want to participate there are many, many threads about what you can give.

The Facebook thing, well I don't really know how to do that, but for now we are all here. And you can always send me a PM if you have a question.

Let say that the end of Jan 2015 will be the cut off for any new people to join the FE list. That way people still have time to finalize their gifts.

 

[hjvigz72]

Clari - if more than 15-20 cabins sign on will you split the FE? (For example, if there are 40 cabins split it into 2 groups of 20?) This is our first cruise ever and we only happened upon the FE completely on accident. We are totally excited to do it because we think our daughter will love it. Just trying to plan ahead. (WAAAAAAAAAAAAY ahead!) LOL!
