This is pretty rare though and in general, most guests never encounter this problem. Not to say it doesn't happen - like u said, foolishness travels!
How many additional cabins are traveling with you? If u are doing it for all of them, you have a lot of crafting ahead
e.g. if you have 4 cabins including yours and are in a FE group with 20 cabins, you have to make 4 FEs (which are basically bags - I have seen some ppl just hang gift bags), then make at least 4 x 19 gifts (if u are doing one gift per cabin) or 4 x 19 x ~4 (if u are doing a separate gift per person). A LOT of items! If luggage space is limited, I would suggest choosing things that are small and packable.
For mine years ago, I ended up choosing to make one porthole ears magnet + one magnet with ship name and names of each person in the cabin + glow sticks for each cabin. It ended up being way more work than I thought especially since I was cutting the magnets into shape, etc. Participating in FE was fun though
My kids loved it and still talk about it.
