Welcome welcome Pollybrit! So excited to have you join in with us! You will LOVE your first cruise, it is just amazing and so much fun! Especially to celebrate two birthdays on board! Last cruise my oldest DD and I celebrated. Be sure you have it noted on your reservation and they will sing to you at dinner and bring a special dessert. It was really special!
Fish extenders... if you look on the main board and search I am sure you can find a multitude of threads about this. In brief, it is kind of like a secret santa gift exchange! You join a group, you get the list of cabins and families(how many adults, children and ages, etc) and you come up with something to give to each family. It can be one family gift or a little something for each person in the cabin, whatever you want to do! It can be bought or made, no rules except that you agree to deliver something to each family once during the cruise and you will hand a "fish extender" which will collect your gifts on one of your rooms! Thats it! If you have more questions just ask away! We have decided we are going to limit our groups to 10 families per list, and let families choose if they want to join more than one list... this keeps it a bit smaller which helps the expense and trying to haul stuff down there. If you would like to participate after reading this, just let me know and I can happily add you to our growing list. I would assume you will have one fish extender for your whole family? (We are a family of six and also have two cabins but just hang one fish extender). Anyway, just update me if you want to, and of any allergies in your family and if you want to be in one group or more.
rooandtigger I am so anxious to hear MNSSHP updates! Have a blast! So jealous!
yes we had a blast! it was so much fun and hopefully we will do it again soonAlright rooandtigger I am definitely jealous! My DD has been showing me your Instagram pictures and snap chats from the party tonight.....so awesome! Looks like a blast!
Yay! Something else to plan and look forward to!Added you Pollybrit! 9 families so far in group one!!!
Excursions for us looking at two for St JohnsAnyone thinking about excursions yet?!
For Tortola we really want to go to the Baths, probably through the DCL excursion.
For St Thomas /St John I'm looking at either the champagne catamaran or trunk bay beach excursion.
For Castaway cay wr will probably just rent a few floats. I ran the 5K last trip and it was fun but SO hot and this will be July so probably not this time!
We are flying in 2 days before and staying at POP with 1 day Magic Kingdom tickets for the fri. I am so excited as we were last there in 2012. Kids don't know yet about this part and it's KILLING me to keep the secret!
Post cruise we fly home same day.
Anyone else?
Hello Ruth! So excited to see a meet thread! I'm guessing you mean July 16 though yes? If so we are also booked on this cruise!
We are a family of 6 and next summer kids will be DD14, DS 11, DS 8 and DD 5. We are from Iowa. This will be our third cruise...we did the Dream in June 2013 and just did the Magic March 2015. Both were such wonderful trips we couldn't wait to go again so rebooked and settled on this week!
We will definitely be in for fish extender exchange and are SO excited to check out the Fantasy and the Eastern ports!
FISH EXTENDER LISTS-
Please PM me or post on the thread if you would like to join a FE group. We will limit to 10 families per group. If you have more than one cabin, let us know if each one will have its own FE or just one. We will close lists as we hit 10 families and start a new one. If you would like to join more than one list, just let me know and how many! Please let me know if any allergies. Rules are otherwise open, you can give a cabin gift or one per person and can deliver any day of your choice during the cruise. Finally if your plans change and you will no longer be cruising or doing FE please post or PM asap! Thank you!
