By some miracle I found my 2014 ones, I'm recycling a couple from then and some new ones too! Hope you find them 👍

I'll be reusing our pirate door magnets from last year and adding new ones as well.

I haven't got the cases out yet and probably won't do until the week before we go as they just get in the way. I am however buying bits and pieces and storing it away in drawers. Of course the drawback with this is by the time I start to pack I can't remember what I've bought and where I've put it!

You need to leave a list of where you've put stuff lol

We put any old magnets on the door ... they're all from previous cruises. I like to reminisce!

Ive got some old ones that come along every time, so glad I could find them!

Just had a thought!

This has got to be the quietest planning thread I've been a part of so I'm wondering do you think the amount of UK cruisers has reduced? Or are we just not so chatty and know what we're doing?

I think it's because there is a fairly active Facebook group. We're not big drinkers either so can't really join in the mixology chatter!

Really excited about the cruise!

Glad I did online check for my inlaws as I knew they would forget - they told me last week they had forgotten all about it you can tell their not dibbers!

I agree FB has taken over from forums unfortunately.
Over many years I have been to great DIBB & DIS meets (not just cruising) the build up threads have been great to be part of. Unfortunately since the rise of FB the forums have not been as good, most people opting for FB. I do post the odd thing on there but don't get involved in anything.

[Bats]

I do both ... I help the newbies on here generally (not this thread, but the Dibb in general) and I do FB too, although I hate it! :angry:

Ah yes that's a good point, damn Facenook!

Well done doing the in laws online check in, double daughter in law brownie points I'm sure!
