Each cruise we will have one or more swaps while onboard. The swaps for this cruise are listed below. Swaps are not mandatory, however, you will not receive swaps if you don't make swaps, so go make some swaps so you can get some of these really cool trades! We generally recommend that you make enough swaps to share with everyone. A current headcount of participants will be announced closer to the sail date. Samples of previous swaps are also available in the Photo Gallery in case you need clarification or inspiration!
Swaps for this cruise:
Secret Sister Swap - Each participant will be assigned a Secret Sister who will be revealed on the last day of the cruise. Sisters are to give small gifts to their assigned sister each day for the duration of the cruise. Examples of gifts could be a small pack of embellishments, a candy bar, or a coke. We recommend the use of a hanging organizer on the outside of your cabin door so your sister can leave gifts for you. Or, your sister might leave gifts for you on your table in the crop room. To participate, please send us an email.
Tags: For the tag swap, you will make one tag for each participant – all identical (or mostly identical). We will swap “Round Robin” where everyone gets one tag from each of the other participants. The theme for your tags can be anything related to cruising. Tags can be any size, but keep in mind that most participants will want to use them as embellishments in their scrapbooks or affix them to cards, so let's try to keep them photo-safe and scrapbook-able. We will swap tags during our late-night pajama party crop.
Other swaps TBA
Since many of you will want to take advantage of the full cruise experience, we would like to suggest some non-scrapbooking activities to do individually or as a group. Some of these activities have been added to the schedule (below), however, these times are only estimates based on previous cruises. Since the cruise line releases the shipboard schedule on a day-to-day basis, we have no way of knowing the exact date or time of activities until we get onboard. Please use this schedule as a general guide and we will hand out updates if there are any changes once we get onboard.
Suggested group activities include:
Formal Night Portraits
Group Photo
Disco Night
Karaoke
Ice Skating
Rock Climbing
Flo-Rider Surf Simulator
Deck Party
Musical productions
Casino night
