I have been asked what a FE is. On the port side of
DCL ships, there is a fish clip by each cabin. A Fish Extender hangs from the clip and has pouches on it, so folks can deliver their goodies. On the starboard side, the clip is, I think, a seahorse. However they are all called Fish Extenders.
If you go to Etsy or EBay and look for Fish Extenders, you may be surprised at how many people make them for sale. You can hang gift bags or make your own, what you see on board is varied.
I made mine.

I really enjoy the FE. Hopefully these photos will help as well. If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Many of us here have participated in the past.
I posted a lot more photos a few years ago here:
September 29,2013 - DVC Member Cruise if anyone would like additional ideas. Enjoy
this was our sons 3 pocket FE which we used for the Alaskan Member Cruise.
He ordered it online 6 years ago and it has held up really well.
You can see all the great door magnets we received as gifts (plus the one I bought from Tracy's King Crab Shack)
the gifts really do vary. Some (like ours) were 1 gift for the entire stateroom and some were individual for every member in the cabin.

This collapsible hamper was included in the above gift as well. Very practical and we made good use of it.
our cruise was before the new alcohol carry-on policy. Not sure how that affects FE gifts such as this going forward.
it included beautifully engraved shot glasses.
A few more examples. The packaging can be just about anything. there really are no rules.

Here's our 4 yr. old grandson thoroughly enjoying several things once we returned home.
finally, this was our gift. we solicited local vendors to give a sample "Taste of Alaska" and distributed them the morning before we docked at our first port in Skagway, AK.
ps I have more FE photos from this years Alaska member cruise. I was hesitant to post them in case any cruisers plan to replicate their gifts but I'm happy to if there are no objections.
