astros fan Posted January 5, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The excitment reaches its peak at the ding of the first check in (scanning the ss card). The relaxation hits with the first DOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacruizer Posted January 5, 2010 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The moment I cross the "threshold" from the terminal to the ship. I got a kick out of that "new ship smell" commerical a while back. My DH laughs at me because there's a smell that all the ships have that I immediately recognize as soon as I step onboard. That's when it hits me. Must be some kind of cleaner they use.

jayesouthworth Posted January 5, 2010 #20 Share Posted January 5, 2010 When I start packing, load the suitcases in the car, drive to the airport, and step off the plane when we arrived at our destination. That's when it sinks in... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holly_hypocrisy Posted January 5, 2010 #25 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Since I'm still awaiting my first cruise, I'm just guessing that it will sink in when I'm actually on the ship and checking out the room and unpacking and stuff. It still hasn't really hit me that I'm even going yet. It hits me in little spurts here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
