TheRejector Posted January 2, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Here I sit at work with my brand new calendar that I have just finished marking how many days I have left every day until my sail date. Is there a name for people like me. Is this condition treatable? I suspect a pina coloda and a cruise would help but only until my next booking.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted January 2, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Cruisitis and no known cure expect to book another cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitt Grey Posted January 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Now I see Cruisitis as an inflamation of a cruise. I think it might fall under the DSM as OCCD or Obsesive Complusive Cruise Disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patseacruiser Posted January 2, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2011 It's an OCD thing. I have countdowns everywhere - calendar, computer, phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted January 2, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2011 LOL.....too funny and I am right there with 'ya. Except I found a digital countdown clock - so I don't even have to mark a calendar :o ;) The countdown keychain hangs on my board. People stop by all the time and ask...."how many days?" ;) Just for the record.....20 days for my next cruise and 336 days until the one after that! ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patseacruiser Posted January 2, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2011 12 days until my next cruise but only 10 until I leave for Florida. I have multiple versions of my countdown. How sad is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patseacruiser Posted January 2, 2011 #17 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yes but at least I have OCD about everything. Now if I could go on a show and they cured it by giving me a cruise then you can sign me up. First thing I do in the morning is check all cruise prices, check if luggage tags are out yet. I have a white board next to my pc and I look over and check off the list every day at least 5 times. I'm OCD and neurotic - LOL LOL LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med2cruise Posted January 2, 2011 #18 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I have a driod and am going to check out the apps. I love this idea especially since now the cruise is in the current year. Happy cruising! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticd1 Posted January 2, 2011 #19 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Add me to the list of the countdown obsessed! :o My countdown started at 730 days. Last January 1st I put together a Word doc of all the important dates for 2010 and 2011. I included things like birthdays, anniversaries, yearly festivals that we attend, weddings, things like that. As each date passes I mark it off. I was sooo excited to finally be able to cross off January 1, 2011 this morning!! Then there's the new 2011 calenders...I have 2 of them filled with Saturday countdowns (we have 56 of those left!) and milestone days like 300 days to go, 250 days to go...etc..I keep going back to look at the now filled in 2010 calender and I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by! And if all else fails, I have my CC daily countdown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoastbaby Posted January 2, 2011 #23 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I've heard that crusitis is also very contagious ... :) I'm the same way.. Sad part is, I go on my first cruise in a week and I'm already planning a 2nd one my husband keeps rolling his eyes at me :p when I say if we like this cruise we should go on another for (xmas, b days, anniversary) :D I think I've been afflicted by the disease too..

TheRejector Posted January 2, 2011 Author #24 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Please give generously to the cruise line, destination of your choice. Remember someone you may know or love has been afflicted by this wonderful addiction just look at all those people on this site for example. And remember a cruise is a terrible thing to waste!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notawordok Posted January 2, 2011 #25 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Ship Mate cost $1.99 but the Always be cruising is free. The Blackberry does not have an app just for cruising but there are several other type countdown clocks that can be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
