papajak Posted July 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The best way to overcome this is to face it head on and BOOK IT! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajak Posted July 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Ugh, I know that feeling. Our next cruise isn't until MAY :eek:., But, as of today, we are under 300 days!. My husband just rolls his eyes at me. Maybe you can sneak a way for a long weekend fix...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daboyz1223 Posted July 25, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted July 25, 2011 well we had our anniversary cruise, then got a gift from that (baby girl born in may) so we took a cruise in jan while DW was preggers, but not too preggers to cruise, and now we have to wait until our little baby girl reaches that 6 month goal for her to be allowed to go.

papajak Posted July 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Congrats on the wonderful cruise souvenir! These boards really help quiet the addiction. Good luck passing the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted July 25, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2011 We were on FOS a couple of weeks ago. We were only going to do the $100 Decide Later...but we booked a cruise to E Med!!! We have been so excited that we haven't had the usual depression that settles in after our long awaited cruise is over. This cruise isn't until June 2012, but we are already back here on the boards, planning and plotting. Impulse buys aren't always a bad thing :D.

Lesinindy Posted July 25, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I was really looking forward to my cruise in December when the urge hit me also. As you will see below I got the sickness and RCL got the cure! We leave in 19 days. Folks at work know I am an addict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temple1 Posted July 25, 2011 #12 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I know - I had to change our next cruise from Nov to Feb because we took a 4 nighter this summer and now have to change our plans for Freedom. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm61 Posted July 25, 2011 #15 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I suppose ours was an impulsive buy , found cheap cruise ,booked next day , then paniced ,then really worried ,then paid son the deposit & paid hotel , started filling up suitcase ( well had to put my new gear somewhere) then payed all the cruise money ,booked & payed for train fare , now we have reached the milestone of just getting our spending money together , & only started in January with no clothes for cruise or passport ......it's been worth the worry & excitement :Dcan't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboyz1223 Posted August 8, 2011 Author #16 Share Posted August 8, 2011 well we finally booked a cruise!! it wasn't exactly an impulse buy, but it was one that i chose because of the criteria i was given, first week of january, and... ok i guess that was about it, we decided on the liberty out of ft. lauderdale going to cozumel. i really wanted to just go on this ship, since it looks so awesome, we could've driven in a circle in the middle of the ocean, and i'd be excited. ahhhh 148 days...
