caribophile Posted November 8, 2011 Author #27 Share Posted November 8, 2011 You know you're addicted to CC when the website isn't enough any more, so you follow CC on Twitter and 'like' the CC Facebook page. BTW ... if your addiction hasn't escalated to this level, you should try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olemissreb Posted November 8, 2011 #28 Share Posted November 8, 2011 when you look to CC for advice on where to go on vacation 3 years in advance of said vacation! (BTW - thanks for all the advice I've gotten about our Alaskan cruise that we will be taking in 2013 (should be booking in May 2012 or as soon as the bookings open up) - I've still got questions and I'm sure CC will have the answers!)

dln929 Posted November 8, 2011 #30 Share Posted November 8, 2011 ...when you read this post for confirmation that you are not the only crazy one who's addicted!

We are thinking Alaska will be our 2013 destination and will probably book when we are on the Eclipse next June. Love this thread.....I'm not alone! You certainly are not....me too!

njaloha Posted November 8, 2011 #38 Share Posted November 8, 2011 When you check everyday and realize nobody has responded to your new thread. :confused: So you feel bummed because you want to feel LOVED by the CC community; you need that high. :cool: Then you realize, it's all good, the love's flowing, the high's there, because you're cruising in a matter of days, weeks, months, years, whatever. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargoK Posted November 8, 2011 #39 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi All, Great topic !! You KNOW you're addicted to CC when... You haven't even gone on your first cruise yet and have gotten totally caught up in the wonderful "enthusiastic" buzz that exists here on the Celebrity Board. When I first joined... I thought... WOW these guys are like a private little club and they ALL seem to cruise so often... (lol, I must be missing something at 50+ never to have even been on one cruise) 5 Months Later... the cruise is booked (and 2 months away)... I read all the posts to learn as much as I can... and LOVE the great info, photos, videos etc and LIVE Reports that everyone is so willing to share. Thank You !! AND I already am pretty sure that Mr Sloop & I will be booking our 2nd (and maybe a 3rd) cruise while we are on the first one... looking now at the Summit to either Bermuda (May 2012) or to the Southern Caribbean (Winter 2013) :D --- --- --- Lol, this is just sooo funny. I ran into friends we hadn't seen in quite awhile recently... and in catching up they mentioned they were going on a cruise... "oh wow us too.... so where are you going, and who with ?"... I asked enthusiastically... and the reply was very similar to the the one above.... "Honey, who are we cruising with?" "And where are we going again?" "And which cruise line?" Forget WHICH SHIP these guys didn't even have a grasp on the basics... needless to say on the way home in the car Mr Sloop and I were gabbing away about how much better our experience was going to be in that we were so much more prepared. But then we are planners... couldn't imagine going on vacation and not knowing stuff like WHERE exactly I was going. I mentioned CC to them... but I get the feeling that they aren't the type to do much research period... Guessing the next time I run into them post-cruise, they might be telling us what they didn't enjoy... :rolleyes: Cheers! You are sooo right. I discovered CC just after booking our Dec 2010 cruise with SIL & BIL. So the addiction started.... They just could not get it. Even once on board they were a bit 'stand-offish' initially about meeting my new friends, but by the end of 12 days they had kinda got it! Nine months on, a few comments keep popping up from them. "Our friends are going on a short cruise as a test", "Then our friends have booked a long cruise, but they haven't even done the first one :confused:" NOW its "Next time we cruise we should take so & so along with us" :D For some it just take time to sink in. We are off on our own this Dec and have already met one couple from the Roll Call when they were in town.... The Roll Call is flying along, and it looks like another great bunch... SO that is why you become addicted - its the PEOPLE on here ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yayvacation! Posted November 8, 2011 #41 Share Posted November 8, 2011 [quote name='Glendakayself']when you quote Cruise Critic posters as authorities in all of your conversations--even when you are not discussing cruising or ships.[/quote] This. Double time for when I am discussing ships/cruising! Me: The cabins will be ready for us to enter at 1:30pm DH: how the hell do you know that? Me: Cruise critic! Addiction is also present when: You tune out in class to read the latest post You get positively giddy when a new menu lineup is posted from a recent cruise You spend time figuring out how to get on CC through your phone so your future employer doesn't catch you online :):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
