Sumar76 Posted March 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Have not been on a cruise since Tahiti in 2010. We have a cruise booked for this May to Alaska...have been there before but not for awhile and it is one of our favorite places. I have become completely obsessed with the whole cruise critic/ cruise " thing". Cannot tell you how many times a day I log on to see if there's anything new. I have about 7 weeks till I go....do you think I'll last till them????:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcvt Posted March 19, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It's so addictive there should be a 12-step program :D Thinking back to my first ever cruise, to Alaska, just makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzG Posted March 19, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The fact that you got so many replies so quickly shows that there are plenty of us who are as obsessed as you are. Enjoy it, and welcome to the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilter n Cruiser Posted March 19, 2013 #12 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This is a good addiction which so many of us have. me included. Our next cruise is the Wine Coastal and then with one day inbetween we will do Alaska and the Tracy Arm. So it is about 7 weeks to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woohooTOO Posted March 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I checked this morning and it is 38 days until my next cruise. I checked a few seconds ago and it is still 38 days. Anyone know how to speed up the clock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceba Posted March 19, 2013 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm so happy to know about you all!!! I have driven my hubby so nuts that now I have to sneak around...:eek: It's hard standing in closets with the laptop teetering on the vacuum handle :(. We went to Antarcticia in Jan and I had the driver arranged to pick us up from the airport in Buenos Aires in Sept. Then I worried that he'd forget because it was so early that i emailed him all the time. He's probably changed his email by now :cool: and all my contacts have changed their phone numbers:mad:. it feels good getting this all out in the open ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenie082756 Posted March 19, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My DH and I are rather new to cruising. Last cruise was 5 years ago and at that time I did not know about Cruise Critic. Now with our very long cruise coming up I get on here to read at least twice a day whether it is the news section, Princess or one of the other many interesting subjects for cruisers. I am addicted to reading on here..I find it educational, interesting and hopefully something amusing to make me giggle quietly as my DH says, "You are on CC again?" :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillslife Posted March 19, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Me too! CC hints and tips make the planning so much fun...love meeting new friends and feels like family when you board. I, too, am a CC- holic ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumar76 Posted March 19, 2013 Author #21 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Oh wow! What a coincidence! Are you sailing princess to vancouver? Yes.. We are doing a 4 day land excursion first. Princess Diamond. We didn't get our air from Princess and had to change our flights once already. Not a big deal. We usually like to get in a day early but can't this time.. But not too concerned as we are starting on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerjan Posted March 19, 2013 #22 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sumar We're doing 10 day eastern caribbean ... but not til Nov 29th. Seems like such a long way away...:( But like so many others, I love the planning. Gives me something to do during these cold snowy Michigan days.
