10 Signs You’re Addicted to Cruising

Cruise Fever, also known as post cruise depression, affects everyone in a different way. For some it starts the moment they head back to work yet for others it begins at disembarkation and while standing in line for customs. Here are 10 signs that you have Cruise Fever and are addicted to cruising.

 

1. Every day you check your cruise countdown (via Ship Mate or other mobile app) to see exactly how many days you have until your next cruise. If this is one of the first things you do every morning when you wake up, you are addicted to cruising.

 

2. You check in online for your cruise and print out your boarding passes the moment you make final payment, even if your cruise is 75 or more days away. For some reason, this makes it feel like you’re a little closer to your cruise.

 

3. You begin researching your next cruise before you even start unpacking from your last one. Admit it, this is just about always true, especially after your first cruise.

 

4. If your friends and family members tell you that you talk too much about cruising, you probably have Cruise Fever. This also includes sharing cruise pictures and articles on Facebook.

 

5. When you head to bed at night, you get bummed that there is no chocolate on your pillow and your bed isn’t turned down.

 

6. When you go out to dinner and you miss having menus that don’t have prices listed on them.

 

7. If your Saturday and Sunday afternoons are spent watching the kroooz webcams (http://www.kroooz-cams.com) and watching cruise ships leave port, you just might have Cruise Fever. If you didn’t know that this website existed until now, you're welcome.

 

8. You’re addicted to visiting cruise message boards or one of the various cruise groups on Facebook.

 

9. If you find yourself constantly looking at pictures and videos from past cruises, it is a sign that you have Cruise Fever.

 

10. If you eat, sleep, and dream about cruising, you are definitely addicted to cruising.

1-2-3-4-8. But, I'm pretty much that way with any vacation. But we LOVE cruising.

[Sixtytwo]

I am a 1-3-6-8-9. Dang! I knew it was addictive! [emoji33][emoji12][emoji1]

[JimAOk1945]

All of the above! :D

[#1TravelMom]

Definitely addicted to cruising. I've convinced myself that my 1996 mauve sectional and my peach countertops look just fine! We keep taking family votes- update the house or book more cruises? Cruising wins every time!

Does the sectional give decent support when you are sitting on it? Is the countertop reasonably in one piece, with only small scratches?

 

If both of these even come close to a "yes", you have made the right decision. :D

If they don't come close to a "yes", you may have made the right decision. ;)

your signature cracks me up....lmao!!!!

You can not possibly get off one cruise unless you already have another booked.

 

When you have two booked, you are checking the dates the new itineraries come out.

 

You go upstairs and cannot remember what you have gone up for but you know exactly what you are going to eat on the first evening of your next cruise.

 

Thanks for the post, makes me feel I am not suffering alone!

1, 3, 7, 8, 10 and maybe bits of the others!

[PamJack]

Thanks for the link to the cams!

[Scrapnana]

If you like webcams and haven't seen them, visit the PTZtv webcams some complete with sound! And if you need a "cuteness break" from the cruise ships, they even have a "Kitty Cat Cam" (right now they have the most adorable kittens).

 

Here is the link to the Port Everglades webcam and from there you can choose any of the others (look in the top left corner - "Watch another webcam").

As to the OPs question, I am afraid I have it really bad - I am all of them.

[PamJack]

The PTZtv cams are great!

I think this from Cruise Critic lists out the addictions a bit better :p-

[OCruisers]

We always have to have a cruise booked! :D

[Velvetwater]

We should add to the list ;)

 

Number 9 is my guiltiest pleasure!

[simplelife]

#8 is my most significant sign of addiction.

 

I can add:

If every time you buy a new item of clothing, you consider whether it is cruise-worthy, you many be addicted to cruising.

I agree....I just wish they had the Long Beach Terminal webcam.

 

I'm following along my upcoming cruise through webcams.

I too, do the "cruise clothes" question. Love it!

[kelmac]

When I head out for a cruise, there is/are one, two, three or four future cruises listed on my signature.

I'm so addicted to travel and cruising that I have an actual "system" for booking cabins on cruise ships.(don't ask, but it works well)

My wife and I travel + - 10 weeks of the year, with 2, 3, or 4 cruises thrown into the mix. A "trip of a lifetime" should occur every three months!!:rolleyes::)

Hi Peter

[Pyrate13]

Hi Peter!

 

All of the above apply in different levels. :D 3,4.7,8,9, & 10 more regularly.

Hi Peter.

 

The first step of addiction to admitting you have a problem.

 

In this case, that leads to more cruising, which is good, whichever way you look at it.
