Wow, I remember when we talked about when I did 30 days aboard (Dec 2014) and you said, you didn't think that you would like a cruise for that long and I said, it is very easily done, you will not get bored if the itinerary is right.Now you are looking at 75 days aboard. I am impressed.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 22, 2015 Author #182 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I cant believe how quickly the time has gone either. That's the trouble with cruises....the waiting for a cruise seems to take forever , but once you are on board and underway , the time speeds by. Its been great taking a virtual cruise with you , and Diamond , as you circumnavigated the big Island of Australia and then around NZ. Welcome back and have a safe journey home.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time and money always seem to be the issue. Often I only get to have one of these (time) and not the other (money) but occasionally things fall into place and I can line up both for an adventure.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
to_dee Posted November 22, 2015 #187 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I reckon I would be perfectly happy to do a 75 day-er :D. I wouldnt be bored. I love the sea days. The only thing is after our last cruise I felt gruesome for 3-4 days - post ship vertigo. I wasn't sea sick on the ship at all but afterward I felt so dizzy, not ill just uncomfortably dizzy. I couldn't look at a pc screen that made it worse so it was hard getting back into work mode LOL. I was fine by day 4. I wonder does post cruise ship vertigo feeling get worse if you cruise for longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

to_dee Posted November 22, 2015 #190 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) I can't answer that as I have never suffered from that , just from 'Not being on a cruise depression'. Oh those symptoms can be alleviated ...book another cruise so you can do a countdown again ;). On day 4 when I felt fine again post cruise...I booked our next one LOL GUT maybe get some future cruise deposits to offset your post cruise blues :p. It'll be tough coming back to normal life after such a long cruise. But wow what an adventure. Going around Aust & NZ is a major bucket list tick. Maybe you could make one of those photo books of your adventures. Edited November 22, 2015 by to_dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 22, 2015 #191 Share Posted November 22, 2015 That is how I always deal with it by having more booked. The Future cruise credits are great and can work out really good if used on the right cruise.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did get a few cruise deposits. It has benn wonderful. Will try and find time to put together but of a review, hard to know where to start and what to cover.

I suppose it is due to that you need to be on board to get the benefits and if it was a gift, that person may not have been on board. Therefore undermining it's special nature and benefits.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 23, 2015 #195 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I reckon I would be perfectly happy to do a 75 day-er :D. I wouldnt be bored. I love the sea days. Ditto.:D I wonder does post cruise ship vertigo feeling get worse if you cruise for longer? I had really bad post cruise vertigo after our first cruise (13 days) but very little after our second cruise of 9 days. I put that down to exceptionally smooth seas on that cruise. However after our last and longest cruise (17 days) I also didn't have much post cruise problems so maybe the body adjusts if you cruise regularly. The big test will be our upcoming cruise from Auckland back to Sydney next month. I doubt that one will be smooth sailing all the way home.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the fact that I used up my future cruise credits already so I need to cruise again so I can buy more credits LOL. Are you doing anther run on Diamond AKL/SYD?

No, we're on Celebrity Solstice for that cruise. The ports suited us best on that cruise. I just hope the weather behaves so we get to Dunedin to see my brother.
