Sitmar Lady Posted July 11, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 11, 2016 This is going to sound terrible but you know you are obsessed when you hear there is a fire in Santa Clarita, CA and your first thought is, "NO, not Princess Headquarters"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchip Posted July 11, 2016 #32 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) When you have just arrived in your cabin at the beginning of a cruise, go out on the balcony and you get wildly excited because the next ship you are cruising on is docked beside you!

candigirl Posted July 12, 2016 #38 Share Posted July 12, 2016 You know you are a cruise addict when you go to Seattle on vacation, are up in the Space Needle having a late brunch and you know the names of the ships that are departing for Alaska. My husband just shakes his head..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedom750 Posted July 12, 2016 #39 Share Posted July 12, 2016 When you take 4 hours and several modes of transportation to get to the ship, then wander through a line for 2 hours to get through customs, get on the ship for a one day cruise, get off and travel home and say "that was great".

oldmanonthesea Posted July 12, 2016 #40 Share Posted July 12, 2016 ... you call your hotel room a cabin! When someone mentions the name of any cruise ship, and you tell them where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planning is Half the Fun Posted July 12, 2016 #41 Share Posted July 12, 2016 All of these are hilarious. I am overplanning for an Alaskan cruise with friends and starting to irritate them with my high interest area. At least now I know I'm not the only one. In addition to 2 countdown clocks, I've counted out the perfect amount of moose confetti and every day I tape another one to my workspace. When the herd is complete, it's time to GO! 38 more days.

jackyfromwyk Posted July 13, 2016 #42 Share Posted July 13, 2016 You know you are obsessed with cruising when...you check for a new cruise every day, looking for the right price! Guilty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrain Posted July 13, 2016 #43 Share Posted July 13, 2016 You know you have OCPD when: Your packing list resembles a NASA launch countdown checklist...AND ITS STILL NOT RIGHT! You have dedicated 'cruise stuff' drawers... You have a dedicated packing room... You have dedicated cruise wear - with laundry tags from last cruise still present... Your cruise price comparison spreadsheet contains quadratic equations to estimate your bar tab and miscellaneous expenses based on past expenditures....which are tabulated in other tabs Your cruise price comparison spreadsheet contains the actual and priced cruises back to Excel V 2003 - because you just can't stand to lose that past pricing data...just in case... You anxiously await the next version of the Princess port schedule spreadsheet - and when it arrives you spend hours giddily highlighting what you want to do... You are zeroing in on a particular cruise, salivating, imagining, anticipating - but when you find out is right after a drydock you go into a depression... Your printouts to take on a cruise (maps, schedules, receipts, reservations, tags) require you to order more ink for your printer at home... Your 'stuff' (soap, shampoo, pharmacopia, cleaning supplies, cameras, electronics, reference material, first aid kits, flashlights) to take on a cruise exceed by 2x the amount of clothes... Your pharmocopia can treat any disease anywhere in the world and takes up half a suitcase... You read the post asking when a particular cruise schedule from Princess is coming out and knowingly and haughtily scorn the OP because you know it won't be out for another 43.5 days, BUT read the responses anyway because someone else might have inside information and YOU WANT IT TOO!

ccrain Posted July 13, 2016 #48 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've never been on a post-drydock cruise. Why would the negatives outweigh the positives? They actually start work on the cruise before, tearing stuff up, piling up supplies. In some cases actual contractors come on board to start laying stuff out. And everything they don't finish in drydock gets done in the following cruise(s). There are quite a few reviews on the boards for pre and post drydock cruises.

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted July 14, 2016 #50 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Obsessed with cruising? That would be when you're just spent 4 to 5 months on cruises and are on the plane flying home, still at the gate, and a friend texts you about a great deal on a cruise in a few weeks, and you use those last few seconds of Internet access to see what airfare would be to fly to it. Still on the ground. In the disembarkation city. With suitcases full of dirty clothes and months of mail waiting for you at home. That was the moment when I realized we were lost causes. And then we repeated the same exact thing the next year, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
