luckyinpa Posted November 24, 2016 Author #26 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I was in a daze of happiness on my first cruise- I couldn't believe what we'd missed all these years! So soon we had three more cruises booked on three different lines... It took us a while before we settled to one longer cruise on a favoured ship, and kept the short cruises of a week or so to try other lines/ships. Still enjoying the search. :cool: have you ever been disappointed by a new ship you chose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartbda Posted November 24, 2016 #28 Share Posted November 24, 2016 i really regret not buying an NCL cruise next certificate because all i could do for weeks after i got back from my 1st cruise was look at prices and plan my next one. i'm going again in a few weeks since DEC is dirt cheap, but now i already started looking at next year and even other lines to see my options out of my local area. how does one stop this addiction? i fear family and friends will be at home one day with an intervention. Maybe watch this.:eek: ^^^ Even a bad day on a cruise is better than a good day at work.:D Not so sure about that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 24, 2016 #29 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Maybe watch this.:eek: ^^^ Not so sure about that. :D WOW, a wild ride. I would think that the ship has lost power otherwise the captain is a fool for not heading into the wind / waves. That would stop a lot of the rocking.

Eleteace Posted November 24, 2016 #33 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I have pens which say 'I'd rather be on a cruise'. I love having them at work so everybody knows in those long meetings where I would rather be.... ha ha. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothFlying Posted November 24, 2016 #37 Share Posted November 24, 2016 :D Please share when you find the cure! Sent from my iPad using Forums I'd prefer that 'final' cure (the final 'sailaway') then sitting home landlocked and accidently see a television ad with one of those BIG beautiful white MOUNTAINS sailing majestically on the bright blue ocean and feel..Well, you know 'that feeling', the longing to be THERE. :( Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Christine Posted November 24, 2016 #38 Share Posted November 24, 2016 There is no cure for the cruise addiction. You need to just accept that you will have the addiction for life and surround yourself with like-minded people who will help you to feed your addiction.

jocap Posted November 24, 2016 #41 Share Posted November 24, 2016 have you ever been disappointed by a new ship you chose Only because we didn't think it through... we wanted to try a vast ship which was sailing to the fjords, and the weather was terrible, so the ship was crammed inside; all the pools and many activities were outside, including a sea screen, which were unused for most of the trip. That taught us not to sail on a ship built for the Caribbean in Northern Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadpirate3 Posted November 24, 2016 #42 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I wish, but have to earn the $$$$$ to pay for the next one. Same here. Money and vacation time from work and graduate school are the only things keeping me from cruising every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs and mrs Posted November 25, 2016 #47 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Take a close look at your finances and things you need (new car, new roof, remodel the basement....) to see how buying a cruise is hindering you from getting what you need. SBtS Or take a look at your finances and things that you don't need (new car, New roof, Remodel the basement...) to see how buying these things is hindering you from going on a cruise, which is what you need:):):) Edited November 25, 2016 by mrs and mrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
