JPV072900 Posted February 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Well I certainly do!! The other night, I had a dream that my family and I had just arrived at the port for our cruise, and everything was going perfectly. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I realized that I forgot to pack our IDs to get onboard! I couldn't face the problem, so I woke up!! BUT THEN I COULDN'T FALL BACK TO SLEEP!! Does this ever happen to you?? Ever since I almost forgot my birth certificate for a cruise back in 1996, I have always been terrified that I would forget someone's birth certificate. I literally check 20 times before we get to the port. I have pulled the car over before to double check. I'm a little crazy about it!! Anyway, just wanted to know what others worry about leading up to their cruise!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPV072900 Posted February 2, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have my Excel spreadsheet too!! It comes in quite handy... I still get scared that I'll forget though!!! :-D Sent from my LGL33L using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted February 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yes I have, forgetting our passports and scrambling to get them overnighted at our port departure city. That makes me check that about 30 times before leaving the house! *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfcathorse Posted February 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I always have a "nightmare" before a cruise (2-3 months before). Usually it's the one where I can't find my cabin or as the ship sails along it gets smaller and smaller until I'm in the water. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDawg Posted February 2, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 2, 2018 YES YES YES!!!! I always have nightmares before going on a cruise. Not about forgetting my documents or missing a flight. They are always about the whole ship being populated with those nasty, opinionated CC members who just have to comment on everything. The nightmares have me worrying about possible misteps I might make for the CC policing crowd. When I enter the MDR, are my shirt sleeves long enough? Did I leave my lounger alone for a minute too long? I can see them looking over my shoulder to make sure I tip extra enough... and go tusk, tusk when I tip extra enough but too early. Will they find out that I didn't buy travel cancellation insurance?:eek: Thankfully my nightmares haven't become reality...............................yet.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 2, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2018 We have learned to keep very organized with To Do lists and we start early so we don't have nightmares. We do look froward to the cruise. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelplus Posted February 2, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2018 No luckily I don't as everything is printed off months in advance and my Passports are in a safe place and are ready to go 2 days before the trip. Worst dream I had is tgat my cruise skipped our port and we got bonus cruising days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted February 2, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Never - but now after I read your post, who knows? The thought is implanted, yikes! JK...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 2, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Our first cruise was before computers came along. So I wrote out lists and then typed them up. Once computers came along, I was able to save my lists and update when needed (like for prescriptions). Thus -- no worries -- no nightmares.

SewMuch Posted February 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Its not exactly a nightmare, but I have occasional dreams where I'm on a really huge ship and I can't find my cabin and can't remember the number. But then I also have dreams that I'm back in high school and can't remember where my locker is, or where my next class is. So I figure they are just different versions of the same thing. And I'm also one of those people that check I have all my paperwork about 20 times on the way to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always super paranoid about my ID and/or passport WHEREVER I travel, even a quick flight for business. Do I have my wallet? Yes, I've checked 57 times now...but 58 will be safer. One of the things I like about being on board is putting all that stuff in the safe and forgetting about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH25 Posted February 2, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 2, 2018 My hubby has had two about our upcoming cruise. One where he was waiting in the wrong part of the theater to go on our excursion, so they didn't let him on the tender, but made me to. I had the paperwork, so they wouldn't let him off the tender and I had to snorkel without him. I promised him I wouldn't let that happen. The second, we had a big fight with the couple we were traveling with and divided the ship up. They had to stay on one side, we had to stay on the other.

LeCricket Posted February 2, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Before our last cruise; i dreamt I accidentally brought our fat, neurotic, old yellow lab on a two week cruise. I didn’t realize she was with us until we got into the room. Oops! I woke up in a panic!!! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my grandmother telling me about her dreams about being late for trains, etc. And she was probably the most prompt person on the planet.

SPacificbound Posted February 4, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 4, 2018 No nightmares, but I do have a moment just before the car gets here to pick us up for the airport and I do a double or triple check of prescription meds and passports and boarding passes.

MomSwag Posted February 4, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 4, 2018 We had a cruise planned last year. About 6 months before the cruise date, I had a dream that I walked out onto the deck and it was covered in water. I then realized we were sinking. Oddly enough, it was a very calm, peaceful dream. I wasn't scared or anything. We ended up not going on that cruise because my mom's health began to decline and we had to postpone it. Oh well!:confused::confused::confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 4, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Not that specific nightmare but I have dreamt that the crew of a large ship sailing the high seas encounts pirates. I end up having to save my girlfriend who is kidnapped by a bunch of pirates. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted February 5, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I work in ticket sales for a large arts center in the south. Used to be, before I cruised, i would have nightmares about people wanting to buy aisle seats for the theatre shows on the ships. They all want aisle seats!!! It was because they used to allow gold level members attend the past guest party, and they got free drinks easier the closer they were to the aisle. Since gold clubbers are not invited anymore, just platinum and diamond, they stopped having the guest party in the theatre, and since I am not platinum or diamond, I don't have to worry about where foks sit. But trust me, I would really stress from these dreams, as there were more people who wanted aisle seats, than there were aisle seats! Nothing worse than a mad patron.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DandDM Posted February 5, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I’ve dreamt a few times that I am already on the cruise I’m planning for. But in my dream I’ve made no plans, sometimes I haven’t even brought any luggage. In real life I plan maybe too much... I’m sure the dreams are my sub conscience exploiting that.

amydresh Posted February 5, 2018 #23 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Before my first cruise last Jan I had a dream that I was on board and I had forgotten my cameras. I was so worried about my cameras and unpacking that we forgot to go have lunch and wander the ship. I also had quite a few dreams about leaving my luggage at home and having nothing with me. I have had that last dream a few times already about this upcoming cruise. I have been non-stop planning my packing list and have already started packing so it has been on my mind and I think that's where the dreams come in.

Always packed in my backpack along with passports. Word of advice....have a plan, test the plan, then execute the plan. Then, when you are on board....RELAX!!!!!!!!
