Booked another cruise - cruise addict here!

So my whole family (5 of us, including my MIL) sailed on Elation to the Bahamas for my 40th in November. (Our second cruise)

 

And now, the most amazing deal has popped up so we are headed to Cozumel in October with just my hubby and the kids (4).  Oceanview, deck 5, on the Fantasy for less than $1500. I’m floored! Maybe this isn’t a great deal to you guys but we booked this price 7 years ago for just the two of us. Been to Cozumel twice already but we don’t care! The beach is the beach and the ocean is our happy place!

 

Just wanting to express my giddiness!

 

Now I’m off to budget, but AARP cards, and lose some weight so I can feel sexy(er) on the beach!!

 

What are you guys planning??

I promised my wife that I wouldn’t plan another cruise for at least a year after we returned from our last cruise in February. I didn’t make it one month. I have now placed deposits for two more cruises! 😂 I’m going to hold off on telling her though. 🙊

Cruise on the Sunshine in 36 days, already booked for the Elation same time next year, and if we like the Sunshine, gonna book the Radiance for a 8 day in 2021. If they had 2022 sailings up, I'd be looking at those too! :classic_laugh:

 

 

I may have a problem...

Love to see there are other cruise addicts out there! DH and I have our 49th cruise coming up in April and our 50th next January (35th and 36th on Carnival). We were only going to do one cruise this year, sailed on Holland America in February,  but we know how that goes. Still looking for one in Nov. or Dec. 😉

I booked the Sunrise from NY to Bermuda in September for my mom's birthday. I never book that far in advance. Seeing 200 days, 190 days when I went on Carnival's website was driving me nuts so I booked the Paradise for May. Got great casino deals, so why not!

I definitely have a strong case of cruise addiction. We currently have 18 cruises booked thru February 2021. Our next cruise starts tomorrow on Horizon, so the number of bookings will drop by one 😕.  The last cruise we currently have booked is Mardi Gras in February 2021. We live in Florida; several of the cruises are shorter 3-4 day long weekend cruises. It helps being able to drive to 5 ports in 4 hours or less.

It really is addicting!

.

Whaaaat?

I get to do NO DISHES for a week. Oh the horror!

 

Wife doesn't get to make the bed for a week

nor does she cook a thing for a week!

 

That's what's addicting - the escape from normal boring life on land.

Wow! So are you averaging 2-3 per year, or more? I am aiming for one a year....if we lived nearer to a port it would be more for sure.

You really can't beat fall pricing. I used to always do one summer vacation a year until I realized I can go once in the spring, and once in the fall for almost the same price as one summer vacation.

This is so true! I wasn’t planning on booking but the price for four people was just too good leaving from so close a port from us!

Wow! I'd love to see my cruise manager with so many bookings! LOL

We live in south Florida as well so we definitely try to fit in at least 3 a year. We have been on 2 so far this year and have an 8 day with all my in-laws for the week of Thanksgiving on Magic and can't wait! We'll definitely try to squeeze in 1 or 2 before November tho 😉

I think I was born to cruise. We've got our 25th cruise for our 25th anniversary to Alaska coming up April 23rd.  The addict part is I just got back from a cruise to Mexico, took our Grandson for his first cruise.  And I already had our next cruise booked for a B2B on the new Panorama in Jan. 2020.  I also already had a Dec. 2020 for our Grandsons 2nd cruise.  LOL  I am a Cruise Addict!!! and proud of it.  Just couldn't resist the pricing on the 12 day from Los Angeles to Alaska.  Bonus, after booking my Interior cabin, because this is where the great pricing was, the upsell fairy calls and I get a balcony for only $430 total.  It was $2,000 more if I booked myself.  So feeling lucky, look out casino, here I come.
