pathi Posted April 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Is the last week before a cruise. I swear it feels longer than waiting for my tour in Korea to be over! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2019 True -- that last week before the cruise can be a loooong one. Just spend time looking at excursions to make certain you have selected the ones you want to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted April 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I feel your pain - in my case it seems even longer, as I tend to sleep less because of the excitement of the upcoming cruise. Enjoy your cruise! Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacarolinagirl Posted May 2, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2019 It seems to last forever! LOL! Thankfully it will be a short work week and after work is busy! Counting down to the 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1TravelMom Posted May 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 7, 2019 pathi & DaveKathy Thank you for your service. Hope you have a great cruise. I agree - the wait seems longer as it gets closer. But for some reason, I am still always packing at 1 am the night before we leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted May 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2019 At the beginning of the week leading up to the cruise, my adrenaline starts pumping. It's nearly impossible to focus on my work. But, I manage until it's time to fly out. Even though we fly out the day before, when we board the plane, I'm wishing we were flying on a supersonic jet like the Concorde, so that we could be at the port city in about 10 minutes. During a normal day, three hours isn't really all that long. But why does a three hour flight on a plane seem to take forever? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike981 Posted May 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The week before IS longer. On the ship a week seems like four days. Blame it on the gods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qoap24 Posted May 11, 2019 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I booked our upcoming June cruise in Aug 18. I have NEVER booked so far out. Once we got into the 60's and 50's it seemed like those couple of weeks flew by. But now that we are in the 20's it feels like time has stopped! Not sure I can book this far out again. I don't think my brain and heart can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD Silver Posted May 11, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) I actually think the last week goes by quickly as I am so busy with: Making sure I'm caught up at work Packing Booking airport parking Stopping the mail Having dinner with my daughter Etc..... But it's all worth it for a cruise. Edited May 11, 2019 by LD Silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last week goes by so fast that sometimes I wonder whether I'll get packed and everything else done in time, regardless of how well I plan in advance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted May 11, 2019 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Depends on how busy I am elsewhere, sometimes I wish I had more time to get everything done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike981 Posted May 11, 2019 #14 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Oh god you just made my stomach turn. 😞 And as hard as I try to stay in the moment and enjoy everything, it still goes to fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted May 11, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 11, 2019 That last week before the cruise seems to drag a lot more now that we're retired. Before that, I was always so busy trying to get everything done that it flew by. Now - well, now that last week takes a lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
