cruisinmeme Posted March 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I still have the NCL app on phone from last cruise. Now when my next cruise showed up on the app i get a real kick out of watching the days go by for this cruise. Every night at 1:01 (my time… which is 12:01 eastern time) i click on my app and watch the day change. Sorta silly but it is the little things. Also sometimes it is fun to click on the menu for a restaurant just to see if i might change my mind about what i might order. Yeah too much time on my hands. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Happycrafter123 Posted March 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2023 It’s exciting to have a trip to plan for and look forward to—I always feel half the joy of a vacation is the anticipation. When is your trip? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted March 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I agree mine is Dec 10th or 12 and I still like looking at the days to go reminds me when I need to do certain things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneyberlin Posted March 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Totally, I always do this. Here in Australia, it’s happening at 3pm and I’ve figured by now that this is midnight Miami time. And I certainly don’t have lots of time on my hands but vacation trumps stupid work any time in my eyes so I do what my boss always asks me to do, I “prioritise” 😁 For us, imagining our upcoming vacation (and, while we’re at it, planning w dry ever so tiny detail…) and discussing it up and down is almost as important as the actual holiday itself. Likewise, basking in memories from past trips. As you might have gathered, I’m not a big fan of my job (or my career but in your mid to late 40ies it’s getting a bit too late to make big changes without sanctifying your lifestyle) and those thoughts/talks is what gets me through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare amygutman Posted March 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We have 6 cruises coming up in 2023-2024. I set up my laptop so I can see the countdown to the next cruise …. When one comes up, it falls off the home screen. Makes me happy every day. I look forward to cruising so much that we literally got home from a cruise this Sunday, unpacked, and I was on YouTube within an hour eyeballing cool things for our end of April Getaway cruise. Not only are not alone, I would suspect there are many more like you than not. It’s a lovely little addictive habit. Warmest, Amy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mearsfansinboise Posted March 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I also find that I get way more engaged and active here on the NCL boards the closer we get to a sailing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov2727 Posted March 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I do! I know when it rolls over to 100 the time starts flying. It's the stretch between 300 and 150 that lasts forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't done this before (I'm usually not up that late!) but I tried it last night and my days to go didn't update, even after closing and refreshing the app. Now I'm worried about check-in.

TheycallmeFlip Posted March 21, 2023 #13 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I have sticky notes at my desk that I count down. When it gets down to double digits it feels like the cruise will be here before you know it. 73 days. Flip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine will not work unless i put my phone on Wi-Fi . In usually keep my phone on data cause it is faster. But i switch it to Wi-Fi and bam it works.

Nilbog Posted March 21, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 21, 2023 My wife and I have widgets on our phone that tell us how many days left before our cruises. It shows on our home screen (without even unlocking it) and on our initial page. Don't even have to open the NCL app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
