green eyed lady Posted May 31, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Actually, you are definately NOT alone! My kids think I've lost my mind, but I want to get as much info as possible before we sail! So I am always on the boards. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted May 31, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yes, you are definitely a sicko! I can't imagine spending so much time on these boards! (yeah right) You are definitely not alone. If I had a dollar for every time I check the boards, I'd be able to cruise much more often.

Hawaii697 Posted May 31, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I too am a Sicko. Since I'm group leader of our cruise next year, I'm on the boards now doing some research.

weswas Posted May 31, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I am right along with all of you...My hubby and my kids think I am SICK!!! I even check the boards from work. I spend most of my computer time doing "research" or at least that is what I tell everyone UNTIL WE SAIL AGAIN....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianroberts2526 Posted May 31, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I;ve only been on the boards a couple days. But I think I;ve reached sicko level. Especially since I am a 20 year old guy, my girlfriend thinks I am nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codfish Posted May 31, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 31, 2004 my wife calls me a sicko too, but not because I read these boards. I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with mirrored glasses and the funnel deck but seriously, she's pretty darn happy I did "research" our first cruise. in the first place I saved us a bunch of money, got us upgraded to a cat 11, had all our shore excursions planned, and last but not leasst, we met the most wonderful people as part of the Cruisin' KRAZY Caribe Crew all thanks to these boards. If that makes me a sicko, well I don't want to be cured!

luvscruzin Posted May 31, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Here's another "sicko" to join up. My daughter and DH think I'm addicted, too........I sometimes have to negotiate with my daughter to get my time on the computer, just to check out the boards. But, I've gotten so much helpful information from just reading the varied posts. I WILL be prepared and have our excursions planned and booked. 7/10/04 Carnival Triumph Carnival Holiday 6/94 Dolphin Seabreeze 7/96 (now sunken!)

kywildcat Posted May 31, 2004 #13 Share Posted May 31, 2004 There used to be a group on here "Openly Addicted to Cruising". Maybe we need to revive it. Sort of like AA! We could have meetings on a cruise ship! Anyone else want to join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyM Posted May 31, 2004 Author #14 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I am laughing so hard at all of your posts! I am so glad tht I am not alone!! My DH called me a sicko when we were planning our Disney World trip also until we got there and I had everything planned out so perfectly. He then said how glad he was that he married a sicko because I saved us so much time and money at Disney because time is money there...lol I also landed us a great shipboard credit from reading these boards and again, he had to thank me...He will learn some day that it pays to be married to a sicko.

camreesmom Posted June 1, 2004 #16 Share Posted June 1, 2004 sign me up as a fellow "sicko"....oh, well, it is nice to know that I am not the only one! My DH thought that when we got back from our first cruise that I would be done with the boards but I just booked another cruise and when we got back from that one, I booked TWO more and still have another one planned already!

morriscats Posted June 1, 2004 #17 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Me too - although I think we could come up with a better name for it. Not only do I come here several times a day, I print out all the stuff I need and make small books out of them (and with Marks reviews they are indeed books) for reading while we are just sitting around. My DH was amazed at how I knew just where to go and what to do on our cruise last October. 8/29/04 Carnival Pride 10/13/04 Celebrity Mercury Nordic Prince 1993 Disney Wonder 1999 Celebrity Mercury 10/26/03 Carnival Pride 8/29/04 Celebrity Mercury 10/13/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyM Posted June 1, 2004 Author #18 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hello fellow "sickos"..Hope you are having a great day!! My DH can say what he wants to, but he will thank me. Trust me...

Rare dickinson Posted June 1, 2004 #19 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I admit it. I am a fellow addict and totally drunk with knowledge! On our last cruise we were in a cab to get to the ferry to go over to St John when another couple mentioned they planned on doing that later in the day. When they saw I had a piece of paper with all the ferry times they ditched the island tour they were going to go on with the cab driver (after he dropped us off at the ferry) and came with us!

halos Posted June 1, 2004 #20 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Count me in. My DH asked me last week if I had an addiction to these boards. I couldn't look him in the eye and deny it.

hstrybuf Posted June 1, 2004 #24 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I think I qualify as a sicko, but my husband doesn't say a thing. He just rollllls his eyes. Of course, he doesn't complain since I plan all our cruises, make hotel and air arrangements and pack his suitcase!
