This is torture!

[mirrajay]

I always scoffed at the people who would post something such as: "I cant make it through work these last few days before my cruise", but now I totally understand! This is torture!

 

This day has gone by so slowly and I can only imagine that tomorrow and Thursday will go by slower.

 

I say we start a "support thread" for those of us leaving this weekend on any ship. I know its not just me who is struggling through the longest week in recent memory! :)

[halos]

You have my deepest sympathy. I understand.

Hang in there!! :D

[SevenVII]

Well this colorado cruiser has quite a few days till my true torture begins...but I feel for ya!

[serene56]

I understand too. and if you think what you will be doing this time next week it makes the time even more slow.

[mirrajay]

LOL thanks for the pity :p

 

And yes, Serene - that is what pushed me over the edge. I was talking to my boss about where I would be next week and all my concentration went out the window. I am officially worthless at work! :)

 

Seven - where in Colorado are you?

[ArkansasFish]

We leave on NLC Sea on this saturday. But my problem is not the time going slow, it is that the time is going fast!!

I had too many things to get done before Friday!!!

[hstrybuf]

I totally sympathize with you! When it gets about two weeks before the cruise its seems I can't concentrate on anything unless it's about that cruise!

[Snowball]

The last week before a cruise is the worst!!! I just know ahead of time that for the week before and the week after my cruise I'm going to be totally worthless at work (not that I tell my boss that ;) ). I just try to help the time pass by listening to my cruise music, going over my packing list, looking at my Carnival brochure, and reading virtually every thread on cruise critic. :D

 

 

Halos - I love that signature. GO EAGLES!!!

[tricktsm]

mirrajay I understand your dilema...I only have two more days of work ( I took off friday to pack) We are sailing out on Sunday..however flying to texas on saturday. I ammm sooo excited I haven't been sleeping just dreaming about it. :)

[jemingway]

I think it's worse torture NOT to be going on a cruise in a few days.:D

[Guest CHIEB2812]

I too know how you feel, we leave Saturday on the Sapphire Princess to the mexican riveria.This has been the longest week in history!

[mirrajay]

Fellow upcoming weekend cruisers! I am glad I have found you :)

I made a CD to listen to on the plane/in the cabin/whenever and I think I am going to take that to work tomorrow and listen to it when I think I just cant take another moment. Its full of songs that either remind me of past vacations or that I have "assigned" to this vacation.

 

trick - I love that you took Friday off to pack! Thats something I usually do before vacations also, but since we are flying to NYC on Friday, I didnt want to push it with the boss this time :)

[fanofseas]

mirrajay....We are going on the victory right after you get back. Tell the crew when they get into Norfolk to look for me I'll be the one with a foo foo drink in both hands..LOL. Have a great cruise and hope to see a review from you soon.

[klfrodo]

Just think....

 

In 10 days you'll be back to work.....:)

[basketballmom]

Jemingway is right, just imagine not going on a cruise in 4 days! Look how long I have to wait!

 

To all those sailing this weekend - have a great time and I am so jealous!

[SevenVII]

Lamar, CO....little city in SE

[mirrajay]

klfrodo - thats mean! And so true! :)

 

And basketball mom and jemingway are right...it will be worse when I dont have a countdown clock to look at at all.

 

I will certainly post a review when I come back.

 

Only 14 more hours of work to go...

[Babs1121]

Can't believe we are leaving this Saturday. I have been slowly putting things out that I will be taking. I work at home and I keep stopping to check and see if there are any new messages of interest so I am really not getting much done. Happy Cruising everyone. I have enjoyed and appreciate all the information that everyone has posted for this cruise.

[lmondrop]

Ahhhh...the agony of the art of patience! We all go through it! Some worse than others....By the time go time comes I feel like I belong in a mental hospital!

 

But whats worse.....is the agony of knowing that there is no cruise plans in sight...at least for now :(

[estebofarr]

We're leaving Saturday on the Sensation!

 

CHIEB2812

Will you post a review of the Sapphire when you come back? We take her in January and want to know everything.

[Slinkiecat]

I'm just as impatient, counting down to two cruises as well as to our return to Florida after spending the summer in Ohio. Just keep planning, shopping, more planning, and before you know it the day has arrived and the bags are sitting by the door!

 

Have a great cruise and let us all know about it!

 

Two days till we fly south!

[1tonysmom]

I feel your pain :D We are at 58 days and counting down until our Glory-ous cruise. Fortunately for me, I am off work the two days before we leave, so I can get into that "cruise frame of mind". Keep your chin up. You'll be on the ship before you know it. Have a foo-foo drink for me!

 

Joanne :)

[mirrajay]

Woo hoo! Today went by very quickly - I had a small crisis to sift though, so it actually took my mind off the cruise (always look for the silver lining, right?). Luckily, I think I have taken care of the crisis and can now focus on my cruise and the nerves that are slowly building up inside my stomach as I reach the ONE DAY TO GO mark! :eek: I thought this day would NEVER come! Nothing left to do but wait and do my best to get at least some work done tomorrow. I think I will set all the clocks in the office to sound an alarm at 5:00 when I am officially free!

I thought I was in agony because this is my first cruise, seems like it will be worse for my second one!?!?!?

[NeedstoCruise]

Hi There,

 

I wanted to ask you some questions regarding your trip last Thanksgiving on the Glory. I could onlly assume that it was a good experience since you are going back. I am travelling that week this year with my DH, DS14 and DS12. Would you mind contacting me via email to answer some questions? Thanks.
