You know your kids are CRUISERS when...

[CeleBrat]

...on a recent vacation to a land based resort, they kept referring to their hotel room as a cabin. As in, "Mom, let's go back to the cabin and get our toys for the beach."

 

!!!!!!

or when you go into a local restaurant and they try to order an appetizer, entree and dessert all at once.:)

[gelo7]

or when you are in a hotel, and they want to know where is the "kids room"?

[abitaturbodog]

Or when you're pulling out of the port's parking garage and they ask you when the next cruise is going to be.

Ain't that the truth.

 

How about... when they tell you? On our way home from an Orlando park vacation last summer, our daughter turned to me and very calmly stated that we should really just cruise from now on. :)

Everything he takes into show and tell is from a cruise. A rock from Belize, a shell from Cozumel, a shirt from Key West, etc, etc.

[crusinmama06]

OMG I am laughing at ALL of these cause they are all so true!

 

When your 4 year old brings home a class book that says "Jimmy likes Candy. Suzy likes puppies. Mary likes Kittens. GABRIELLA LIKES CRUISE SHIPS!" :D

 

And from my 8 year old - the hotel room does have a BALCONY RIGHT MOM? :rolleyes:

[Crusin6]

When they calmy ask what time the dinner seating is. And we are eating at home!

[Batch007]

when your 3yr old asks daily - is today Cruesday (sounds a bit like tuesday!):p

[notentirelynormal]

When you ask your 3 YO GS if he wants to go to the buffet for lunch (you're thinking Round Table Pizza) and he says YES! Then my DD explained to me he wanted to go to the buffet on Deck 14.

Our kids fight over who gets to wear the FunShip Freddy hat to school for crazy hat day . . .

 

[nybumpkin]

When you get on an elevator and your 8 YO says, "What deck?":D

[Julienatul]

When you ask your 3yr old DD what she wants to do this weekend and she says "go to the magic show or see the girls dancing show". She loves the shows on the cruise.

[Dr_DNA]

Every picture that my 4 year old son draws me involves a cruise ship. :D

[abitaturbodog]

This just happened at dinner tonight:

 

Mom to DS (12): Eat your pasta

DS: It's dry

Mom: Put more sauce on it

DS: I only like real tomato sauce like on Costa

 

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Thanks for the laugh! That was funny. I love it.

We haven't taken our kids on a land vacation since they discovered cruising. I wonder if my kids would do the same.

[jilllofalltrades]

When your childs teacher asks what he did over spring break and your child says, "went to Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Aruba,.........." and the teacher sends home a note about your child telling tall tales at school.

[CanadianTwosome]

Ha ha ha ha ha This is an awesome thread! It's almost like an 'inside joke' for cruising parents...

 

Here's one I like: Your daughter's new formal gown arrives and she eagerly sheds her sweats to try it on and spin!! (note the girl is a tomboy who wears pants ONLY when not on a cruise ship) It's one of the things I love about cruising with her... she dresses like a girl and she's happy to try just about anything on the menu!!

 

At home when I suggest either (outside of a piano recital), I get 'the look' and the explanation, 'That's different, mother. That's a cruise.' :p

[CeleBrat]

Here's another as well...

 

When you approach the port in a crowded bus full of passengers, and everyone is trying to figure out what OTHER ships are also parked at the port. And your DS calmly says, "That's a Costa and Carnival ship."

 

Their jaws drop.

 

DS just smiles and says, "You can tell by their smokestacks."

 

That's a CRUISER!

4yo DS (who's only cruised once, but knows we're cruising again) loves to sit in my lap and look at photos of cruise ships that I Google...!!!

[crusinmama06]

When your child would rather watch Samatha Brown on the Travel Channel than Spongebob...you have a cruiser. ;)

 

(just happened in my house. Hey guys spongebob is on. No! We are watching the ship mom :rolleyes:)

I second that emotion!!!!!!

[siestakim]

Every year when we ask my son what he wants for his birthday, his response..."A cruise."

 

Well it works cause we're leaving for his birthday cruise in 3 weeks.

[MommaOML]

When your 2 year old is handed a toy cruiseship/sees one on TV, and he can correctly identify it as a "ship" rather than a "boat".

[robsmom]

You know your kids a cruiser when....he asks if you will "come turndown my bed".
