When did it sink in that the cruise was over

[drivemecrazy]

For me it was on the way home and we stopped at Dairy Queen and I ordered chocolate melting cake and they didn't have it! And the next morning I had to make my own breakfast. Life is cruel.

[KroozFoolz]

When we stopped at a restaurant on the drive home and there were prices listed on the menu!

Cruise Over? It's not over...we're all just biding time until the cruise continues...so many ports...so little time...

Ok, now that you read that previous dream of mine...:rolleyes:

 

It finally sunk in when we got home and there was no towel animal nor chocolate on our (non-existent) comfy carnival bed.

When I got back to my cabin and the Grey Goose I purchased was there along with the customs forms.:(

[cruise87crazy]

When I get home and I see that no one has gotten my bed ready at the end of the night with mints on my pillow

My cruise started in Sept of 2007, and I refuse to believe it will ever end!!!

[Fat Boy]

When the Sail & Sign bill came.

 

Actually, after the 11 hour drive home, I stopped up the block from the house and let out that last little "it's over" sigh... Then I unloaded the truck and jumped online to start looking for the next one!

When those uncaring insensitive Carnival employees made me get off the ship. :mad:

It took us quite a few days to get on with life as we knew it before the cruise, lol. I think we were all a little depressed it was over.

 

I think cruising is going to become an addiction for us, we already booked our next cruise for November. :p

[falootin]

For me it's when i sit down at the dinner table and no one puts my napkin on my lap and there is no dinner...

Now that is funny! I tried to stuff some of that chocolate melting cake in my luggage...didn't look pretty when I got home...just kidding..had to go get that macaroni grill volcano cake...or whatever it is called..close, but no carnival desert, i just couldn't make the same noise!

I have to agree with you. How dare they put us off the ship just because we had that horrible U-Turn.

[ATLCruiseJunkie]

When I turned on my Blackberry before debarkation to check us in for our flight. Sigh... :(

[407dm]

when I got home and could no longer find the elevator to take me to the lido deck and the buffet

[GottaLuvCruising]

While packing my bags late on the last night and listening to the porters haul all the suitcases away.... You don't want to go to bed the last night because you know that when you do, the cruise is over. Let's take one more walk on deck or stop by a nightclub for a drink or toss a few more nickels into a slot machine...

[Lv2Camp&Cruise]

On the last morning when the promenade is eerily quiet and then when you hear the final "pong" as they scan your sign and sail to check you off the ship. :(

[Handsome58]

place my suitcases outside the door to be picked up......I know the end is near..........

[Frank12]

When I stop to buy gas for the drive home and the Chevron station won't accept my S&S card!:p

 

No, it really hits when I go back to the cabin on the last night and all of the alcohol I purchased is in my room.:mad:

[RAVI360]

waiting in the airport for the flight home....sucks:mad:

[DanBoy]

The moment I start packing on the last day..Or if at a Private Island, getting on the tender...It is soooooooooooo over for me....I am getting better though..Years ago I started getting depressed about it being over around mid week!!LOL

[may-fly]

Not until I walked into my office. Way too much fun to forget too easily!

[mistyinca]

For me, it was the last evening when I realized how much fun I was having.

 

It being my first cruise, I didn't realize that the cruise itself was the highlight of the trip. I thought I was there to see Mexico. After the second excursion I realized, "to heck with the excursions. The fun is HERE." When that knowledge really sunk in, it was our last day, and we kept the party going all night long--all the while feeling that if we continued to party, it would never end.

 

alas.

[surfclam2003]

When I trip over my stupid cat!!!!
