MrPete Posted March 26, 2009 #26 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For me, it's always trying to find that first meal after debarkation. Even more depressing when I'd be flying and the first place to find food was at some fast food hole at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunu Posted March 26, 2009 #27 Share Posted March 26, 2009 When I realized I had no reason to hang up a do not disturb sign on my door because no one else was going to even try and clean my room for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asburyfamily Posted March 26, 2009 #28 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The cruise never ends. I just think of going home as a long drawn out shore excursion. On next cruise will ask the Captain for political assilum to stay on board. ( hey it works in the movies.):rolleyes::rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DpTxQt31 Posted March 26, 2009 #29 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For me I realize the cruise is over when it is the last night and they sing there farewell song. I cry everytime. :( Then it is off to the room to pack and double check all of our receipts with the sail and sign invoice and then realize that my liver must be toasted by then.:eek::p Gotta love those DOD.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtalum Posted March 26, 2009 #30 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For me it's when, after being nice all cruise, they get rude and kick us off on the last morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'ma Posted March 26, 2009 #31 Share Posted March 26, 2009 When I get my room service coffee, pour a cup and step out on the balcony....only to see the Port of Miami........:( I immediately start thinking about the next one..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted March 26, 2009 #32 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For me it ends in reverse of how it begins. Hearing that last "doink" and stepping from the deck onto the Gangway......:mad: It's always hard to believe that only 7 days earlier my heart was all a flutter as I stepped from the Gangway onto the Deck and heard that 1st "doink" Where does the time go???? I can't wait until I retire so I can start taking B2B's......7 days just isn't long enough...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted March 26, 2009 #33 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Early morning --last day of my cruise :( That's my home port. I live ten minutes away.. and I'm up on top deck taking as many pics as possible -the time draweth nigh..:(:( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted March 26, 2009 #34 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For me it ends in reverse of how it begins. Hearing that last "doink" and stepping from the deck onto the Gangway......:mad: I think that's a very real threshold right there,okgirl ;)That last 'doink' and you're out onto the cold concrete dock -with zero possibility of back-tracking! At least we get to keep our ship-cards, and that's why those cards are an important part of cruise-holiday memorabilia It's the one small thing we can cling to...until Next Time! I have all mine -and you have all yours! _________________________________________ here's one of the saddest photos I ever took. That's Carnival Destiny. Our 'First Cruise' is over, and this shot is a last glimpse at the ship that started the addiction to the best-value holidays yet devised by mankind! ;) .

2snorkel/cruisers Posted March 26, 2009 #35 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The cruise is never over unless you don't have another one booked within thirty days of the last. Our next one is in Sept and I'm hunting our 2010 one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesinindy Posted March 26, 2009 #36 Share Posted March 26, 2009 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. I agree, the real fun is the ship itself and not the stuff on shore. In my post today I mentioned that I was already aware that it was almost over and I have not left yet. That is the real indication that the ship is the treat. For me it really starts as I walk onto the ship, I am aware to conserve my time and get the most out of what is at hand.

Thirsty Cruiser Posted March 26, 2009 #37 Share Posted March 26, 2009 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. You should not use "sink" and "cruise" in the same sentence. :p :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudaze11 Posted March 26, 2009 #39 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It always takes a few days to sink in for me. I get very caught up in the task at hand in getting the family home that I don't think about it right away. Then sometime in the next week, I find myself looking at cruise dot com or carnival and rccl websites. Then I know the post cruise obsession has come back again!

Our first cruise we were heading back to Galveston from Cozumel and it was dark my DH and I were standing in the front of the ship looking out and the guy next to us turned to us and stated "So this is how the people on the Titanic felt right before they sunk":rolleyes: I laugh about it now but I wasn't laughing then. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
