frequent traveler Posted July 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I catch myself checking this Board everyday - even when I should be working . . . and checking the SD site to see if any new cruises have been added to the "specials" so I was wondering --- what are the other signs of addiction to Sea Dream?

ctbjr1309 Posted July 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2009 what are the other signs of addiction to Sea Dream? FT Good idea for a topic, FT. Here are a couple that spring to my mind: 1. Counting down the days to November 8, 2010 starting in April, 2009. 2. Your friends or colleagues are traveling on SD and you are insanely jealous.

Your friends or colleagues are traveling on SD and you are insanely jealous. You caught me ctbjr:p Here are my contributions ... 1. Using Bvlgari products to remind you of being on the yacht. I admit my perfume of choice is Bvlgari Green. 2. Joining Twitter so you can follow the yachts. 3. Joining Facebook so you can follow the yachts and your SD buddies.

hm21999 Posted July 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2009 How about lurking on these boards reading the reviews, and planning your 2011 December wedding around a SD honeymoon? We are waiting for them to post those itineraries! And we havent even been on the boat yet! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DisneyJen Posted July 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have another one to add ... not sure how I missed it:eek: You own a copy of SeaDream's cookbook "Dream Cuisine: An Adventure for the Sense" and proudly display it in a cookbook holder in your kitchen:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted July 22, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) When your wife is FT, you don't have a choice. Not that it is a bad thing. Heck, I just love to cruise and being pampered never hurts! Edited July 22, 2009 by zqvol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joining Facebook so you can follow the yachts and your SD buddies. my own adds to #1 and #2 in my first posting 2. not joining Twitter or Facebook because you know you will get fired if your employer ever does an Internet Audit 3. After saying "never ever" multiple times publicly on this Board to a 5 day cruise because its too short, signing up for a 5 day SD II cruise anyway (Dec. 13 for inquiring minds) with the justification that its a good way to introduce your grown children to a small ship . . . and ZQ Vol is on semester break . . . and its so cost effective . . .

Jim Avery Posted July 22, 2009 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Good Thread Frequent Traveler but SD jumped the price on a lot of the upcoming cruises. I will have to start selling blood to finance my habit. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to start selling blood to finance my habit.J. LOL, Jim. Maybe we should start an SD Addicts storefront on E-Bay. We could all gather stuff and sell it there to finance our SD habit. Then, we'll use the proceeds to charter one of the yachts, staff it with our favorite crew members and live the high life on the first ever CC SDYC Cruise. Champagne, Gin & Diet Tonics, Red Stripe and Pain Killers for everyone! Any takers? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there are enough CCers out there now to consider it again. It would have to be one heck of an E Bay sale to pay for a week long charter! Having signed off on a couple of corporate charter contracts back in the days when companies took customers on incentive trips - either a Letter of Credit or 25% down is required at signing - then another 25% down fairly shortly thereafter and payment in full way in advance is required. And since a week runs more than $500,000 . . . . that's a heck of lot of blood Jim:eek: I guess that's why we call it an "addiction" FT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhenry Posted July 23, 2009 #14 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Can you be considered an addict if you've only sailed once but can't stop thinking about how wonderful it was and how you wish your life weren't so complicated that you can't plan another voyage for awhile but you keep checking these boards (and writing run-on sentences?)

Yessir, you can. The exact same thing happened to us, so we boarded again six months later. Now, looks like we can't get back onboard until at least 2010 (I'm pushin' for the crossing in Nov. w/ my DH). So, I'll be on this board and working on my blog for my fixes (and trying not to write many run-on sentences myself :)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unlike SeaDream when you leave your cabin and come back seemingly in just a few minutes and it is all neat and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frequent traveler Posted July 26, 2009 Author #25 Share Posted July 26, 2009 you know you are addicted . . . . when you look at the last ripe banana on the kitchen counter at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and your only thought is that its time for Super Mario or Gary to make your daily frozen banana dacquiri with kahlua.
