LOL! Sailing in October, so I'm in the same boat (hee hee), so, I just check my prices everyday in hopes of a reduction. Right now, I just want to get through this long, long, winter........

Harveycm Posted February 26, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Not sailing until December :( I am just looking forward to being under 9 months away and then will start looking forward to being under 8 months... and so on. I wish I lived closer to Florida, and I would totally book a short cruise in the mean time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi2you Posted February 26, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Start a rough list of potential items you want to pack, possible souveniers in various ports you want to buy or look at, research excursions....so much to do. The time is dragging for me as well. .....rebook your cruise for tomorrow.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will spend lots of time on CC chattin' with all the other cruise addicts :D Bonjour Quebec, comment ca va? Sorry to say that is pretty much it for my French-wishing I hadn't dropped the course in highschool. I went on the tour you are doing next year, last year. Half Moon Cay was fabulous-the entire trip was, even rainy Grand Turk-the only day it rained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about San Juan, but a friend of mine LOVES it there, so I'll make sure to get info. LOVE St. Thomas, and will probably try Coki Beach. I believe March is the "dry" season...I'm keepin' my fingers crossed! Nice chatting! Glad to hear you enjoyed the trip! I know we can hardly wait.

I wasn't crazy about San Juan the first time I was there-night arrival-so we didn't see much, went on a horseback excursion(the horses ignored us and listened to the guides). The last two times back, I have loved it. If you enjoy shopping, there are some great shops up one of the main streets. I think it is Forteleza. Last year my sister and I did a Segway tour-so much fun. We are bringing another friend along this time who has never been, and are letting her play on the Segways with us before we set sail.

jdcml Posted February 26, 2011 #14 Share Posted February 26, 2011 217 here... We are actually going with some other family members with 5 cabins total. We started a Facebook "group" and I post a cruise Picture of the Day each day to keep us in the spirit. I thought it was a great idea when I started it, but I have recently realized that posting another 200+ pictures of the Dream could be a challenge. There are lots of food pictures to post. At some point over the summer I'll probably post pictures for the ports and rotate those every week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip! I'm not a big shopper, but I like browsing and people-watching. I think I'm more of a "foodie". Would love to try some authentic cooking. Just being somewhere different will be great. I promised my son we'd bring him to see the forts etc. Segway sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caljencruisers Posted February 26, 2011 #16 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Start a countdown blog! Vent about your day, talk about what you've done for the cruise, why you're taking it, who's going, etc. That's what I did:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrybaby412 Posted February 26, 2011 #17 Share Posted February 26, 2011 When I booked my upcoming cruise....13 days wooohooo, my countdown was over 700 days. Yours is a piece of cake. Seriously though, research ports, make lists of things you want to do, need to buy, etc. The time will fly by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingRaysfan Posted February 26, 2011 #21 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I started at 247 days on the clock back in September. Felt like FOREVER to wait!!!! I joined the roll call, went through a phase where I made myself forget about it, and picked up something here and there that I thought would be cool (the COOLEST cruising luggage tags from Walgreens for one). I'm now at 90 days and I think it's gone by relatively fast... YOU CAN DO IT!!!! But I do like the idea of booking a couple short cruises in the meantime! I always want to do that and DH never goes for it. oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrybaby412 Posted February 26, 2011 #24 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Unfortunately I didn't have much choice. I lost my job and had to postpone my original cruise. And I recently lost my job a second time in 18 months. Luckily everything was paid for and I'm going ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
