kenandteri Posted May 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We booked last month for our cruise on the Inspiration from Tampa on October 3... But I don't want to wait another 130 days... I wanna go NOW!!! I have all the funpass info completed and printed out, know what we're doing on our excursions, and know how I'm smuggling in a little alcohol... I've read all the reviews and looked at everyone's pictures from their cruise. Scoured CC for all kinds of great ideas and helpful hints... Can I go now???? No... wait a second... I still have to lose at least 25 pounds, buy some new cruise clothes and save up at least $500 for our onboard bar bill... guess maybe that 130 days will come in handy!

*Mach* Posted May 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm just outside of 150 days 'till my next cruise so I understand completely... You'll love the Inspiration! She was my first Carnival ship and each time I've sailed on her it was fantastic!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the anticipation, I remember when we were over 100 days and it just flew by. We are now down to 17 and I can barely think of anything else. My friend and I text each other every day with our countdown calendar. You'll have a wonderful time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carncruiser1964 Posted May 25, 2011 #11 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Leaving on the Inspiration on June 9th and cannot wait! Haven't sailed on her but have been on the Imagination 2x's. We live only about an hour from Tampa so this is our favorite port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%... that's why I can't seem to get much work done... too many cruising thoughts running through my mind.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceB Posted May 25, 2011 #15 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I agree the waiting is not fun. At least you have less days to go than I do. One thing I do to pass the time is check my cruise price every day to see if it is lower. I have gotten 3 price reductions so far which gives me a few extra bucks for DOD's.

spideyfam Posted May 25, 2011 #16 Share Posted May 25, 2011 135 days is great. Think of it this way, in 135 days it will be all over!! Sorry, I am a half empy sort of guy!!!! Just kidding. I have 108 days to go. It was well over 200 when I booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw68 Posted May 25, 2011 #17 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have 556 days to go! Yours sounds much better. Lol. WOW!!! 198 days doesn't sound so bad to me anymore. :D I hope it goes quickly for you. OP, if I could go today I would be there on the Dream, so I know exactly how you feel. Can't wait to go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewD65 Posted May 26, 2011 #18 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thats what I have been doing these past 100 days. saving every bit I can. I am planning for $500.00 alone on just my bar bill. But usually I only spend about 375 including gambling the entire trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
