gentlemancruiser Posted December 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh Gawd yes, my first cruise had two sea days back to back, I didn't know what I was going to do with TWO FULL days at sea and no land. Worried me alot, guess what- I LOVED IT. 10 years at 16 cruises later, I'm still loving sea days and cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fischymom Posted December 1, 2011 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I did not get cold feet but I did get nervous about if I forgot some vital piece of the vacation needs, ie did i have transfers from hotel to plane, plane to ship, enough gas money reserved to make it home. Did I remember to hold mail, shut off this or that.... you get the idea. But once we were out and going I calmed down and it was AMAZING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherilyn70 Posted December 1, 2011 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yes, I have experienced the cold feet part. It's that doubt because after all of the excitement you've felt... just what if the cruise isn't everything you expected? You begin to second guess yourself if you planned the right vacation and if it will be worth all of the money you paid for it. :) But the second you get there you'll realize that's just silly and have a ton of fun.

duckwalker82 Posted December 1, 2011 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I did really bad, I even had a couple of nightmares as time grew closer for the cruise. I was cruising with two girlfriends and had such a good time when I got back I booked a cruise for me and my hubby so he could experience it too. Now we're both hooked!

Cruisingmanforlife1 Posted December 1, 2011 #12 Share Posted December 1, 2011 After 194 days of waiting and now 9 days short of our cruise...I'm getting cold feet (for the lack of a better term). This is craZzzZy. Has anyone else experienced this?:confused::eek: As far as cruises go I have never really had "cold feet" except on one cruise when we left from Virginia with snow on the ground but the Southern Caribbean warmed me up in no time! :) Now I did have "cold feet" last year during our Shore Excursion in Alaska last year when we walked out on a Glacier ....but not this time of year...LOL.... A picture the guide took of us! I say check your heart beat (from all the packing and last minute planning) and throw on some warm slippers -- You'll be fine in no time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted December 1, 2011 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I briefly had cold feet on my first cruise. Itbwas a last minute decision - just booked 4 weeks before sailing and was so busy at work, didn't have a lot of time to stress about it and the girls at work that were all ardent cruisers were very encouraging. However on thenFriday night before sailing, I started wondering what on earth I was thinking about doing this. On the way to the airport the next morning, I was certainly getting nervous and worried that I was going to hate being cooped up with hundreds of other people. By the time I arrived at Venice airport, I was planning my strategies for what i was going to do if I really hated it......and before I knew it, I was in a taxi heading for Venice and the anxiety started to fade as I took in the view.....and then I got my first glimpse of the beautiful, gleaming, (to my eyes) enormous white ship docked in the lagoon and all my worries faded to be replaced by anticipation and excitement. Once I set foot onboard, couldn't beleve how spacious and elegant everything was and from there on, I was hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunkie4 Posted December 2, 2011 #15 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Make a list so you won't forget anything, pack half the clothes you think you will need, and have a great time. Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Wilburforce Posted December 2, 2011 #16 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't know that I got cold feet as much as just worry about all the things that could go wrong. It's human and perfectly natural when you're facing a brand new experience. You'll feel all that anxiety disappear when you catch your first glance of the ship! Good luck!

jocap Posted December 6, 2011 #21 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yes, I usually get cold feet, partly because there's so much to organise before hand, and I sometimes wonder why I'm putting myself through all this turmoil when it would be easier to curl up with a book and a cup of tea. But, luckily, I have the memories of walking up the gangway, and knowing that at last I'm on board.....and there's little to match that feeling!;) Jo.

Cruisin' Chick Posted December 7, 2011 #25 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Didn't have any qualms about the cruise, despite not having any sleep for two weeks before the cruise. Not because I was nervous, but because we had a major earthquake and the aftershocks kept happening even at night. Got a halfway decent sleep onboard.
