Prof Peg Posted October 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2012 How long after you get off the ship does cruise withdrawal set in? Cruising only once a year is getting physically painful with shorter and shorter periods before I start the withdrawal symptoms. Soon I'll be hanging on to the cabin door and refusing to let the next guests in!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Cruiser_1 Posted October 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2012 For me, it starts when I turn my smartphone back on and all the work emails from the week start dinging. Makes me want to jump back on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxGuy Posted October 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Usually by the time I get out of the terminal and to my car. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILUVCRUIZN Posted October 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2012 For me it is when we are on our way to the airport headed home after our wonderful cruise is all done...:( Just do what we do, book another one as soon as you get home and then your fun will start all over again. I personally love the planning up until the next cruise then just repeat after that one is over.... :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMSACE6 Posted October 5, 2012 #12 Share Posted October 5, 2012 For me it starts the minute I step off the ship. My cure is to book another for the following year. For various reasons I have not cruised in two years, but I finally took the plunge and booked one for Nov 2013. I know it is a long way off, but I feel better now.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually feeling bummed when they left the luggage tags and disembarkation information in our room.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruisin4cruisin Posted October 5, 2012 #21 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Don't flame me for this, but it takes a few months. Usually, we are discussing the next trip on our cruise, but to be in withdrawals, it will take 3 months or so. I think it is because of spending a lot of my life on/near the ocean that I can handle it better. Either that or I am an emotionless pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted October 5, 2012 #22 Share Posted October 5, 2012 LOL Bruisin4, living close to the ocean should help. I used to live near the ocean, and that was long before I started cruise vacations. Now I live inland and the closest body of water to me is a river! River just doesnt do it for me!:D Since starting to cruise, I have gone as long as 3 years,and likely will again between my last cruise and my next planned one! Three years of cruise withdrawal, is brutal, let me tell you! But as long as I have one booked, I can cope.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live near the ocean, and that was long before I started cruise vacations. Now I live inland and the closest body of water to me is a river! River just doesnt do it for me!:D Oh, I do not live near the ocean anymore, I am stuck inland, like you. I have 3 ponds in my community, as far as I know, I am the only person to put a boat into one of them...lol. Each one is about 1/3 acre in size, so you can see how desperate I can be to be on the water. I was born on an island (Long Island), was in the Navy on a ship that spend over 320 days at sea in 1 year and is an Aquarius. I AM A WATER BOY!

SMSACE6 Posted October 5, 2012 #25 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yep, Bruisin4cruisin, I think we definitely are missing the ocean, and what better way to reconnect than take a cruise vacation!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
