Two weeks to go, how do you cope?

[pleisher]

Two weeks to go until DW and I sail on Navigator. This will be our third cruise. I teach at a college - have a week of classes and a week of finals. Lots to do, but am reading CC obsessively. What do you do to cope when the excitement builds?

Read Cruise Critic excessively. :D Think about things to pack.:D Think about things to do like mail and newspaper holds and probably should let the credit card people know we are vacationing. :D We are sailing on Vision on the 25th.

You might look at the ship to see if they have a roll call and having a M&M and join them and get more information from them.

I see that you haven't posted on your call since September. Roll calls are really a lot of fun if you keep up with them. :D:):D You can share in all the excitement for the upcoming cruise with everyone that is sailing with you. I think some people feel that roll calls are exclusive. They're really not, just keep posting and you will fit right in. You can post about anything and everything. :D

Count how many Alarms I have left to listen to in the Morning - Makes the time seem to go a little faster.

 

And as others have said Read CC over and over again to get as many tips as possible.

 

I only have 4 more alarms to listen to :D

We have two weeks also, guessing we are on the same sailing. We put stickies on our door and change them daily as a countdown. We are going two days early to New Orleans, so ours changed this morning to read "11 Days till Ham & Swiss croissants at cafe promenade". It's fun coming up with sayings and we go a little crazy when it reads single digits! See you on the ship!

Two weeks ... I wish. Try 40. :(

Go to the sites that list your destinations and see what they have to offer.

Start pulling your clothes and open your suitcases.

Start thinking about the review you WILL post when you return:rolleyes:

I've been reading CC obsessively as well! It's nutty. We are 13 days out. I started loading my suitcase last night (my clothes have been laid out for a few weeks now.) Sooooo excited!

Two keys things in those final couple weeks. Make room for those additional pounds you might put on, lots of exercise. Second and most important, a little conditioning for that extra alcohol you my consume.

It helps to be prepared.
