Top Ten Reasons You Know You Have Cruised Too Much

[AAA75]

10 You have memorized which Specialty and No Cover Charge Restaurants are onboard

9 You wait anxiously and tell everyone around you to be quiet so you can hear the Captain's 12 noon announcement.

8 You know that you can arrive to port at 11:00 AM and use the day you paid for wisely

7 You have the Bong they use for boarding saved on your smartphone so you can participate in the Bonging process as well.

6 You love watching the Position Map Channel and have it on in your stateroom 24/7 and ask the crew where the nearest TV turned to that channel is so you can track the progress.

 

5. You know that tonight is Pomodoro and the next one is Mojo

 

4. You have memorized the layout of the Windjammer and know what sections to head to for the first embarkation day lunch.

 

3. When you greet the captain at the Captain's party you ask him what is the Beaufort Scale, Present Position Longitude Latitude what time you will hit the next Pilot Station.

 

2. You hold down the Door Close and UP Button keeping it pressed to get the elevator into Express Mode so you can be the first for lunch.

 

1. You arrive to the port early in the morning to watch your ship come in and navigate the quickest way to the checkin lines so you won't waste precious moments when the checkin opens.

 

Yeah, will have to try #2

4) You step into the elevator in your apartment building and ask what-the-heck day of the week "Otis" is

 

I read this last night, and honest to goodness, I woke up this morning laughing about it. All the lists are funny, but this one is my favorite!

6) You call Best Buy's "Geek Squad" for fear your PC has the NoroVirus

 

5) You sing "O Sole Mio" at the top of your lungs whenever serving spaghetti

3) You tell the waitress at Denny's you have pre-paid gratuities

 

2) You think "Love Boat" reruns should air on The History Channel

Hahahahaha! You're killing me! Awesome lists!

[travelplus]

Here is another one. When you try to figure out how to make your apartment elevator speak and reprogram it to say"Deck 2 Going Up"

 

Or when you want to purchase doormats with the day of the week and change it daily.

When you know that Mojo can't follow Pomodoro because Mojo is the first night's menu.

 

And what would you say if Mojo followed Pomodoro to your Waiter?:D

...when you have so many magnets from foreign countries they cover the entire front of the refrigerator! :eek:

 

Guilty! Oh and shot glasses too :-)

[Ken Greco]

You finally can find your cabin without looking at the door numbers

:o I guess I just need to keep cruising...this one has me stumped? Let's just pretend that it is because I only use the stairs, ok?! :p

Last week on the Brilliance of the Seas several couples came up with

#10 You know the muster drill by heart in 5 different languages

#9 The drink menu has one named after you

#8 The Captain has YOUR photo on his wall

#7 The first night of the cruise, all the bartenders know what you drink

#6 You are named the Godmother of a ship

#5 You know the dinner menu each night by heart

#4 Immigration knows you by your first name

#3 The Captain asks you what ports the itinerary includes

Of course on an RCCL cruise, in the elevator they display the day of the week on the elevator floor.

 

Well "Otis" is the name of one of the largest elevator company in the US. (Otis Elevator Corp.) So in your apartment building it MIGHT say "Otis" on the floor. It was a stretch but for those who got it, I'm hoping it was worth it! ;)

10. When they run out of your favorite liquor

9. When you go snorkeling in your bathtub

8. You try to use your seapass card at walmart

7. You go thru the TV guide looking for shore excursions

6. When you go to the aquarium and can name all the fish

5. Your the only one that wins at Love & Marriage

4. You prop your front door open with a bungee

3. When you don't have to go thru security when re-boarding the ship

2. When maintenance calls you for repairs

1. When your grand kids have to book a cruise to visit you

Not all ships have the day of the week in the elevator. I can never remember all, but for example, Grandeur and Enchantment don't, but Freedom and Allure and Explorer do. So, someone who has never been on a ship that does it, wouldn't know :-)

These are absolutely wonderful. Thanks to all of you for the terrific laugh. :D:D:D. Our November cruise is sooooooooo far away:(

Seems like the list keeps on growing....

 

Here are more:

You refer to your commute to work as "tendering"

The neighbors are surprised you still live next door

You put your cars on blocks

It makes sense to cancel your cable service

Your beneficiaries receive your life insurance proceeds because you are lost at sea

You replace your pets with towel animals

The Revenue Manager asks if you wish to have your social security checks deposited in your sea pass account

The Facilities Manager asks what color you want your cabin painted

The Casino Manager opens up early just for you

[mjldvlks]

When your eight year old daughter asks "When I go to college, will I have a tv in my stateroom?"

My vote for best so far.
