Guilty as charged... :D:eek:

 

May I also add another clue that you may be an addict:

 

When I get home from work and one of the first things I say to my husband is "so there was this post on Cruise Critic today"... :)

[kazu]

oh oh....

 

But I don't plan to join Cruise Addiction Anonymous:p

I was recently told some of my coworkers had been planning an intervention on me. They changed their minds during the planning phase because I never book time off to cruise during the mainstream vacation periods that they would like to have... like spring and summer school breaks! No way you'd catch me or mom on a ship then :)

Even sadder is that I replied to this topic not even realizing that in the crockpot as I spoke was HALs pea soup in anticipatory celebration of our upcoming Alaska cruise! oh boy.

This is bad.

[PathfinderEss]

not me, no, no, no I'll never admit to it.:D:D:D

Exactly! I could stop any time I want...

How about getting calls from a PCC at a cruise line you've sailed twice in 20 years?

Does having "planning the next cruise details" as your primary hobby qualify? :D

In honor of my Username, You might be a HAL Cruise Addict if,

 

1. Your first cruise was on the Ninadam, Pintodam or Santa Mariadam.

 

2. You name your pets after Holland America cruise ships; instead of come Spot it is now come Ryndam !

 

3. You participate on the HAL "Sailaway" threads while on vacation on a HAL cruise ship.

 

4. Your username on the CC Site is "Krazy Kruisers", "sail7seas", etc.

 

5. Your toilet at home requires that the lid be closed before flushing.

 

6. You watch reruns everyday on cable TV, "The Love Boat"

 

I guess I could go on and on but let's continue with RedneckBob addicts.

 

1. You might be a redneck if your first cruise was through the parking lot of Dairy Queen.

 

2. You might be a redneck if you think the muster station is the condiment bar for hot dogs

[Krazy Kruizers]

Looks as though we are very guilty.

This definitely should be added to the list as it is a hobby!

[1of4]

Not yet...but I am working on it. It will come with retirement I suspect! And yes, I am studying up to book that cruise while our upcoming cruise is getting closer. :)

The first NY/Bermuda/Carib cruise 1993..... A group of us sat in the lido for breakfast. After breakfast we went o more coffee and on and on and on....

 

Instead of going ashore we remained at the table talking about cruising and ships and on and on and on.....

 

By after noon... we decided to have lunch. Eventually we wandered on about 3 o'clock. A pal of mine from Bermuda.. had never been on a ship before... thought we were all the worst time wasters he had ever seen....

 

called us " Cruise Potatoes "

 

Well, if the show fits. :D

 

 

Tell you one thing... the groups of us that met up at the lido breakfast on that cruise in 1993.... we became friends... still e-mail and telephone and one couple got married a year late.

 

That is what cruising about.... to many of us. Cruise Potatoes!!!!!

[ger_77]

It's nice to see I'm not alone, and that there's a place for us (here) . . . . love the "Cruise Potatoes".

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

After reading the list I must confess I also am an addict. I don't want to fix it or stop it.

That point on the list about home decor reminded me of some photos I saw once on this forum of people who had tiled their kitchen backsplash with HAL Mariner tiles.

 

I have repeater club boxed glassware sets from cruiselines that have been out of business for at least 25 years. Just can't bear to part with them. Maybe ebay?

We named our latest cat after a port we've visited and absolutely loved (no, it wasn't Istanbul or Pompeii :rolleyes:), Sochi.

I guess you are a cruise addict.

 

Thank goodness your favorite port was not Cat Island, Bahamas :D !

After the kids have finished college, is there any reason to keep working except to afford a better cabin on your next cruise?

[HALGirl]

I am guilty. Always try to have the next cruise lined up before I have taken the current one. Also, I too work so I can cruise.
