chamima Posted May 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I just got this in an email from Cruise Critic. It's spot on - embarrassing - but spot on. :eek: To determine how much of a cruise addict you really are, we've made a list of 21 obvious warning signs. How many apply to you? 1. You basically work to fund your next cruise 2. Your smartphone and/or computer wallpaper is a cruise ship or destination 3. You unwittingly use cruise lingo throughout the day (Example: Referring to your bedroom as a cabin) 4. Some of your closest friends are people you met while cruising 5. You suffer from Post-Cruise Depression 6. You plan your next cruise while onboard — or before! — your current one 7. You're a top-tier member of at least one cruise line 8. Other cruisers always come to you for tips and tricks you've accrued over time 9. Your home is full of cruise-related decor, memorabilia or souvenirs 10. Most of your conversations always lead to cruising 11. You've memorized the layout of a number of ships 12. That swaying motion you feel after you disembark no longer fazes you 13. You can count the exact number of days until your next cruise 14. On holidays and birthdays, you always receive at least one cruise-related gift 15. You could spend hours on cruise sites 16. You've planned an imaginary cruise just to get your fix 17. When you get invited somewhere, you have to double-check your calendar to make sure you're not cruising 18. You've hosted a Cruise Critic meet-and-mingle 19. A world cruise is one of your biggest fantasies 20. You're never fully unpacked 21. You've lost track of your bucket list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted May 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 29, 2017 We were addicted to cruising before there was a Cruise Critic :) I wonder how many here go back to Prodigy, Genie, and AOL days. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsgoggins Posted May 29, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) 3/21 only .... and one of those is spending hours on cruise websites (and I think that is on the wane). Another is never fully unpacked, but that is often because we've been on land-based trips. I've ticked off a lot of places I wanted to 'get a taste of' over the last couple of years (I did seven cruises last year!) and I think that the manic cruising I've been doing will shrink down to a January cruise and late-booked bargain cruises eventually. Being from the UK, I am not happy with the unequal treatment of bookings in the UK and the USA (and it has nothing to do with UK consumer laws before that old chestnut is brought up again!) so I'll be voting with my feet .... and as I'm clearly NOT addicted, no matter. Nice thread though. Edited May 29, 2017 by mrsgoggins Clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted May 29, 2017 Author #22 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm really enjoying hearing from my fellow addicts. We're only 16 out of the 21 . ;p Maybe we need to set up a support group - oh wait - Cruise Critic has already done that. ;) So maybe we need to arrange a "meeting" once a month or so . On a ship, of course. (For those of you taking this seriously, no, we can't really afford to do that either -) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzKnitr Posted May 29, 2017 #23 Share Posted May 29, 2017 1 - only this year 5,8,11,12,13,15 20 - like mrsgoggins I have other land reasons to be packed 21 - after visiting all 50 states I no longer have a bucket list but am willing to travel anywhere.

saltsandknit Posted May 29, 2017 #24 Share Posted May 29, 2017 19/21 so I think I have a problem. My only hope is to book another cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNUZULOOSE Posted May 29, 2017 #25 Share Posted May 29, 2017 We enjoy cruising more than land vacations. But I won't use the word addicted. I can't afford to be addicted. We have only been on 4 cruises. Not that we don't want to cruise, just hard to afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
