After Your Cruise, Don't Forget Us

[CruiseFever]

I was just looking on my Buddy List and I noticed a number of names that used to post on here all the time leading up to their cruise.

 

Then the cruise comes and they go and thats it: poof! gone for good

 

I feel so cheap

 

Happy Cruising

For most of us, it's hard to have the same level of enthusiasm after a cruise. I don't type well, so it is hard for me to post a long review. Unfortunately, I do not have an assistant at home and for some reason , my wife is not interested in doing the typing for me.

I just WISH I could quit coming here all the time. Our next big trip is Disney World in December, so we haven't booked our next cruise yet or even talked about when it may be. Nonetheless, I usually check in here several times a day. Sigh.......it's a hard habit to break.

I wonder what my thought pattern will be after the cruise. I've been totally addicted to the board not only for the great information, but for the 'fun' involved as well!

I don't know what I'd ever do without you!

I'll be back... leavin' tomorrow morning for a pre-cruise night at the Hyatt, then off to the Triumph!

See ya all! and thanx..

 

This much time until I leave to marry my best friend

No way are you getting rid of ME! (Even though SOME have tried!) I'm not just a fair-weather friend; I'm here year-round (much to my husband's dismay)! I visit here frequently even when I don't have a cruise booked. I just get a little (OK, a lot) more obsessive about being here when I do have a cruise booked!

A couple of months after a cruise I go into a serious PCD.....the only thing that cures it is when I have enough money for another one....

 

I do apologize for not being around to help other new cruisers.....I do check back every so often...I just don't post as much....

Cure ..... always have at least 2 cruises booked. That way you will always need to be on here talking about and researching the next one!

I have to say that some of us may feel "run off" or in my case intimidated into a regression from posting. I joined this board a month ago, and was so happy to try to help someone with my 2 cents worth, when "****" seemed to jump on me, insinuating that I was not being honest about my advice. I honestly felt bullied. I have been cruising for over 20 years steadily from Europe to Hawaii, & through the canal 5 times so I thought it would be fun to partake in these conversations with other fun loving cruisers, for I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN from others. I was the one who posted an apology to her, if I came across as trying to look important for giving my advice. (I have never tried or wanted to be important, but I apologized anyway.) It seemed to me that it just isn't worth posting anymore. I will probably check here once in a while to see if I can learn. I might check back in a week or even less, but I won't post again unless it's VERY important, and I won't bother anyone with my advice again. I wish everyone many years of fun cruises.

 

"Nothing should be more highly prized than the value of each day".... celebrating cruise #30 soon

Sea-cruise, Thanks for your post. This topic has come up here several times since I've been a member and I believe it is a valid concern. There seems to be a small group of CC members whose biggest thrill is to "flame" or put down others here who are not as knowledgable or experienced as they are. The funny thing is, some of them then wonder why others don't post here more often. Even though my wife and I are only able to cruise once a year(for now!), I still spend time here every day, learning and sharing my limited experience. Please don't be intimidated by those others, I'm sure with your wealth of cruising experiences you have much to share with us less traveled cruisers. Please visit here often and thanks again. Paul

ok Chris, I wont forget about ya after the cruise.

 

SeaCruise, Opinions are like @-- holes right? You have a right to give ur opinion! I do, and if someone flames me...they better know who they are dealing with cuz i dont get mad....i get even hehehehe!!! Dont let others both u. If someone posts something and you have experience. I know I for one would love to hear it...the good, the bad, the ugly! PPl like that are on EVERY board i have ever been to.

Good point BabsAndPaul, nobody should be made to feel bad for posting. I just wish I remembered what all that was about.

 

Not that it matters I suppose but usually when its me that says something stupid everybody jumps down my throat, I sweet talk my way out of it and we move along. This is the first I've heard of somebody having a grudge against somebody else.

 

Now I'm really glad I started this topic or we might never have known how Sea-cruise felt. Hopefully he/she will hang around and regail us with some stories of his/her many adventures.

 

oh barf, I don't mean that, why did I even say it?

 

Actually IMHO, if person A has a problem with person B then they need to work it out. No fair condemning everybody else and lumping us all in the same sewer.

 

That's why IM's were invented

 

Happy Happy Happy Cruising
