O.a.t.c.

[jingels]

O.K., I'll admit it. I'm addicted. I'm addicted to this wonderful feeling of anticipation. This wonderful feeling of knowing that soon I will be sailing on the open water, eating sumptuous cuisine and lounging by the pool.

 

But wait! This must be some sort of deviant behaviour. It can't be normal. I think that I need some help! But where can I get it?

 

I heard that there is some sort of support group. A support group known as O.A.T.C. (openly addicted to cruising). I've looked and can't seem to find a chapter here. O.K., I'll start one. Is there anyone else out there who needs help too?

 

My name is Jeffrey and I'm openly addicted to cruising..............

[tuggers]

I'll join as long as we are not trying to change this behavior. It's a sickness for sure, but one I love!

 

Hope we don't have to learn the 'Big Book'. I can recite the X Big Book and can tell you where a cabin is on most X ships. Does that qualify me to be a member?

 

Hello, My name is Gail and I'm OATC! :D

[teedee]

Yep, I'm addicted. Just came back from a cruise last week and I'm looking to book another, that's in addition to the 3 I've got booked already! :) Just promise no one here will try to cure me and everything will be fine!

I don't want to be cured, but I'll join for the companionship!:D We leave in less than 4 weeks on a cruise and not counting this one, have 3 more booked. I'm addicted and happy!

Count me in this group. We are doing back to back on Century this November. Just booked for Sept. 05 TA. I have been trying to get all my friends to go with me on that one. So far I have 7 cabins booked with friends. I just saw good prices for round trip on Summit for the spring of 2006 to Hawaii. When I mentioned this to my friends they all told me I was crazy to be thinking about a cruise so far away. They just don't understand that without looking forward to my next cruise, I may just go nuts. Or am I nuts now? I am glad that there are people on CC who understand my addiction :D Pat

I really don't want a support group, I just want another cruise.

 

I am definitely addicted to cruising and I guess it's openly since I just spent 10 minutes on the telephone with my sister-in-law giving her the ins and outs of no jeans in the dining room, no travel irons in the staterooms, etc. etc.

I thought I was, but I must not be - I only plan two cruises in advance! Everyone thinks I'm addicted, and I only go on two cruises a year. At least until I retire so that I have more time to cruise more often.

 

My name is Pat, and I'm addicted (not that that's a problem-only problem is not enough time to go more often).
