Have planned the excursions, too early to pack, precruise BBQ planned for a week before. Put together the kids survival fun pack. NOW WHAT!!!!

Bonnie Voyager Posted May 11, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I book cruises 2 YEARS in advance! But, as Folgy said, I book "quickie" cruises in between to "calm the beast". I also visit this darned message board about a hundred times a day! That helps alot!

Carol Anne Posted May 12, 2004 #15 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi, Buy/and or borrow some Cruise Video's of the ship you will be sailing on or others that are of interest. Also Caribbean video's of the islands. This helps. If your near a departure port go down to the port and watch the ships leaving on Saturdays and Sundays. We book way out also. But we are fortunate to be 15 minutes from Port Everglades so that when we go to the beach on the weekends we get to see all the ships that are in. That helps. My goal for the coming year is to have a cruise every 16 weeks. We just got off Navigator (what a great week!) and have our next cruise September 18th. Even that seems too far off!! Cronic Cruise Syndrome is really hard to control thats for sure.
