First Time

I booked my cruise 80 days ago and theres still 240 days to go. It's never going to come. I'm going insane. I've started to look for cruises that are closer so I can go an extra one.

As we've said in another post, ANTICIPATION is half the fun of a cruise alt text

Booking one closer is a great idea alt text :cool: :cool:

First of all, Samushy.....

Welcome to the friendliest, most helpful, cruise board on the net!

As far as the anticipation, we all know the feeling.... There are three conditions which are unique to cruisers; PCAS, NCBAS and PCWD.

alt text

PCAS (Pre-Cruise Anticipation Syndrome) occurs when you've booked a cruise too far in advance. If your cruise is more than 30 days away, you will suffer from this malady and the only cure is to book a cruise for a date less than a month away!

NCBAS (No Cruise Booked Anxiety Syndrome) is, as the name implies, a condition which occurs when you have NO cruises booked. The only cure is to book a cruise for a date less than a month away!

Finally, there's PCWD (Post-Cruise Withdrawl Syndrome) which occurs as you disembark the ship and head for the terminal to find your luggage. The only cure is to book a cruise for a date less than a month away.........

Samushy, Welcome to our CruiseCrazies family. We're so glad to have you aboard. alt text

Please feel free to ask any and all questions you may have about cruising. Also, please don't hesitate to jump right into the games and off-topic discussions we have going on. That should make the time go a bit faster. Hope to get to know you. :cool:
