You know you're addicted Cruising When...

[Chucksta63]

Your kids recognize Funship Freddy before Mickey Mouse...

You have your TA as #1 on your speeddial...

You see the "past guest cruise" prices and know you can do better...

You know before your TA about itinerary changes/ship repositions...

In your head you know the punch lines to almost all of the CD's ship jokes during the "Welcome Aboard" show...

Everyday you are looking for a cruise or airline "deal" that would entice you to go on another trip...

When you friends/family always seem to start a conversation with "so, when is your next cruise again? Didn't you just get back?"...

When you find yourslef arguing with someone by saying "No, Purell does NOT kill Norovirus" and you can back it up with reasoning...

When you talk about Tanzanite at home and nobody knows what you are talking about...

When you go to a liquor store an laugh when you see Kahlua is going for $25/liter...

After that, you justify in your head that you can hold off until your next cruise to buy a bottle of Kahlua...

When you are the only person in your family that has ever heard of "Broiled Supreme of Free Range Chicken"...

When you check all posts that is titled "Chocolate Melting Cake"...

When you actually have an educated opinion if the funnel deck should be "tops optional"...

When you find yourslef explaining to friends at home what the funnel deck is...

When you see some stranger at the mall wearing a Carnival T-Shirt and you immediately start a conversation with them. "So, when did you guys go?"...

After looking around the bedroom, you realize your wife has collected over 10 knock off Prada/Kate Spade bags, none of which she uses anymore...

When you get so lazy unpacking your bags after a cruise that you tell yourself, "nah, we can leave that in there... we won't use it again until our next cruise anyway"...

When you run into a CCL staff member on a ship and they remember your name from a previous cruise..

On a Saturday afternoon around 4:30PM CT, you pull up the Wachovia Center webcam in Miami and watch the ships travel down the Goverment Cut to the ocean...

You are from the midwest and know what the Government Cut is...

When you find yourself saying "it's Tuesday, that means the Carnival Triumph is in St. Thomas today" (going to go check the Paradise Point webcam now).

Wel, I'm definitely addicted. I can relate to just about all of them. If I'm home, I will pull upthe Miami webcam and watch the ships leave.

When you walk past towels in the store and wonder why they aren't shaped like animals.

Welcome Cheryl!!!

Keep coming back! One day at a time(will get us closer to our cruise)!

Here is a little serenity prayer for the cruising addicted....

God grant me the Serenity....

To Accept the Cruises I can not afford go on...

The Courage to go on the cruises I can barley afford....

And the wisdom to know the diffrence....

... when you sign up to a little site called Cruise Crazies - you think you will drop in, ask a few questions every now and then - and find you are on every day, sometimes twice a day even lol.

....when you check in here to find out how long it is until your next cruise leaves ...... then you realize you checked like yesterday!!!!!
