Post Cruise Depression (PCD)

Hello everyone! :)

I am brand new to the forum! Anyway, I am very curious about how you guys deal with the end of a cruise. After 2 very bland cruises, this one was very impressive. Many friendly people and Roatãn was excellent! We were on the Vision of the Seas.

So even though I have been on 6 cruises, I have felt very sad about leaving. Anyone know how to get over this?:confused:

Welcome to cruise critic. I suffer from PCD. the only cure is to keep cruising.

Start planning and schedule your next cruise! It's the only remedy!

Sounds good to me!

Don't think there is a remedy, but it's good to know that I'm not alone. Hold me.

Group hug !

Air 30002 welcome to CC. What made the Vision cruise so awesome? What did you do in Roatan? What amazing cabin did you have? Please do tell for all of us who are about to cruise on Vision.

Booking another cruise really helps.

We have started doing multiple B2B's, with only a week at sea we were left wanting much more and once back home with withdrawal symptoms.

But once you've been aboard 3 or 4 weeks its nice to get back. Our record has been 7 B2B's included in there was a nice long transatlantic, that was awesome but also great to get home and back to reality and start planning our next adventure.

Hello, my name is Richard, and I am a cruisaholic!!!

God, grant me the wisdom to accept the things I cannot change, the serenity to stay sane until my next cruise, and the wisdom to book another one SOON!!!!

Jewel of the Seas in TWO Weeks!

Carnival Liberty B2B at Christmas!

Book another cruise, works for us!

Start planning the next one.

We haven't booked a 2015 cruise yet but we are considering Allure and time will fly by.

I know the feeling! The only remedy that works for me is to immediately start to plan the next cruise.

Suffer Post cruise Depression from the minute we leave the ship suffering Pre Cruise Depression at the moment 2nd November can not come soon enough.

I agree, I usually feel like crying when I leave the ship. Have done 4 two week cruises & was never happy about getting off & back to reality. I think the only cure to the blues is to book another cruise or at least another holiday :)

I agree with Karen, and will add a slight twist... I actually like to already have at least one more cruise booked even before I board. Something about already having that next vacation locked down before this one even begins that I find very calming.

And yes, would love to hear about Vision. I'll be aboard in September!

what did you do in Roatan

I suffer from post cruise depression (PCD) and pre cruise depression and anxiety (PCD&A), that feeling of "can't the next (x number of days) go any faster???" :p

I get that too. This time I have pre cruise depression. I am booked on a transatlantic and don't want to go. Might just blow it off. :eek:

PCD...finally, a name for it! :p

We have actually only been on ONE cruise, and I knew right away we were hooked! We are going on the next one for our 1st year anniversary and I was totally depressed until I booked it lol.

We have even talked about moving closer to a port, since flights are so high and the drive is sooooo long.

It definitely helps to have another one in the works right now, that's for sure!

A large group of us (family and friends) just came back from our cruise (8/3 FOS) and just booked another one for next summer! We couldn't help it! We were missing... EVERYTHING about cruising! :D

I understand..I so understand..It has to be at least seven days or better yet 12-14 or a back to back next time..thinking of going to Florida for a month or 2 and just getting deals...wouldn't that be great...group hug..Sarah

We do other travel that we love just as much as cruising. No cruise until March, but 6 nights on the Florida gulf coast in November and 8 nights in the Keys over Christmas break:D
