I'm Sorry! I just Can't STAND it!!!

This is bad. Really bad. We haven't had a vacation in 4 years. My fiance said a couple of weeks ago...." Book a cruise. End of February. Now." And I did. God help me, I did.

Now I can't concentrate. I mean, we cruise in 22 days. oh yeah. We cruise in 22 days.

I was caught at work reading "Cruise Critic". My coworkers call Cruise Critic... should I say it?... dare I say it?...

CRUISE PORN

I think they are organizing an intervention. They whisper amongst themselves all day and then go strangely silent when I walk in the room. :(

I don't want to go to rehab. :(

I wish I cruised in 22 days yay for you !! Have fun after 4 years no vacation u deserve it!!!

I would have to agree. As soon as I book I look at cruise critic at least 4 times a day. It's addictive!

4 times? It's not on your screen all day? And then you, like, don't click another window real quick when someone walks in your office? :o

I cruise in 8 more days. 7 until I leave for Galveston. I can't wait!!!

Do you see the sea when you close your eyes? Do you feel the sunshine kissing the tip of your nose when you go to sleep? Do you reach for your DOD in the darkness, unaware that you aren't there just quite yet?

YEAH!!!! ME TOO!!!

I believe there is a support group for that addiction the only problem is it happens to be on the cruise ship you are going on.

LOL. I was sitting in the Tokyo airport NRT the other day waiting for my plane to be brought to the gate with my first officer. I was on cruise critic and he looked over and kinda made fun of me and also called it cruise porn. But it doesn't matter I love this place.

I'm soooooo looking forward to being amongst my own kind. :p

Yes it's an addiction and even worse now that I finally got an IPAD! While I don't have a moment at work, I'm hooked when I finally get my first few minutes of down time at night and then end up sleep deprived the next day.

One more trip report and then I'll turn out the light....oh, that one looks interesting, I'll just read a few lines.....now which ship is that, I'll just look at the pictures this time......she's so funny, let me just glance at her previous report......I loved the Dream, what year can we go on the Breeze.....yeah!- a new post about the Victory.....better call Bon Voyage in the morning just in case those prices do go up........yumm that looks good, is it on the old menu or new one.......what exactly is fun 2.0??..........forgot to check roll call, will just jump over there and then I really need to sleep........love that soft sway of the ship at night......how many more days......who am I kidding, go-ahead read one more post......

Oh my! Look at your cruises! All of your fabulous cruises! *Green with Envy*

Even my fiance, who in his complete sweet innocence commanded me to book our cruise, is looking at me all shifty-eyed while thumbing through the yellow pages marked "Psychiatrist".

He made the mistake of asking me to show him a picture of HMC (since we've never been there yet). "Sweetie, there's a ton of pics over here on the "All Things HMC thread!" Hmmmph! He said he only wanted to see ONE! :rolleyes:

We shared the same womb, yes?

YEAH!!!! ME TOO!!!

oooooooh you are sooo funny!

Be sure to write a review when you get back. If you are like this before the cruise I can't read you review when you get back!:D:p

Have a wonderful cruise.

I toggle between John Heald's Facebook and Cruise Critic ~ pretty much all day long at work.... do work... get a soda....browse the Internet... do some more work... maybe a bit more work.... browse around...:o

It's crazy how much time I log here after I booked a cruise and am waiting for it!

The people on this board UNDERSTAND - the people I work with, not so much LOL

We all know what it's like to think about your upcoming cruise every waking moment, want to read everything about that ship - and what the heck, how about every other ship someone posts about from that cruiseline - maybe even another cruiseline

I too read someone's review and then link to one of their past reviews - sometimes I re-read reviews....

I sometimes ask questions, and answer others - but mostly I sit here for hours reading, dreaming, figuring for my next cruie to book and wishing time would speed up!!!

Happy cruising to you all :)

I, too, am joining this support group. I had a family cruise booked for:

four in 1 cabin on the Spirit, changed it to four in 1 spa cabin on the Splendor, changed it to 1 spa cabin and 1 4K cabin, changed it to 2 different spa cabins, changed it to 1 spa cabin (since 1 member isn't going) and to another date. Now I'm looking into changing it to a B2B to a whole other port and back on the Spirit!

Was that hard to follow? I know, I know....I need help. I'm sure that's what DH thinks, but is too nice to say...

Same here, fortunately (or unfortunately??lol) for me I am on here constantly from the second I get off the phone from booking a cruise. I read about people's experiences that don't concern my whatsoever, search for pictures from "my" ship.. CC is constantly on my screen and I constantly am hitting the refresh button in case someone posts a highly important thread "Do they have Fish and chips on the Pride" I am not even sailing on the Pride but I googled and answered.. it was not even my business to answer lol... but when I have no cruise booked, I cannot bear to be on here and read about everyone else going on their cruises... It makes me feel too depressed...but when I do I am a CC Junkie (and not the least bit ashamed!!)

I knew I had a disease and now I know what it is. Seriously though, I sail in 140 days and I am browse cruise critic at least 5 hours of my 12 hour work days and I check for price drops 3 times daily!

OMG I thought i was alone in my madness.. The good thing is I sail in about 6 hours!!!! Whooo hoooo the day is finally here. You'all take good care of CC and I will be back to replay my cruise in a review when I return!!!

Have a great week while I'm in the sun, with DoD, on the Ocean, enjoying "my" ship.. whoooo hoooooo

LOL!! Love it. Please write a review! You are so funny :):) Have a great time!!!!

I just bookmarked CC yesterday at work, but I'm always on my phone. Can't put it on the home computer yet because our first cruise is a surprise for DH.

Oh honey - you have got it B-A-D!! LOL

It's even worse when you CC up all day (when you can), AND check the Port Everglades Webcam DAILY to see what ships are in port AND to watch them leave at the end of the day .... Oh Dear Lord! I got up at 5:45 Central Time this morning and all ships were already in and accounted for! Darnnit.

DH and I haven't cruised in 5 years and DD went on her last cruise in <<gasp>> 2004!

And, I have to say ... CRUISE PORN - that's awesome!!

Enjoy!!

I do the same thing.. I am on here all the time and now that I am not working (driving the School Bus) I find my self on here even more. We usually take two cruises a year. Heck I even went and bought one of them Net Books small computer that I can read CC on the bus while at the school waiting for the kids to get out. LOL.:eek: People (Co Workers) walk by What are you doing? I tell them reading CC what else. They roll their eyes and say is there ever a time when you are not on that Site. I am actually on here more then Face Book.:rolleyes: We cruise in 32 days yes that is right 32 days on the Carnival Ecstasy We DH and I are going with my Two DN's (mother and Daughter.) WE are so excited we just cant wait. So Yes I am joining the need Help group. This place is just so darn addictive

I booked my first cruise last may and will be leaving tuesday for Miami and boarding Liberty in a week. I've been very excited and keeping my co-workers, friends and buisness relations up to date on my findson CC and how many days left before my trip.

Thursday, when I showed up for a meeting, they actually had a large flip chart and it said:

5 days before JXXXXXXX shuts up about it and goes on her trip :p

I just had to laugh!

Cruise Porn? Lol that's funny!

I wish I knew about this site when I went on my first cruise in 2010.

I'm going on another one with my boyfriend in 76 days!! I can't wait. I'm on this site all day every day haha!
