Long Time Lurker, First Time Poster....

I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Erin,28, I live in central Wisconsin with my hubby, and our two furbabies. I've been lurking on the boards for quite some time, and decided I should try and join in. I'm a bit shy, so I may not post much :)

I'm a huge cruiseaholic, and I cannot wait to get on my next ship in September (I don't know how I will wait that long) Carnival Destiny, leaving from San Juan, going to Aruba, Dominica, St. Thomas, and Barbados. My DH and I have gotten our parents addicted to cruising as well.

Thanks for looking, I hope to become a usual suspect around here!!!

welcome Erin

now that you have admitted to your addiction we will help you feed it:D

You've taken the first step now let it all out;)

Look forward to your posts

Hi, my name is Erin, and I am addicted to cruising.... It's been 4 months since my last cruise.....LOL

I really could use a 12 step program!

Hi Erin, welcome. the folks on these boards don't bite...too much:D

You have already cruised Carnival (don't know how many cruises and which lines you've done), maybe it is time to get over to the cruiseline sections of the board and start helping us out:) Do you know that a lot of posters here have never cruised...they are looking for help from people that have cruised and you would be one of that category. Don't be shy, come on in, the waters' not bad. :)

Welcome Erin, don't be such a stranger.

Welcome newbie, here's my 12 step program

1, Admit you're addicted to cruising.

2, Keep up with C/C ( cruise critic).

3, Dream of cruising.

4, Research Cruises.

5, Fantasize about cruising.

6, Keep in touch with C/C, it feeds your addiction.

7, Talk to a T/A, they can ease your pain.

8, Pick a cruise.

9, Put down a deposit.

10, Check back with C/C & let us know that you've just booked a cruise.

11, Make final payment

12, Go and have a great time.

Now these steps won't happen over night. Some people go through them every 3 or 4 months, lucky. I go through these steps in 2 year cycles.
