Crunchy Mountain Mama Posted February 5, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I swear it is taking forever for April to get here! I still have a doc dance and cabin room assignment to look forward to, but I swear the days get longer the closer it gets to cruise time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktac Posted February 5, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Trust me, the days during the week of the cruise will go by fast enough to make up for all these slow days. Sorry about that! Mark T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstrybuf Posted February 5, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I have even longer than you and wayyyy too much time between my last cruise and the next one. To pass the time, I spend a lot of time on this and two other cruise boards as time allows. I research through the boards and through other sites found on Google that are port specific. I read a lot! I may even go out and buy the newest travel guide on cruising in the Caribbean. I even spend a lot of time running to watch TV when the cruise commercials come on. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmdv Posted February 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2006 1. Start your packing list, keep adding/deleting items. 2. Keep reading reviews, make notes to yourself about things you want to do/check-out while cruising. 3. Start a Roll-Call, looking for others on your cruise. 4. Find the post (here on CC) about "Things they don't tell you about Carnival". Copy/paste/print-out and take with you so you won't forget. It won't seem like April will ever get here, but before you know it, you will be on deck, enjoying your first (of many) delights of cruising!!! Wish we were booked so that I was counting down the days. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprcorn28 Posted February 5, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I want it to go faster too!! But only until March 23rd when we leave for FL. We'll then spend a few days in FL until our ship leaves on March 26th. Then the week needs to go nice and slow!! ;) (It'll be good for my week on the ship to go slow too, for you! That way you'll have the time to get all the necessary things in order, packed etc for your cruise that leaves right after we get back!! :) ) Have a great cruise!!!

gypsyrose Posted February 5, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Why don't you plan a little cruise party one weekend to get you in the mood? Make a cruise cd, get the blender out and make some foo foo drinks, fix a spectacular dinner (don't forget to dress up) go out on the deck and blow bubbles, dance to the cruise cd at your own personal deck party. We did this one Sat nite last summer and I know my DH thought I was crazy, I actually did blow bubbles off the deck and waved at imaginary people on the imaginary pier. But we played that cd twice and danced and had a blast.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custer Posted February 5, 2006 #12 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I feel the same way. Crusing the Inspiration in 18 days. My first cruise. Going to be a long 18 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted February 6, 2006 #13 Share Posted February 6, 2006 The reason the days seem longer is due to the Leap Second they added this year. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twortman Posted February 6, 2006 #18 Share Posted February 6, 2006 How do you check to see if a Roll Call has been started for a cruise you are going to be taking? I'm also counting down the days until our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhill1108 Posted February 6, 2006 #19 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Make lists of everything, things you're going to pack, money you'll need to budget for. Stay on these boards and read as much information as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
