glrounds Posted March 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I usually book last minute (3-5 days before the cruise) and I can't get a lot done in that time period either from the anticipation . . . don't know how you people can book months and some a year out. :eek: And especially on a FIRST CRUISE . . . anticipation must be unbelievable. :D Have a great cruise . . . go with the flow . . . ask a lot of questions . . . and don't worry, you absolutely positively can't do everything there is to do . . . that's what future cruises are for ! ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaCruisinNewbies Posted March 19, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Well, we talked about cruising for years! And every year, something came up and we forgot about trying to cruise. So last summer, when I "thought" about it again, I said, "To heck with it" and booked in full right then and there so we wouldn't forget or talk ourselves out of it. But this wait has been horrible and nerve-wracking. But the end is near... and we cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obxmidgett Posted March 19, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I took my wife and daughters on their first cruise back in December. They loved it so much that since then we have booked two more. Just remember go with the flow and only you can make it a bad vacation. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfclam2003 Posted March 19, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2009 We always book ours 10 to 12 months in advance. Because we take my parents along they need plenty of planning time (they can't do anything spur of the moment :(). Then my mom drives me nuts with things like are you packed yet - do you know what you're taking? I'm the travel agent :D for the family and make all the arrangements for everyone then I call my travel agent and drive her nuts. I'm finally getting excited for mine coming up but my DH and I travel a couple of times a year so I can pack a night or two before I leave and yes I pack for him:eek:! Been know to forget things of his though but never mine things. When I get below 2 weeks then I get really antsy. Have fun we're right behind you.

bighairtexan Posted March 19, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've done over 30 cruises and I am still every bit as excited as the first time. Maybe even more so because now I know how wonderful it is. And I love it when I get into single digits, like Wolfie. I'm like a kid at Christmas. Is it here yet? Is it here yet?

The worst thing that is going to happen is that you will want to book RIGHT AWAY after getting off your 1st one!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morcruisin4Fun Posted March 20, 2009 #20 Share Posted March 20, 2009 We have 23 more days until we sail on the Valor. The kids are getting very excited and I have to say, this weekend I will start some packing. It's so close, it's all I can think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myamifin Posted March 20, 2009 #21 Share Posted March 20, 2009 We booked our first cruise last September for this coming September, and as you can see by my signature, I couldn't wait until this coming September so we booked a family trip this past January. Welocme to the cruising life - I'm hooked and now counting down again. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
