I know it's been too long since I last cruised when I disembark a cruise... 

You purposely pay for In-Flight WiFi just to peruse these message boards... greetings from 35,000 feet up in the air. 

I was able to use my United miles to get the WiFi on here, less than 2k miles for 2 hours of connection time... so not bad. 
I also just did a 15-minute FB Live from my seat, 35,000 feet up. I have no idea how well it worked on the ground but the fact that I could do it is beyond impressive!

I've spent a lot of money on in-flight wifi for just checking the boards!

...when you start having dreams of being on a cruise ship and then wake up depressed.

My primary card is the Barclaycard arrival, 2% on everything all the time.
Depending on categories on other cards, I flirt with them to pick up higher %'s. One of my Chase cards is doing 4% on utilities right now for example.
Barclaycard is about as simple as it gets on redemption, select how much to redeem and you see that amount as a credit on your statement the next day.

The Royal Caribbean Visa card isn't a great rewards earner unless it was your only card. If you have more than one travel card don't bother with the RC card. I got the RC card thinking I'd use it for just onboard purchases but I don't cruise often enough for it to be worthwhile.
Depending on whom you bank with:
If you bank with Bank of America and/or have an account with Merrill Lynch, you can get up to 2.62 points per dollar with the BoA travel rewards card since they have perks for your business relationship with them. Second best would be the BarclayCard Arrival or Discover It Miles (since they match any points you earn in the first year) -- Not a fan of anything Capital One.  
If you don't bank with Bank of America, I'd look at the Barclaycard Arrival or Discover It Miles card and go from there. 
 
 

...when you listen to cruise podcasts!

Everyone who attends the Periscope sessions. That would make for a fun dinner for sure... but we'd have to take over the Windjamere. 

I used to use cruises.united.com to browse available cruises, then I discovered MEI Travel (Thanks @Matt) and now, I don't need any website... Stephanie @ MEI hooks me UP!

There's a covered pool, the solarium, the Seaplex. Anthem is built for cold / bad weather. It's what it does best. 

You always have a countdown going until your next cruise!
In my case, I count down work days which feels like it goes faster! :-) 
 

Very much yes... supposedly Icon class ships are going to be smaller than Oasis which is a good sign.

You check your next reservation every other day for the number of days until embarkation and announce loudly...THE NUMBER OF SLEEPS UNTIL DEPARTURE!

When you think of Majesty as "That BIG ship"

Piggybacking off of @iamjohnbamber, something I experienced last night made me think of this...
You know it's been too long since you've last cruised when _________________.
My response? When you start actually CRAVING Sorrento's. I'm a little bit ashamed to admit that, but it totally happened. 
Anyone else?

You're D+...and still have your first sea pass card stashed in your night table drawer.
