BTE Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well I went from not cruising for 8 years Jan 2011 to booking a cruise in Dec for Jan 2019. Than I put a deposit down on 1/9 for a cruise in Aug 2019 & today I put a deposit down for one in Feb 2020. My wife asked was I getting carried away all of the sudden LOL but she didn't say no. Upcoming cruises Allure 1/27/2019 Ovation 8/9/2019 Adventure 2/1/2020 Guess I'll just work on planning excursions ect.. for the last 2 & hold off booking anything else for now.

JLMoran Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I wouldn't say overzealous. You're just enjoying the steady rainfall resupplying the reservoir after a long drought. tdcackler, BTE, bobroo and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Umm...overzealous? No. There is a very simple explanation. You just found the RCBlog message boards, that's all. tdcackler, BTE, Fuzzywuzzy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiralqueen Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yep, this website is DANGEROUS for the wallet. I went 17 years since my last cruise (I was 14) and found these boards and the podcast when I was researching for a May 2019 cruise. Suddenly I also had a November 2018 one booked as well as May 2020, Jan 2021 and Michelle at MEI is going to price out a November 2019 for me tonight or tomorrow. My M.O. is pausing the podcast in the middle of an episode to call my mom and go “.......so I was having some thinky thoughts. What are your feelings on a cruise for X?” My parents love that I plan everything out and reprice regularly which has saved us hundreds and I love that doing so makes me all the more excited and connected with the trip. Works out well for everyone! Now I just have to convince my brother to join us one of these times..... tdcackler and BTE 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketsRN Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 No such thing as overzealous when it comes to cruising. I've got 7 on the calendar now (one of which I need to cancel, but still...). Got one on sunday, then one in February, april, may, September, and next april. Keep at it, man.

She has no problem with the going part LOL. She's always up for a trip somewhere. She just doesn't like the part about booking now for a cruise 54 weeks from now as she says something might come up. But it didn't take much convincing Matt and tdcackler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ1231 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Never cruised until after I turned 57 and only when suggested by my in-laws. We did Alaska in June and subsequently booked Caribbean a couple weeks ago, Bahamas in March and Bermuda in July. A couple moths ago my spouse said "No more!". After a visit with my father in Florida after the Caribbean cruise we showed my father pictures of our Alaska. He was stationed at Ft. Richardson in Anchorage in 1959-60. After seeing the pictures it was my wife who told me to look into 2020 return to Alaska! BTE, tdcackler and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WannaCruise Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 We used to go on one 'nice' vacation every year and a half (I e. Cruise or Disney). Then we snuck in a cruise last Aug on Mariner and got addicted. We currently have 5 cruises booked between now and March 2021. tdcackler and BTE 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby got me in here I would say we are both a bit cruise obsessed.
