mworkman Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm going thru cruise withdrawals...our next cruise isn't until Nov, but we have several land vacations prior to that.

bhageerah Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 No, its not! Wife has been in school for the past few years and we have only been able to go on one 4 day cruise over the past two years and we are both having the same issue!! I do not know what it is but we are both spoiled and can not wait for our next one in June! Sweety 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 You're not alone. We have one in July and then a long stretch till march 2019. We can only cruise twice a year because of work. And @mworkman I agree, the live blogs are a catch 22! First world problems....

Sweety Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I thought I was only feeling like this. My only relief is that I have a cruise in June, July and August. I am catching @twangster cruise flu.? Boston Babe and Ray 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I feel everyone's pain, I've got such a long wait between cruises. I'm at least 17 days from the single digit dance. JLMoran, Ray, Boston Babe and 7 others 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree! Norfolk would be great! Carnival goes out of Norfolk from time to time and it would be absolutely perfect! We’re about a 30 minute drive from there. If they started sailing from there I would take a cruise every other month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Vitale Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 2019 begins 3-a-year for us. I cannot imagine waiting a whole year like we did when we first started cruising. ONCE a year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princevaliantus Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 The most I've cruised given one year span time is 6 times! Now, it's usually 3-4 times a year as I've hit 99.99% of the ports out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in North Carolina, and New Jersey is your "closest port," you're doing it wrong! Baltimore is on the way to New Jersey for Tar Heels. Charleston isn't much closer than Baltimore for us but Norfolk would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floski Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I'm ten minutes from the terminal in Charleston, and it's quite common for me to consider "scratching that itch" by just jumping on a Carnival tug for a few days. Then I get some calamine lotion and that problem goes away. Now, if RC came to Chucktown, that would be a !

monctonguy Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Anyone who lives in the US has it so made when it comes to cruising options. Between cheap gas, cheap flights and way shorter driving distances to ports, you don't know how lucky you are! I would be cruising 5-6 times a year if I lived in the US...... While driving to Baltimore/Bayonne is kinda an option from here....there aren't many cruise options to make it work like out of florida or texas..... I have to wait till OCT for my next one, but we will be booking one for Feb so that makes the waiting a little easier knowing I will have 2 cruises in 4 months!

Not sure where you go in PA, but get off 13 and get on 113 north, it takes you right to Route 1 will cut off about an hour and half of your drive. It's a beautiful road no traffic.
