Still as excited as for your very first cruise?

It's no secret any more that I'm a Newbie and getting ready for my first cruise (24 days!) and the excitement is at times unbearable! I eat and sleep cruising! lol I don't think it's a bad thing personally, however.....

I'm just wondering from YOU the more experienced cruisers, does the feeling ever change? I can't imagine it ever feeling ho-hum or like just another vacation. It's just such a good feeling that I don't want to loose! Perhaps a "cruising high"? Happy Oh and I'm working on my next one already! I heard that is good advice too. I'm learning so much here! Big Smile

I think like someone else stated. Its always fun to look forward too and is still exciting. The total sense of AWWW! is somewhat diminished and now I also pretty much know what to expect. But... It is so fun when the countdown gets in the double digits to single then DAY 1! Then bummer when it goes by way to fast. NervousAngry

We are actually more excited for each cruise now that we know how much we enjoy them :)

I can say here, that the feeling never goes away, mind you I am expecting my 4th cruise in 50 days. Although I am not as seasoned as some of the other cruisers out there, I am like a child waiting for Christmas to come.

I'm excited about the Cruiseline.com cruise. Looking forward to a countdown clock.

Yesterday I was sorting through stuff and found the books we made from the stuff we saved from the cruises. Looking forward to it.

If you think cruising is an all consuming, mind filling, thought process now........wait til you get home from the cruise. You will be planning your next one as you wait in line to disembark. You'll get home, check your emails, then start going through the Cruiseline sites looking for early savings. Eventually you'll get back to here and tell us how everything went. Then maybe you'll unpack.

Oh, save those daily activity guides and the all of the shopping coupons you'll get. Keep your cabin keys. Take lots of pics. Take a coffee mug home. Use it on those mornings you're feeling a little low. It will bring a smile to your face. Happy home. We always take advantage of the penny roller if there is one

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!!! lol Look at all the goodies!!! Big Smile BOOM!!! There goes my EXCITMENT METER up another notch! So you're saying I might need an extra suit case? lol (just kidding) However, anything they are willing to let me have as a souvenir I'll be sure to bring it home! I WILL BE planning my next cruise and possibly before I leave for this one if I can get my husband on the program! I'd hate to leave him at home. lol

Thanks so much BAK1061! Love the pics!
