This is how it is suppose to be! You go on one and get hooked. Sometimes there is a not so nice experience but it shouldn't stop you from going again. We normally book our next cruise while on cruise because they use to have incentives but I'm not sure if they do now. Still it's nice to book in advance! Better room choices, better rates, and you have something to look forward to even before you get off the ship you are currently on! Yay! Lol.

Glad you had an awesome first cruise! Hurry & book again so you can start a new countdown! I'm cruising in July and then to Alaska June 2019 (and who knows when between!)!
