Product Description
For millions of people every year, a cruise isn't just a delightful vacation it's an obsession. These Cruise Crazies have simply GOT TO BE ON ONE - landlubber jobs and responsibilities be damned. Luckily for them, there is a new behavioral therapy guide by Dr. Kruz Nutty (a.k.a. Bob Mick), the world's premier authority on cruise addiction. Through Dr. Nutty's Cruise Crazy, take a quiz to discover which of the four levels of cruise addiction you have reached. Then take note of the wacky pre- and post-cruise rituals and obsessive-compulsive symptoms that give cruise addicts away while learning new terms that finally define their crazy addictive behaviors: Stage 1: Pre-Cruise Psychosis - a happy obsession over choosing the perfect cruise; hosting cruise-themed parties, and sending endless newsletters to friends about their future cruise. Stage 2: Traumatic Travel Syndrome, where NOTHING will keep Cruise Crazies from getting to the ship on time. Driving at break-neck speed to their port of departure, booking only hotels with harbor views to watch for their ship, and suffering from Seaport Personality Syndrome get out of the way as these Crazies rush onto the ship. Stage 3: Sea Junky. Here they either subside into lethargic poolside lounging, hibiscus in hair, sipping umbrella-laden ice-cold drinks, and floating peacefully on turquoise waters, or they rev up into a frenzy of shipboard and seaport activities by overindulging, overshopping, overeating, and overdipping into every port of call with utter abandon. Stage 4: Severe Ship Separation Anxiety as cruise crazies approach the dreaded end of the cruise, when days of uncontrolled exuberance come to an end. But Dr. Nutty does not abandon his dry-land afflicted Crazies here. Discover his 25-step Cruise Recovery Program with its bathtub buffets, faux cruise ship rooms, and other cruise withdrawal remedies. Laughter is always the best medicine and Cruise Crazy may be all the laugh therapy - or encouragement - you need.

 Travel humor has a new star in Dr. Kruz Nutty November 15, 2007

This is a marvel of a little book. The new dictionary for cruise addict behavior (The Cruise Line Lexicon) will keep you occupied (and giggling) for hours! And if you're having a hard time counting the days until your next cruise comes, this book is the perfect guilty pleasure for anyone who loves to cruise. (And others who wonder why we're so addicted!) Not bad at all for ten bucks.

Thank you, Dr. Nutty! I read this last night (addicted to both cruises and reading!) and thoroughly enjoyed it. This book is a useful tool to be used during all stages of cruise addiction. I can see myself picking it up to read sections or chapters when the need arises. It was a pleasure to read. Laugh-out-loud funny and/or just plain silly. What fun!
Great Book! February 15, 2008

This book is really great! It is very well-written, Dr. Nutty has a fantastic sense of humor and can qualm any pre-cruise, post-cruise, and cruise fears! There are some good tips to help you cope with inter-cruise times. Over all, it was a great read!

Dr. Nutty's survival guide is exactly what I needed to get through until my next cruise. I'm so glad that I found this book. It's funny amd definitely describes my addictive behavior from picking the perfect cruise through the end when I'm forced off the ship when the cruise ends.
Yes, I am a cruise addict!!! August 7, 2008

"Cruise Crazy" was recommended to me by a passenger on my latest cruise as an entertaining way to help me get over the post-cruise blues and to help figure out just how cruise addicted I am. It was a fast and funny read and I don't know how many times I thought - how does Dr. Nutty know me?? I tried several of his suggestions and they really helped me out. I now have a cruise corner in my bedroom - with my homemade towel swan and a collection of tiny umbrellas among other souvenirs. It's my go to spot when I need a little cruise fix. I would absolutely recommend this book to any cruise fan who has a tough time getting back into the real world after living in a fantasy world on the sea for a week. Since I now know that I'm a top-of-the-line cruise addict I guess I should start packing for my next cruise!!
