I'm getting emails from my own email address to my email address. Has someone hacked my emails?
I'm receiving emails as if I had sent them. They say either info@1-800-cruise.com or chris@1-800-cruise.com. How do I stop this? I am obviously not sending emails to myself.

I doubt that anything has been hacked. In all probability, a spammer has obtained your email address and is using it as a bogus From: address and somewhat stupidly may also be using it as a To: address.
Viewing the source of the received message (using ctrl+u) can reveal something about the message's true provenance. Whilst it is not going to tell you who sent it (and the actual sender may be some innocent user whose machine has been compromised), it can be reassuring to find that the message came from some entirely foreign location, and not any account or machine that you are responsible for.
