Good man, do this myself and then... "borrow" a document folder so I have all my hard copies together, in order and right where I can grab them when I need them.
I'm a delight to travel with lol

This has been my night at work.  Nothing like using company time, company equipment, and company ink to get ready.

My wife and I made Platinum during the beginning of our last cruise.  When there was no recognition, I stopped by the C&A desk.  Later that day (or the next day), we returned to our stateroom to find a nice note with a couple pins and 2 C&A beach towels. 

The Wife and I where on board Independence back in October for a week away and had a great time.
Towards the end of the week it dawned on me that this was my first cruise as Platinum and I vaguely remembered reading about a Pin you get. So I enquired at GS to see how that worked, was I ment to get it on board or does it get sent out to me later. Girl on the desk mentioned that I should have gotten it in the Stateroom when I arrived but that they didn't have any Pins on board.
Bit of a shame but I was having a great cruise and it didn't really bother me so I went off and enjoyed the last couple of days.
Last week I got a strange text message saying they where FedEx and that my delivery would be made on the 15th, "if you would like to see the status of the order click this link". I hadn't ordered anything and wasn't expecting anything so I ignored it as a phishing attempt. I don't like clicking links I don't know from emails or messages. Yesterday I got another text to say that the delivery would be today (yesterday). At this point I'm thinking the messages are legit and start getting "The Fear". What the hell did I order and why cant I remember it?
 
Got home yesterday and opened up the envelope and inside was my Pin. Was really surprised. Girl at the desk must have noted something on my account and sent it off. That was pretty cool of her and I'm sorry that I don't remember her name now, it was a throwaway conversation and I didn't really expect anything to be done after I wasn't overly fussed about chasing it.

Nice , 
We never got our Platinum pin , but we got twice emerald pin for some reason.

I'm sort of a +2 on this --- only it's multiple tabs, pages open, so I can switch from work pages to this page.

+1 on this. Either two monitors at my work desk, or two separate computers (work and home) when working remotely. ?

My phone case has 5 slots that you can put credit cards in, I'm still a bit wary about having credit cards near my phone so they never got used.
Now my sea pass cards go in there in a rating system and I see them and think back fondly...... until the next cruise :)

We just went on the Anthem OTS last week and came back yesterday. It is not even 24 hours yet when we left the ship. My son, who is 6 years old asked me " Mommy when is our next cruise"? I get him ready for school and took him to the bus and he was really sad that he is not on the cruise ship. 
We had so much fun on Anthem. Bumper cars, North Star, shows and i-fly. 

I had the same issue with hubby.  Call C&A, they were very helpful and were able to find his number and add it.  Again, they were very helpful, I hope you get the same guy I did! LOL

Thanks man, I had tried that but had no joy.
..........I've just worked out the issue. So the Wifes account was made before we where married so under her maiden name, we created her new account under her married name and that seemed to be where the issue was. On a whim I updated her surname back to her maiden name and tried to add the C&A number again, no issues.
Bad error text, number wasn't at fault at all
Thanks @J_Keeble, ones to keep in my back pocket if I run in to issues again

With the UK market they always blast up the prices when they are first released, I know people say always book as soon as possible for the English cruises out of Southampton I would most certainly say this is NOT the case. there isn't even an offer included like OBC or drinks package.
I suggest monitoring daily if you can and wait till December 17th when the new offer comes out.

Not so delighted this morning. Prices just released and although I was expecting a price hike against what I paid for the Indy, I wasn’t expecting the price to double. Paid £1100 pp for the Indy, similar itinerary and date for the Anthem is coming in at £2399. Certainly not paying that, hopefully independent cruise companies are lower than the RCI website. 

I still say "COMMANDO" is the way to go... loose and free.. 

Fantastic, I'll get on that one
Cheers guys

Yes.  Your wife's status tier should be the same as yours regardless of how many cruises she has taken (as long as you share the same address).  Call C&A and have them match her status to yours.

Delighted to hear this news this morning, I’ll be glad to board a different ship to the Independence without the need to fly.

This has reminded me of this story. The first cruise I was on on Independence there where 2 groups of people that where getting a bit drunk by the pool bar, at one point the bar man had to run off to grab some supplies, guy was on his own in there, so 2 members of the groups jumped the bar, helped themselves to drinks and then walked off as if nothing had happened.
The next part of the story I head from one of the cabin attendants the next day, so early the next morning we docked in Vigo, Security marched down to the staterooms, blatered on the doors till they opened up and escorted them all off the ship, hangovers and all.
Apparently the screaming very quickly turned to begging.

Really don't understand the thinking of some people at times
