HtownHolly Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 I'm curious exactly how anyone is productive at work, in the first couple weeks after a cruise. I sure am not, lol! Also, anxiously watching and waiting for my C&A status to switch from Pre-Gold, lol. It's been 10 days! cruiselife, JLMoran, bhageerah and 5 others 3 5 Quote

BTE Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 What about the time spent planning for one LOL or as it gets closer? I've been on this site & surfing planning for a cruise for the past month (booked the Allure) or so & than yesterday decided to plan for an Alaska cruise. Can't wait to actually go on one now spiralqueen 1 Quote

SpeedNoodles Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 I have 7 monitors at work. One is always dedicated to cruise research (I don't believe that was its original intention, but there it is). I don't get to choose how productive I am, it's either busy or it's dead (this time of year, it's pretty much dead between midnight and 6am), so I have a LOT of time to plan/dream. Plus it keeps me awake (usually). FlowBro Ty, tiny260 and Sweety 3 Quote

WannaCruise Posted January 10, 2019 Report Posted January 10, 2019 Our next cruise is 8 wees away and have hard time concentrating and am always looking at cruise stuff. Two days a week I work from home and especially hard on those days not to surf the net. P.S. Most days I dislike work but I keep working so we can cruise (well that and so we can send our kids to university...lol) Quote

They say it can take up to 2 weeks after the sailing for C&A points to get added and to move your statuse from Pre-Gold to Gold or if you just needed a few more points then you would be moved up to the next C&A tier level. I got off Oasis on December 9th and noticed about 1 week later that my points from that sailing were added. Quote
