HtownHolly 45 Report post Posted January 9 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! 3 5 kontraxed, mom2mybugs, JLMoran and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They say it can take about two weeks, however, I just got off Indy on January 3rd and noticed this morning that my points from that sailing were added. 1 WAAAYTOOO reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedNoodles 1,348 Report post Posted January 9 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). 3 tiny260, FlowBro Ty and Sweety reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WannaCruise 572 Report post Posted January 10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
