WeCruiseToo Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Having been on 12 Carnival cruises we’re grandfathered in at Platinum even though we don’t have enough points (I think we’ve got 64 points). The priority check-in is fantastic! Private or semi-private (depending on port) check-in rooms, right on the ship (if it’s cleared customs), your room is available right away and somehow your luggage makes it to the room before you – amazing! The special line at guest services is also really nice. We’ve noticed that Carnival’s perks are all good on short cruises (one item requires a 5-night or longer sailing) while some of the Royal Caribbean perks are only good on 7-night or longer sailings. dmoten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swath Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Carnival Cruise Lines Very Important Fun Person VIFP What I DO NOT Like about this Loyalty Program is the following: There are To MANY Benefits at the TOP TWO Levels 5 & 4 ; Levels 1-3 Seem Like An Afterthought When Compared to other Loyalty Programs. Also there is NO way to Earn Extra Points PeachandGrolee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger25375 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I just got back from cruise #9 on the Carnival Paradise, and the next day my documents for cruise # 10 in November updated to reflect my new Platinum status. So glad I was able to get in under the old guidelines. coloradocruisers, WeCruiseToo and Swath 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindseyFoley Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I am in the gold level for Carnival but wanted to try the FTTF pass for my upcoming cruise. Only $50 for all people in the cabin and it allows you most of the perks of being a platinum member. I'm anxious to see if it will be worth the money.

I’m sure you’ll love the perks Lindsey – but we definitely want to hear if you thought they were worth the extra cost! Happy cruising!

LindseyFoley Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I will let you know for sure. I would assume it would even be that much more helpful for cruisers that are bringing children on the cruise. I don't have any children I just want VIP treatment!
