missygirl Posted June 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2017 When we board our next cruise in Nov. we will be platinum. I know that we will be allowed to board before gold, red ect. but are we allowed to go directly to our cabin or will we have to wait until they announce the cabins are ready like normal?

Shaded Lady Posted June 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2017 One of the perks of platinum is being able to go directly to your cabin! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandij Posted June 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yes you can go straight to your cabin, it should be ready, last time ours wasn't but they still let us drop off our carry on and then we went to get food. Your luggage should come earlier also but not always. Welcome to being Platinum, enjoy it and ignore the naysayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your cruise and don't let folks get under your skin, can't image how they will act when and if they get to Platinum. You have spent a lot of money with CCL so enjoy your vacation and forget everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmar73 Posted June 26, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Congratulations on becoming Platinum Cruisers. A word of advice from one who knows; as Platinum Cruisers you will be some of the first passengers to board. Drop off your carry-on luggage as per your earned perk; but make sure you keep moving. Remember, most of the passengers are boarding behind you and are probably heading to the Lido Buffet as well. If you spend too much time in your cabin after boarding, you will find the Lido Buffet is very crowded and seating is at a premium; which, to me, defeats the perk of early boarding. Enjoy your first cruise as Platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkIVette Posted June 26, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2017 You must be an FTTFer. No. With 18 cruises on Carnival, I am platinum. It's just that, like Carnival, I like to have fun and have a sense of humor. I work hard and long hours to be able to afford to go on cruises and thank God that we are fortunate enough with our health to go also so when we have finally have gone platinum I did not ask this question to down anyone I had just read here on CC that we could go ahead to cabin so you don't have be snarky with your comment. Lighten up, Francis. It was just a stab at humor, which some people have very little of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain should know who I am since I will be platinum right? :'):') If you are on a ship where you get your sail and sign at card check in just go straight to your room and go in. If you are on a ship with the new system go to your room and take your sail and sign cards out of the mailbox and enter. Easy. Have a great cruise.

SadieN Posted June 27, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Only once has our cabin not been ready upon boarding- the MR Journeys Cruise out of Long Beach. At embarkation there was the Crew Immigration check AND a surprise Coast Guard Muster review AND 200+Diamonds/Platinums and an untold number of FTTF. (It was also raining but that's another story.)
