Finally received email from Carnival today, telling us about our Platinum perks on-board and that we will have access to online checkin 2 days earlier than standard 14 days, so 16 days priory to sail date.
Considering that the cruise is now only 12 days away it is a bit late. We definitely did not have access until 14 days prior to sail date, so perhaps somehow there was a glitch that didn't link our booking to our status until today.
No big deal, as I managed to get 12 noon time slot which is only half an hour later than the first time slot of 11.30 which was unavailable at 14 days.
Any other Platinum members ever denied access to online check-in at 16 days before sail date?
For our November cruise, we received a similar email well before the cruise sail date and had no problem completing check-in at 16 days before sail date. This cruise is the first time we have had a problem.
