I really don't care about any of the perks except for, occasionally laundry, and always the priority on debarkation day for self-carry. It's nice to go to the theater or dining room and be lead off the ship in an orderly fashion and not deal with the rugby match in the corridors. Maybe the digital debarkation has taken care of this. The 2 day early check in is nice but they don't seem to always enforce the boarding times anyway.

We're Platinum and the first available boarding time was noon when we checked in. For those who don't know, one of the benefits is checking in 2 days prior to the normal check in. Also we received the following in an email: "Dear Diamond & Platinum Guests, You may have heard that Carnival Jubilee’s naming ceremony will be taking place Saturday, February 24. To ensure a smooth experience for our guests and manage all the activities, Terminal Arrival Appointments will begin at noon. Please DO NOT arrive prior to your Terminal Arrival Appointments as they will be STRICTLY ENFORCED and all guests who arrive outside their designated times will be asked to return. Although the ceremony itself will be an invitation-only affair, we are delighted to share that it will be televised on big screens around the vessel, starting at 3:30 PM. "
