We hadn't booked the cruises at the same time. I called Carnival to "link" the 2 cruises as B2B before the cruise. Not sure what Linking means but the CS took care of it.

When we turned platinum, it was on the second leg of a B2B. We received our platinum card when we boarded for the first cruise. We would told it was treated like it was a single cruise in the VIFP program. Enjoy your new privileges.

We booked the first sailing in 2025 as well. I created a roll call. Hopefully the new port will be ready as planned with everything working smoothly.

Did everyone get a boarding time? We were a little disappointed that boarding was delayed boarding because of the private naming ceremony.

We are excited about MSC in Galveston. It saves the cost and inconvenience of flying to Florida. It seems like MSC will be in the new terminal 16 which is planned to be ready in 2025. We have an 11-day Celebrity cruise booked in a veranda cabin that is about the same cost with the drink package & 1 wifi device. The retreat was 2x the veranda. That cruise is more about the ports than the ship for us. On the MSC cruise out of Galveston, we will likely not get off at the ports. @Hobby3333 We will try to stay warm. Thanks

We just booked our first MSC cruise. We are excited to try the YC and see how it compares with the Retreat on Celebrity besides being a lower cost option. We were able to status match to Gold which is nice. We are experiencing the infamous MSC IT issue with my wife account. It will not link the cruise or VC membership number. CS says they are working on fixing it.
