SCUBA Mark Posted September 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2009 If one person in the cabin is a Platinum member, does the other person in the cabin get any of the Platinum benefits? I was thinking they would get embarkation and debarkation but nothing else. Thanks in advance Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnjkeith Posted September 13, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Your right, thats all since they are not Plarinum. They can go on priotity tender with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking they would get embarkation and debarkation but nothing else. Thanks in advance Mark Yes although I have yet to see where platinum status has helped with debarkation. It is terrific for embarkation and hit or miss at the Pursers desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is terrific for embarkation and hit or miss at the Pursers desk. Thanks With Platinum, we have gotten off the ship first with self-debarkation and with a #1 luggage tag for normal debarkation.

Yeah but when you switch wives, Platinum status is non-transferrable (I am kidding also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan40 Posted September 13, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yeah but when you switch wives, Platinum status is non-transferrable (I am kidding also) All of my American wives ARE Platinum. Now the European wives are not but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well we don't cruise over there.:p:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted September 13, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Also good for priority tendering - and if you're real nice I'm sure your 'platinum' cabin mate will share the canapes and goodies that come to the cabin :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luluwa Posted September 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well for sure the cabin mate will be able to: 1. chow on the petit fours and appetisers that will be delivered to the cabin on two separate evenings and 2. can be included in the complimentary laundry service too.

gargoyle999 Posted September 14, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 14, 2009 And as long as you don't mind your laundry in the same bag, you can both use the free wash and fold. When you are Platinum do you only get one bag of laundry free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted September 14, 2009 #12 Share Posted September 14, 2009 When you are Platinum do you only get one bag of laundry free? I don't recall a stipulated limit. On an 8 day sailing once I used the service on 3 different days. You could likely send a bag a day if you desired. Not sure... anyone... BUELLER... BUELLER...

LHP Posted September 14, 2009 #13 Share Posted September 14, 2009 When you are Platinum do you only get one bag of laundry free? You can do laundry as many times as you want to. We do it twice on a 7 day because hubby packs accordingly to save luggage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted September 14, 2009 #14 Share Posted September 14, 2009 How many cruises till Platinum status??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted September 14, 2009 #15 Share Posted September 14, 2009 How many cruises till Platinum status??? As soon as you step onboard (actually starts at check-in) for your 10th cruise. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Mark Posted September 14, 2009 Author #16 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well for sure the cabin mate will be able to:1. chow on the petit fours and appetisers that will be delivered to the cabin on two separate evenings and 2. can be included in the complimentary laundry service too. Your post about Canapes and Petit Fours reminded me about how they short change you when two Platinum members are in the same cabin. You only get one Canape plate and one Petit Four plate. At least they give us two Carnival presents. The reason I asked this question is that DW's parents are going on the same cruise with us. Their over 55 rate is cheaper than our past cruiser or military rate. I was thinking about signing up a Platinum member in a cabin with an over 55 so that we could get the better price and the side benefit of having a Platinum member in each room. We would switch the people around with the purser's desk after we got on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Mark Posted September 14, 2009 Author #17 Share Posted September 14, 2009 When you are Platinum do you only get one bag of laundry free? We send laundry out usually every day and twice a day sometimes. I run every day and would rather get my sweaty running gear cleaned than let it stink up the cabin. If we send laundry out in the morning it is usually back that evening. If we send it out in the evening, it is back the next day. On our last cruise on the Ecstasy, we sent laundry out in the morning and it didn't come back until the next day every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they can't "officially" change you in the system once onboard, they can give you an additional card to use for your "real" cabin (though it's only a key, not a Sail & Sign card).

Rare jimbo5544 Posted September 14, 2009 #19 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Getting it back has varied for us as well. I think the main factor is what time your room steward services your room and turns it in. We have had cruises where it was always back late afternoon and others where it was returned the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlethepearl Posted September 14, 2009 #21 Share Posted September 14, 2009 My son who is not Platinum yet has received the gifts along with myself when he has stayed in the same cabin as me. But I took a lady in June on the Fantasy and only I received the picture frame. I guess they had a surplus of the thermos' before. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that you should be able to assign any given S&S card to any CC you wish. When we did this in the past, it wasn't an issue - as it was our son and his friends - we just needed someone booked in the cabin who was an adult. All of their charges were mine anyway (and they KNEW to take it easy with the S&S cards)! If all else fails, just make sure that YOU charge more than your in-laws ! :D Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
