dotheyes Posted August 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Reached VIP status with Carnival (12 cruises_) What can we expect? thanks for any info Ole Ole Dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted August 28, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2010 You should have reached Platinum status with your 10th cruise. In any case, you will probably have a separate area to await boarding and be among the first on (an off) the ship. In addition, your will have Platinum benefits the best of which are free laundry wash and fold service and free entry to either the slot or blackjack tournament.

imnance Posted August 28, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2010 If I'm not mistaken, you actually reached platinum 2 cruises ago. The fact that you haven't noticed says volumes about the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don't know, I think the personalized stationary is just super peachy. :) ETA: BTW, have they changed the logo item again yet, or can I look forward to another picture frame in October?

Perhaps they took the other 11 BEFORE the program was in place. It has only been around since 2006..... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaLuvCruising Posted August 29, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 29, 2010 We love the priority embarkation and debarkation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyG Posted August 29, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2010 We also received a frame on the 8-8-10 Splendor cruise. I loved the laundry! we came home with clean clothes instead of dirty ones! We have priority tender going out in Cabo, but not the way back. Stood in line. We even asked a Carnival officer who was watching the line. Not on the way back.

DC Caps Posted August 29, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Everyone rolling their eyes and laughing at you when you try to jump every line and than throw a hissy fit when you are sent to the back. j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotheyes Posted August 29, 2010 Author #12 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Thanks for the info. We didn't get it before because are 10th and 11th were b2b, and they couldn't update or something like that. The free laundry sounds wonderful; does the cabin steward tell us about it or should we ask for it. Ole Ole Dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyG Posted August 29, 2010 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The first time I sent laundry, I filled out the form. I gave it to our steward and he took it. The next time I did not do the form. The bag came back with our room number and Platinum on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particulary care for the stationery. I seldom use it, since email came along. I also like the wash and fold service, VIP boarding, horderves and petit fours. Makes me feel special somewhat. ;) Luv's Crusin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotheyes Posted August 29, 2010 Author #16 Share Posted August 29, 2010 our bagtags say VIP on them, but do we need to tell people in the port we are VIP? Also my neice and her husband are going with us; can they get VIP boarding too? Again thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thanks for your help Your Funpass will say "proceed to VIP check in" or similar so just have it in hand. Unless you are paying for their onboard account your niece and her husband should proceed to regular check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has only been around since 2006..... :confused: Possible, I was on my 12th when Platinum was started. Still want a FREE CRUISE for the 2 Platinum cruises I got cheated out of, or I'm never going to cruise Carnival again----until next time.:D:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
