Cruised beginning of July and the Platinum logo gift was the binoculars. Does anyone know what the current logo gift is. We are cruising again in 2 weeks.

 

I saw a review from a cruise last week and it was the binoculars. It can vary depending on what ship you are on and if they are transitioning between gifts......I'm on the Conquest this Sunday and don't have their binoculars yet, but I doubt they will be better than the pair I carry with me......

 

I'm finally getting rid of the last 3 spare picture frames that we've received over the years......I think we probably had 12+, and I know we had 6 coolers and at least that many thermoses.......oh and 2 backpacks..

 

The only gift we never got was the pen and notepad set....I would really liked to have received that one.

We got 2 of these and they were nothing to brag about. Gave both away.

Binoculars... if you don't own your own pair (nobody would pay for these toys), then I suppose they're better than nothing. Though since the gift is intended for frequent cruisers, it's almost guaranteed that many people will be receiving these more than once.

 

They either need to swap out these baubles a couple of times each year or give something which is more useful (drink coupon, photo coupon, a few bucks OBC, etc...) These "gifts" are, at least IMHO, are about as desirable as dancing waiters! :rolleyes:

Hey Dennis - nope, Diamonds receive the same gift as Platinum guests - though ours are silver plated (it figures that they would not spring for Platinum plating).

 

(OK - just kidding on the plating)

 

:D

I'm sure that the binoculars will be the gift for a while since they don't change them very often. I did make mention in the Diamond VIFP survey a few days ago that there needs to be more variety in gifts or give us a choice of what we want. People that are Diamond and even Platinum cruise more often so we get multiples of gifts. I understand that it needs to be something with a Carnival logo so it won't be drink coupons, etc. but choices would be good.

DW and I actually use the sling backpacks. To us, this is the best Platinum gift we have received.

I think the drink/photo coupons say Carnival on them... that's good enough for me! :D

 

(LOL - I recall hearing about that survey... another one I never received!)

These people at Carnival marketing aren't stupid........they know full well that those of us that cruise frequently and providing them with virtually free advertising when we give away those logo items........

 

Maybe I'll start selling them on the ship......you think $5 would go over well????? I could take that $5 and put it in a slot machine and maybe get lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:p

I think I'll just start sending them back to Miami (FedEx, signature required). I don't mind investing a few bucks to make a (futile) point... I already do that when I play in the casino anyway! :eek: ;)

I got the binoculars on the cruise I just got booted off last Saturday. I only have 13 cruises. I have one picture frame (would like a few more), a six-pack cooler, a notepad/pen, and the latest binocular. I know those who cruise a lot have so many multiples, but remember those of us who are new to Platinum and can only cruise once a year......
