jetskier Posted August 31, 2013 #103 Share Posted August 31, 2013 How did you get cheated out of something that never existed before??? :confused: Like several on this thread, we were cheated by being told if we reached Milestone we would be grandfathered into the highest tier when the program was rolled out. Then all of a sudden Milestone was not a tier though it was treated as one. While those short of Platinum were allowed to get extra days tacked on if they were short. Those of us that were Milestone were not offered that option. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnivalBreeze319 Posted August 31, 2013 #104 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Those may be right who said it has to deal with a simplified fare structure. Especially since this message was only sent to travel agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ4 Posted August 31, 2013 #106 Share Posted August 31, 2013 They are going to put a ship back in Mobile, Alabama so I can cruise more often..... I doubt it will be Carnival, but there is buzz locally about a cruise line testing the waters in the near future. Carnival wouldn't need to run trial cruises because they've already been here and pretty much know the market. http://blog.al.com/live/2013/08/mystery_cruise_line_testing_mo.html#incart_river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliair Posted August 31, 2013 #107 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Sounds interesting but will probably have something to do with a new port or regional multi port development. It'll be interesting to see what they announce. Like Princess, maybe a permanent ship from Carnival for San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulege Posted August 31, 2013 #109 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Seems to me if it is coming from the Sales Team, it has to do with bookings. Not necessarily ship enhancements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted August 31, 2013 #111 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I would like to see them start to include cruise days from overseas-based vessels accrue against your status - currently, cruises booked through Carnival Australia on the Spirit (and next year, the Legend) don't add to your VIFP status points earned cruising on US-based ships. Never happen! All ten cruises I've done have been on ships owned by the Carnival Corp. as headquartered in Florida. I've brought up this subject time and again, as have many others. Not gonna happen! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branman Posted August 31, 2013 #112 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It's probably going to be an amalgamation of a bunch of things. Off of the top of my head, these are things that John Heald has talked about on his blog or facebook that haven't been announced yet: Updated menus Updated live entertainment policy New shows for the legend before it goes down under (the fact that they didn't just assign the Sunshine's playlist production shows and are holding back information is interesting) Upgrades to the Freedom, Victory, Valor, and Magic all of which have 40+ day drydocks scheduled Additionally, they have made agreements for new ports in Puerto Plata and Calica; an announcement about adding those to itineraries could happen. Finally, it makes a lot of sense to send the Legend around Asia during some seasons-- an announcement about that could happen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted August 31, 2013 #113 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Third: wasn't Carnival working to open a new port in Dominican Republic - maybe it is about to open? MAIMON is its name, but since the announcement, not a word!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted August 31, 2013 #114 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Re: Mature Gold status for those of us lost in space somewhere between 25 and 74 days on board? LOVE THIS!! 44 days and holding! Lol Don't grumble: I'm at 28 days! but at least I have another 7 to add to that (Glory ex-Manhattan in less than two weeks time) which will put me all the way up to 35 days. Wheeee! I'll likely be Gold the rest of my LIFE! :cool: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderingjew Posted August 31, 2013 #115 Share Posted August 31, 2013 MAIMON is its name, but since the announcement, not a word!.

cjknox Posted August 31, 2013 #116 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Like Princess, maybe a permanent ship from Carnival for San Francisco. This is highly unlikely to happen for a variety of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Doc Posted August 31, 2013 #117 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Since the announcement is being made by the Sales Team and is scheduled for September 9, the day after the 'trial' referral program ends, my guess is that it might be a permanent referral program.

The4Cruisers Posted August 31, 2013 #119 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I agree with the previous poster that stated it probably has to do with the travel agents and the $$ they see from Carnival bookings. Nothing to see here folks... Move on. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
