us2swingu Posted January 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have a question about going from RED to GOLD. We are currently RED with 23 days and will be on the March 8th sailing on the Liberty which will put us into the GOLD. If I understand right we will be Gold as we go onto the cruise because we will enter into the 25th day as we are on the cruise? Hope all that made sense.

firemanbobswife Posted January 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yes you will have a gold card at embarkation and, therefore, receive the gold benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZbeachboy Posted January 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Things may have changed but on our last trip we went from gold to platinum during the trip. They said we had to wait untill that trip was over. That was during the time they were changing the program. I wish you the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenderbender Posted January 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We turned gold during our 2014 cruise. We were considered gold from the start of the cruise even though we would actually turn gold midway through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone_cruisin Posted January 28, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Best thing to do is check your online documents. Your status should be adjusted to your new/future tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have had priority boarding, the full meal deal-- we did on the cruise we became Platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbird75 Posted January 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Best thing to do is check your online documents. Your status should be adjusted to your new/future tier. This is what I suggest. I am turning GOLD on the last day of our upcoming cruise yet the cruise docs have me as GOLD :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a lot of mistakes were made during the trasition. I don't think two people at Carnival knew or agreed what was suppose to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrib Posted January 28, 2015 #21 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Can anyone tell me what the benefits are for the Gold level? Carnivals' benefit page has been down for many days. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog1958 Posted January 28, 2015 #22 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Can anyone tell me what the benefits are for the Gold level?Carnivals' benefit page has been down for many days. Thanks! I think the reason for the pages being down is that carnival is making changes to the program. Per reports from some cruisers they received email from carnival indicating they are taking away the free drink coupon and replacing it with a bottle of water in the cabin.. At least for red and gold... Not sure if other changes are coming, so I would keep checking the web page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kona_wahine Posted January 28, 2015 #24 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We turn gold on our next cruise. The only benefit is a pin and ability to go to past guest party. Now they have taken our free drink coupon away. It's a loooooooooong way to platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
