mejoe39 Posted August 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I will become Platinum on my next Cruise (10/31/2015) and, according to Carnival's website you get the VIFP level that you are advancing to for the entire cruise if it happens in the middle of the cruise. So I am going from Gold to Platinum but will be Platinum from the start. My question is about traveling with a Gold level person. Since Platinum members get priority board can we both board together even though they are Gold? Does anyone have first hand experience with this issue? Thanks for your help.

snc_cam Posted August 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Joe, If you are under the same booking #, my experience has been that you will both board under the Platinum. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe If you are in the same cabin and print your boarding pass together your gold member will be able to board with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mejoe39 Posted August 13, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted August 13, 2015 We do have the same booking number and are both listed on the boarding document. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted August 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yes, you will board together. I did this two weeks ago with my blue card granddaughter. As long as the same cabin, no problem. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadan1 Posted August 13, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2015 My mom and I have done this a few times (I'm platinum; she's gold). We print the all-in-one boarding pass and check in together in the platinum lounge/line--they always have both our cards waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise to live Posted August 13, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I will get my days in on the next cruise, but it will be my 10th cruise. Will I get on as platinum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilgr Posted August 13, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I will get my days in on the next cruise, but it will be my 10th cruise. Will I get on as platinum? If you accumulate enough points to change VIFP levels mid cruise you will begin the cruise at the higher level. Not certain how the number of cruises would change that.

Joe This happened to us in San Juan, I hit Platinum, other person did not. We check in together, board together etc. In ports where you tender they can go with you.

kicia Posted August 13, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 13, 2015 That was before the levels changed to number of days. Now if you have 75 days you don't have to have 10 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted August 13, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I get my number on the last day of the cruise. I thought I read that you become Platinum on the 10 cruise. Only if you had 10 cruises by Dec 31 2013, otherwise you need 75 cruise nights to hit Platinum now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary49 Posted August 14, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Does that also mean that if you are platinum and traveling with a Gold member they get to go to the Special Party and receive the gifts as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadan1 Posted August 14, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Does that also mean that if you are platinum and traveling with a Gold member they get to go to the Special Party and receive the gifts as well? No-the gifts and party are still just for the platinum member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
