LetsTango Posted October 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Does anyone know when Gold status is attained ? It seems as we board our Oct 2018 cruise we would be starting our 25th day of cruising. Does this make us Gold upon boarding or do we have to complete the cruise first?

Shaded Lady Posted October 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Gold happens on the cruise in which you sail your 25th day, so yes, you should be gold the day you embark, and get the benefits (not that many but what the heck!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2017 If you have enough days to become gold any day on the cruise, including the last, you will be gold when you board. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeinthesand Posted October 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It should already reflect that when you print your boarding passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinfool Posted October 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Somebody help me...when you attain gold you get little more than an Attaboy from Carnival. Yes/No?? We are gold....have been forever, but I don't remember anything special because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilcruisers Posted October 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2017 You get a giant bottle of water in the cabin , a year specific lapel pin and a free drink coupon for the last day of the cruise. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angoracruiser Posted March 31, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 31, 2018 We are going gold on our July 9 2018 cruise. Now begins the march to platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted March 31, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Mark these words. Gold will have more benefits by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angoracruiser Posted March 31, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Mark these words. Gold will have more benefits by the end of the year. I am about to turn gold, so that sounds like a good thing. How, Joebucks, do you know this to be the case? Also, what benefits do you anticipate? Right now I am looking forward to my 1 liter of water, a gold plated pin, and a free drink on the last night of the cruise. What else could there be beyond these bountiful perks?

ParrotRob Posted April 1, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I have 20 days right now, and I'm booked on a 7-day in May. My boarding pass for the May cruise already shows me Gold even though I won't hit 25 days until the 5th day of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaz Posted April 1, 2018 #22 Share Posted April 1, 2018 You are Gold from the first day of the cruise. This is something that Carnival unequivocally does BETTER than Royal. On Royal, you do not get your next-tier status until after the qualifying cruise is completed. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are gold....have been forever, but I don't remember anything special because of it. Log into Carnival's site. Click on Manage My Cruise. Then click on VIFP Club. That gives a list of what is available in each category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are my suggestions for additional gold perks: 1. Commemorative shot glass 2. Basic carnival T-shirt 3. Free photo 5 x 7 from Pixels 4. Free glass of wine at main dining room 5. Free cigar in the Havana Bar-1 per cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
