Purplesky723 Posted August 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hello, my bf and I are looking to book another cruise. We currently are red with 18 days at sea. If we book a 6 day, we will have 24 days. Would that still be considered red? Thanks! Sent from my SM-G965U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billslowsky Posted August 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Yes. No updates until after the sail ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotscrapz Posted August 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 11, 2018 If you turn a new level at any point during the cruise booked then you get the card of the new level. But at 24 you'll still be red. last week I sailed and was at 24 / red before this 8 day and as if would turn gold this sailing by adding the 8 day I received the gold status and card when I boarded. in your case you're red now and will still be red even after this sailing. Next sailing you'll get your gold card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotscrapz Posted August 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Yes. No updates until after the sail ends. No you receive the status of what you are including the current sailing. I was at 24 red when I boarded last week for an 8 day and thus I boarded at gold since I would be go of after that sailing. Carnival counts the days of the cruise you board and gives you those days when you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the actual wording (emphasis added): ...in the event a Member books a Cruise in which such Member will attain the necessary VIFP Points to reach a new Level during or by the end of such Cruise (a “Crossover Cruise”), CCL may, in its sole discretion, offer such Member the Benefits offered to Members of the higher Level during the Crossover Cruise. https://www.carnival.com/vifp/terms-and-conditions.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasGuy75219 Posted August 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Turns out you're both kind of correct. Here's the actual wording (emphasis added): https://www.carnival.com/vifp/terms-and-conditions.aspx Gold requires 25 points. OP has 18 days now and will only be at 24 at the end of a 6 day cruise.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted August 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Book a 7 day and you will board gold[emoji1] My name is IntrepidFromDC and I agree with this message. I turn platinum on my 8/28 Horizon sailing, and I turned gold in the middle of a sailing a few years back and it was nice to have the water in the room and the other gold perks. Now I get free wash and fold, I can't wait to see my whites turn grey!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the actual wording (emphasis added): https://www.carnival.com/vifp/terms-and-conditions.aspx I've never heard of them not giving the next level to anyone if they turn during their cruise. That wording was probably put there in case they ever wanted to change their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will receive that on their next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccer Posted August 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 12, 2018 What are the other Gold perks? Actually, water is a Red perk also so only additional perks are drink and gold pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
