Sbjefm Posted August 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I currently have 15 VIFP points. I am looking at booking a 10 day cruise for my husband and I which would put me into gold status with 25 points. Does that kick in after I cruise, on the last day of the cruise or prior to cruising?

christyran1228 Posted August 12, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2018 We have 23 days, will reach gold on our 2nd day of our upcoming cruise. My boarding passes say VIFP level - Gold. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&Jfamily Posted August 12, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Just be careful with the math - the day you arrive back is port does NOT count as a cruise day. Cruise days are departure until day before return to port. So if Carnival has it listed as a 10 day cruise, yes, you should be gold from the beginning.

Rare sparks1093 Posted August 13, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2018 We were in the same boat, so to speak, when we boarded Pride in February- we officially turned gold during the trip but we boarded as gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the correct number of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several things could be happening here, 1) you need to make your final payment, if you have done so, then 2) call Carnival and ask for a supr., they might have to call the dept. that does the change!

If you will turn gold on this cruise, your boarding pass and other document will show your gold status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommao729 Posted August 16, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Just checked my cruises. I have 3 cruises that equal 24 points. It also says I’m 1 point away from gold. My cruise was paid in full. Still shows red on cruise documents. I did call and they told me that I will have to wait till I board and then after the first night I will receive the perks of being gold. I will call tomorrow and ask why I do not have gold documents and others have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantbob Posted August 16, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 16, 2018 We just did this last year. "Turned" gold on day 3, but we boarded with gold cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommao729 Posted August 16, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Did you have gold documents or red? Also my husband won’t be moving up to gold. Does that have something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christyran1228 Posted August 16, 2018 #20 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Did you have gold documents or red? Also my husband won’t be moving up to gold. Does that have something to do with it? It shouldn't ... one should be red, the other gold. Looking at your boarding passes, did you scroll down and look at both of them? Or just the first one?
