Rare TravelE Posted January 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2019 1. Yes 2. Are you asking if you get to skip the line? Then no. "Does not apply to wait time when 'Your Time Seating' is requested." 3. Not sure, we got the bag in September. There is a new gift but I don't know if the ships have them yet. 4.

Rare mamiamjo Posted January 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Additional Platinum question: How does priority boarding for Platinum and Diamond work with the port Arrival Time windows assigned? For example, we have an arrival time of 12:30-1:00. How does the priority boarding benefit work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candigirl41 Posted January 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You can go before your check in time if you are Platinum. It doesn't matter what your check in time is. Candi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottacruises Posted January 15, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Your expectations for platinum status appears to be too high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted January 15, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thank you everybody. Lottacruises, I have no idea what you are talking about......they are simple questions, I have not cruised on Carnival the past few years, things can change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizc7gb Posted January 17, 2019 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2019 My first cruise at platinum level is in May. We are going to Half Moon Cay and I was wondering how the tender process will work with having priority. My husband is not going to be platinum on this cruise and we are traveling with friends who will still be gold. Will my husband and 2 friends be allowed to tender with me or will I have to tender alone if I want to use the priority tender benefit? Also can I bring my husband with me to the platinum party. If not it's no big deal I just won't go. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, cue up the people who have braced crew to demand to bring a partner or brought additional uninvited people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted January 17, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The previous poster answered your questions already, but just wanted.to add one point. Carnival no longer uses the term tendering, they call it water shuttles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, we have an arrival time of 12:30-1:00. How does the priority boarding benefit work? Keep in mind that the arrival time slot is for entering the terminal. Not boarding the ship. With Platinum/Diamond and FTTF, no matter what time you check in slot is, you can enter as soon as the terminal opens. You won't board until they clear the ship from the last cruise. When it is cleared, you will be one of the first ones to board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bring other members of your group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like she said......You can definitely bring your spouse without any concern. My DH made Platinum Before I did and we checked with guest services on each cruise before the party and "with absolutely no strong arming" they all smiled and said of course your spouse can attend with you. So go and have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted January 17, 2019 Author #21 Share Posted January 17, 2019 What exactly is the platinum party like? I gather free drinks and a bunch of talk about the cruise line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather free drinks and a bunch of talk about the cruise line? Free drinks and snacks. Most of the senior staff of the ship is there. They have games like guess the ship, guess what the crew epilats mean, guess how many pieces of candy are in a bag, etc. They always show a short video with pictures of every Carnival ship. It’s usually a decent event that we enjoy going to, but we don’t consider it a must attend event. I have seen where they would not allow any guests to the party, including spouses, but that was due to an extremely large number of D&Ps on the cruise.

Yes, got one over NYE on the Breeze. 2. No. 3. Blanket 4. No, and it is HORRIBLE!!!!! I will say on our RCI Freedom of the Seas cruise in July, the internet service was 50X better than the Breeze. Carnival really needs to do something if they are going to charge the prices they charge for “Premium” internet!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one person asked to see my invite or my card as I entered the lounge. Enjoyed unlimited beverages and appetizers. Waiters walking around with pre made drinks, or you could go to the bar and get anything you wanted. Keep in mind, only Platinum and Diamond guests get the invites, so I guess they think if you are there, you must have been invited. Never have understood that. I think the invites say to bring them with you, but in many cruises I have never had anyone check for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted January 17, 2019 Author #25 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yes, RC internet is excellent and your right I paid for the premium internet but trust me, if it isn't working good I will ask for a refund and disconnection.
