bluecruisin Posted February 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2022 We have not sailed with Carnival for almost 10 years went ahead and booked one today and rec'd invoice which reminded me we are Platinum. Does Carnival still offer benefits and what would ours be? Thanks for your help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn77 Posted February 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Yes. Except for priority boarding if it's in the near future. Go to the Carnival site and find VIFP benefits. There are several, but many are watered down during Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNcruising02 Posted February 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2022 One benefit that is happening now is that platinums can check in online for their cruise two days earlier (16 days out) than the general passengers. This gives them the opportunity to select an early appointment time. I checked in just after midnight eastern time 16 days out and got 10:00 to 10:30 appointment time and boarding zone A02 on the Mardi Gras cruise this month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to check-in at 16 days and apparently need to wait until midnight 2/15 (15 days) to check in for 3/03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to check in after waiting for midnight on the night of the 9th for my cruise on the 26th. Official check in date was the 10th.

pe4all Posted February 15, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2022 They send you on a scavenger hunt to get some of your platinum benefits. Go to any bar to get your large water, go to Pixels to get your gift, call room service to get your chocolate plate. Laundry still the same, dedicated line at guest service still the same.

mondello Posted February 15, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Don't forget to pick up your pin at Pixels, too. Also, since they're not doing the slots tournament, you get $25 cash/FunPlay in the casino. I think there is a free drink or two somewhere?

We're turning platinum on our upcoming cruise. How does the laundry work, I know 3 bags per person. Is that all one day or any time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're 7 night so I think 3 bags each. By the time we get there, we'll need a few things laundered and then later the week will certainly be handy. I was always amazed by how much we could fit in those bags back in the "We'll wash whatever you can stuff in this bag for $20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizCuz Posted February 15, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) I am Platinum but have never done the laundry service. Does the room steward leave a bag for you or do I have to ask for it? Do they offer this service for a 4 day cruise?

I think you'll have to ask for it. Some ships hand you cash, some may load it on your card or even give you chips. They ask if you play slots or tables. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually a bag or 2 and a laundry list left in your cabin on the desk, in a desk drawer or near the safe. You can ask your steward for more if needed. I always leave a $5 bill on top of the bag and usually get it back the same day. 2 bags pp on 3-6 day cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the cash. It must differ ship to ship. On the Breeze in August they loaded it to my card. On the Valor in November and January they handed me cash. Both happened at the cage. If I wanted it loaded to my S&S card, I had to go to Guest Services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 3 bags per platinum member or 3 bags per person in the cabin? 2 of us are gold and 1 platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
