Retiredmedic Posted March 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2022 What I have read from previous posts on this subject the perks are all there just the trinkets you get vary due to supply issues, but you still get a trinket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First cruise since covid coming up. There is a QR code to scan in your cabin. You have to fetch some perks, they're not left in your cabin. Pixels: pickup Platinum/Diamond gift and ship pin. Get big bottle of water at any bar. $25 cash/chips/credit from Casino cashier since slots tourney suspended. Cherry On Top for chocolate covered strawberries. Priority embarkation suspended but you get 2 day head start for online check-in. Free drink in there somewhere, should be credit on your folio to cover free drink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they are probably seeing some savings as many may skip getting one or more perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know on the cruise we just got off of we only got (ordered) one chocolate delight, instead of the 2 we usually would get in the cabin. After seeing the platinum gift (drink coozie) we only got one of them. We didn't do sea day brunch, so "wasted" 2 drinks we didn't get in dining room. Many people we spoke with were not going on the scavenger hunt needed for the items no longer given in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird because we never received more than one before Covid. It doesn't really matter to me because I don't like strawberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really matter to me because I don't like strawberries. We were on Freedom end of January. Called room service, and they delivered 2 chocolate delights as they said there were 2 Plats in cabin. On Horizon (last week) we called up and they only delivered one, even though they knew there were 2 Plats in the cabin. Guess it is hit and miss!

Rare ledges1 Posted March 9, 2022 #14 Share Posted March 9, 2022 On the Freedom last week, the Diamond/Platinum party lasted at most 25 minutes. They could not get us out fast enough. Said it was a schedule conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of the scavenger hunt Carnival is forcing us to do. IMO they could very well gather everything together and place them in the cabins, makes no sense to me that they're not doing that (except for the chocolate covered strawberries)! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
