Early cabin access

[camarowesley]

Do Platinum & Diamond no longer have early access to their cabin? I don't see it listed in the benefits.

You can drop your carry on luggage off and then leave.

This benefit has been "suspended" because of the extra time needed to sanitize rooms in accordance with COVID protocols. Suite guests still get this benefit however.

 

As Blerk said you can drop off your carry ons if you wish, and then leave the stateroom corridors so the stewards can continue doing their thing.

We're Diamond members here. The answer to your question is maybe 😐. Cleaning the rooms as required for covid concerns seems to be the reasoning for this.

As I and others have reported you may run into stewards that don't even want you dropping off your luggage.

We were just recently on the Mardi Gras and went to our cabin around 1230

ARe we allowed to do that? The doors typically say wait until 1:30 PM. Do we just ignore that sign go in there and tell the steward we're just dropping off the bags if they ask?

Diamond and Platinum are allowed to do that.

I've always ignored that sign and just went to room and drop off carry on, and load the safe and leave, since being platinum

Most people walk right through those doors anyways, regardless of any signs being on the door.

Ive waited and ive ignored sign.  (Wife is Plat, im a lowly Gold. Ha) 

 

We usally embark 1230ish, no rush really. But....i do like unpacking before getting the tradtional 1st lunch Guy burger.

There is no intent to disrespect anyone here with my following analysis.

 

There are some cruisers that absolutely have to be the first person on board, the first in line at the customer service desk, the first in line at Guys Burgers, the first person to the cabins. Life is really to short to worry about being the first. 

 

We have all gained some form of Carnival recognition from our loyalty to the great brand. I will never abuse my that recognition by trying to be the "first" at anytime and while on any Carnival Cruise. The rules generally say that most cabins will be ready at 1:30 PM or so. Let's just learn to follow the rules as Carnival has implemented them for a specific reason; to maintain order and safety.

 

Let's all continue to enjoy our perks of Carnival Cruising but let's also set the correct examples for our legacy Cruisers that are watching and following our moves.
