VIFP status

[bravesfan19]

I am currently gold status & exactly 7 points away from platinum status. We’re booked on a 7 day cruise this September. My brother tells me that Carnival will go ahead & upgrade me to platinum Status for this cruise. Is this true?

[mondello]

Yes, enjoy the perks.

Yes, you can go into your docs, boarding pass, etc should say platinum.  😊

I love how you didn't fully trust your brother, lol.  (I get it.  I have one, too, lol.)

 

Congrats on being Platinum!

He’s not a very reputable source, even though he’s already platinum. lol

Yes and don't forget to pick up your perks including $25 dollar slot play or chips at the casino cashier window. They had stopped have slot tournament and were giving you $25 free if your Platinum or above.

So....do you mean any platinum goes over to the window and gets $25 slot play...free? Do they put it on your card?

Yep, that's what it means. They put $25 on your S&S card if you want to play slots, or $25 in chips for table games, at least that's how it went for us back in May on Horizon. Last November we sailed on the Magic, and Carnival had set up a "smoke free casino". We collected our "free play" in there, and they handed us cash!

I have received 25 dollars cash twice and 25 dollar slot credit once. If you are getting the credit, I would do the chips instead of the slot credit. The slots just eat that right up. At least if you do roulette you can have a near 50/50 chance.

Another question, this is my sons 1st cruise. Will he be grandfathered in as platinum because I am, or will he start at blue?

Yes ANY platinum can go to the casino window and get their $25 in free play. Yes if you select slots they put it on your card if you want chips they just give them to you. Enjoy

BLUE BLUE BLUE BUT if he is under your booking he will get to board with you as you get to check in 2 days early. Before covid he would have been able yo just board early with you.

Nice that you got cash. Then you can use it on anything

[swd2334]

While not going to platinum, I am 7 away from gold and can confirm that my boarding passes for my upcoming 7 day cruise on 7/30 list my VIFP as being gold so yay for my free drink on the last day of the cruise... which is kinda pointless since I have cheers, lol. Only 50 more cruise days to go to get real benefits. 😂

That was my best VIFP benefit to date. You can bet I didn't donate it to the casino! I got the cash on the Miracle and the Splendor. On the Spirirt I got the slot credit. I don't know why some ships are cash and some are credit/chips.
