bravesfan19 Posted July 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

swd2334 Posted July 22, 2022 #22 Share Posted July 22, 2022 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. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
