OyWthThPdlsAlrdy Posted July 31 #3 Share Posted July 31 You move up to platinum upon disembarkation. You’ll then be platinum in your next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV1 Posted July 31 Author #4 Share Posted July 31 Ok thanks, that's kinda a bummer since it's a 10 day, it's different from Carnival, they make it official at the beginning of the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prov2727 Posted July 31 #7 Share Posted July 31 I turned gold over my last cruise and they sent up appetizers. (and I was on a shore excursion and had no idea how long they had been sitting out so I had to throw them away, LOL) I will hit platinum on the last day of my next cruise.

Appetizers for being gold??? I was on three cruises as gold and never got anything except water. (Not that I wanted anything, not even the water, but still...)

Maleficent's Dad Posted July 31 #9 Share Posted July 31 When we turned gold, we had water in our room and strawberries delivered during the trip. We'll be platinum in September... Will have to wait until next summer to enjoy the perks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 1 point from platinum and we had a 14-day cruise coming up, so we found a short one to push us over the edge. 6 hours ago, zqvol said: Are two dinners and a bag of laundry worth the cost of a 3 day cruise. It's another cruise! Of course it's worth it! 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take another cruise any day. Moving up one status level is just icing on the cake! 😍🎂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish, but Im in Nebraska, I have to fly anywhere I want to cruise and the Alaska cruise is 30 days off, so nope, I'll just eat my sour grapes, lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that any of the perks really matter to me, but my non-Platinum daughter will appreciate my bag of laundry on the TA we both do in November/December. She's staying in Miami a couple of days after the cruise and is more picky about what she wears than I am. (To be honest, most people probably are...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because it's a loop cruise having a couple of rotating embarkments in Barcelona and Rome (Civitawhatever), we will miss out on the Behind the Scenes tour and the Wines Around the World, as those slots will be filled before we board. We'll still get two extra dinners and laundry...(and strawberries...even though they're now reportedly strawberry halves). But I guess it's something... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDONCHICK Posted August 2 #16 Share Posted August 2 IMO, platinum isn't that big of a deal. Nice, yes. But not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorothyB Posted August 2 #17 Share Posted August 2 I thought Platinum was a big deal, but not so much benefit to moving up to Sapphire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
