GoinCruisin Posted February 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The day of the week varies, and you will get the invite a day or two before the party... Also, it's generally in the afternoon, not at night... generally around 4:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_pirate Posted February 3, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You will get your past guest invite on your next cruise most likely on the second day or first day at sea. You will also get gold cards now!:) Lonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacruznmood Posted February 3, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Is there a certain dress code for the past guest party?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosebud5t Posted February 3, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2008 There's no dress code, but most people dress up a little... like you would dress for dinner. Tammy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted February 3, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Is there a certain dress code for the past guest party?:) The dress you will see varies... it's generally casual, but many early diners will be dressed in their dinner wear, some will be much more casual.

Cotton Posted February 4, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2008 As above, the time varies cruise to cruise. I've never been to a PG party that was held in the afternoon, but could be that way on my next cruise, who knows? The ones I've attended, folks are usually dressed for dinner...nice casual. Enjoy your party!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your party!:) Cotton, when have they usually held them? I think every ship I've been on it has been in the afternoon at 4:30 (although I recall one being at 4) I would think any later and they run into dinner time (even at 4:30 they have been pushing it in the past), but any earlier and they risk too many people staying for deck activities or in port... Actually, now that I think about it, I wish they would make them a different more inconvenient time :p LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizinMom2c Posted February 4, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Do you get gold cards on a short cruise too? I know we wont have a party on this ship.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted February 4, 2008 #10 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Do you get gold cards on a short cruise too? I know we wont have a part on this ship.... You get gold cards on your 2nd cruise, regardless of length... You won't get a pin or party, but you'll get your S&S card for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted February 4, 2008 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Do you get gold cards on a short cruise too? I know we wont have a part on this ship.... You will receive a gold card on your second through ninth sailing, length isn't an issue. From your tenth sailing onward you will receive a platinum card along with a number of perks. :) Lucy, We have attended past guest parties at a wide range of times from 4:00 pm to as late as 8:00 pm. On our Conquest sailing last year our party was held at 7:00 pm in the Degas lounge. Our sailing must have been filled with past guests as it was the third consecutive PG party held there that day, the first being at 5:00 and the second at 6:00. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good..thanks! We plan on booking the Glory for a 7 day cruise in october...so we can do the party then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicia Posted February 4, 2008 #13 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Our past guest party on the Freedom in the Med this summer was at 11 AM just before we pulled into Venice. That was way too early but the next week (we did a b2b) the party was in the evening. You really won't know until you get your invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sailing for the second time this spring on Carnival and so I'm looking forward to that past guest party. Do they really give out pins to past guests?

captswanson Posted February 4, 2008 #16 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Most of the past guest parties we have been to were in the evening. We received our invintation and pins either the day before or the afternoon of the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted February 4, 2008 #17 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hey GC... The earliest I've ever been to a PG party was around 5:30, and only once. Most have been somewhere around 7:15 or 7:30 (which is not good for folks who have 6:15 dinner like I usually do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzardlane Posted February 4, 2008 #18 Share Posted February 4, 2008 We were second-time cruisers on the Miracle and got the pretty gold S&S cards, pins and an invitation to the reception (5 pm). The invitation came the day before (along with the pins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachh2o Posted February 4, 2008 #20 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Do you get gold cards on a short cruise too? I know we wont have a party on this ship.... A Gold card, which designates you as a Past Customer, is issued when checking in & boarding your cruise ship. If you haven't cruised (with Carnival) its red/white/blue.

KTeaRN Posted February 4, 2008 #21 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My DH & I are cruising in July, but only I am a past guest. What happens with that? Are we both invited to the PG party? Also, what do we do there? (@ the party) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 4, 2008 #22 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Only the past guest is invited. You need your invitation to get into the lounge. Every member of the party/cabin who is a past guest will receive the invite and pin. But remember: Past Guest parties are only held on cruises five days or longer.

I can't imagine them having a party when more than half the people are at dinner... but I guess that cuts down on the number of guests that attend :p LOL! I think ours have always been between 4-5, I guess that's why it always seems SO crowded... definitely not something I would skip dinner for, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your cruise is five nights or longer, yes you should all receive invitations to the PG party, as well as ship pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what do we do there? (@ the party) Thanks! We have cruised before with family members who were not past guests and as long as we were all in the same cabin we were all invited. And we all attended. Ginny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
