perks for previous carnival passengers

[travelingran]

what if any perks does on get if they have cruised with carnival on previous occasions :confused: :confused: :confused:

[lcpagejr]

Until you reach Platinum (10 cruises)...very little. Only perk of value is past passenger party where you can score some free drinks for an hour

[yeg111]

The only thing you get, as far as I know, is special rates on some cruises. Once onboard you get invited to a past guest cocktail party. I did also get a Glory pin.

We also get the "Welcome back!" from crew members when they see our S&S card.

In all honesty, RCCL has a much better loyalty program than Carnival

[mom2girls]

Yes, RCCL does have better perks. It's nice to get the little coupon booklet and welcome back gift. But overall, I still like Carnival better.

The perks aren't great (the past guests coctail party and sometimes a ship's pin) but I still like cruising Carnival. Oh, after 10 cruises, you do get VIP boarding.

Odd, but didn't know that. Thought it was for those who had 5 or more cruises with RCI. Went last November on the Mariner but wasn't allowed in the VIP line, although we have previously sailed with RCI. Will try it out on our next cruise with them.

We also liked the coupon booklet, in fact we used most of the coupons.:D

Yeah, we used many of the coupons as well. I wish Carnival would do something like that.

I dont think they meant that after your first cruise you got to go in the VIP line on RCL. I think you took the post too literally, they just meant at some point its available.

Thanks firefly, you may be correct. I was just responding to personal experiences. But VIP or not, a cruise is a cruise no matter which line I'm in.:cool:

We've only sailed once on Carnival, but when I booked my August cruise on the Holiday, I got a "past guest" discount which gave me an oceanview room for the price of an inside room.

[selucrey]

There are a few "perks" if you are on a past guest Cruise. We received a small discount on price and in our cabin there was a tote-bag with t-shirts,towels,pins and other little trinkets.

we were on our third cruise and we were allowed to go through the vip line. maybe it has changed. we were sitting in the long line, and i cannot remember how we learned that we did not need to be in that line and we went to the shorter line and were on ship in no time.
