Platinum status is quite nice -- the best perk IMO is the priority embarkation. The other stuff (free laundry, various treats delivered to your room throughout the cruise, a free gift) are also quite nice. Also nice is the special Platinum line at the pursers information desk... especially when the regular line is very crowded.

Our upcoming cruise is our 4th on Carnival, how many cruise gets you the Platinum status and what does Platinum status give you?

 

Thanks all!

 

After ten cruises you have Platinum status. You get some nice things. Priorty embarkation and debarkation. Personalized stationary. Complimentary laundry service. Priorty on tenders. And of course an upgrade.

It is after 9 completed cruises that you are eligible for Platinum. On your 10th cruise, you will receive your Platinum card.

My mother will be on her 10th Carnival cruise in May. Do I need to call my PVP or do anything for her? Or does Carnival automatically take care of this?

Thanks.

It will be automatically done for them. On their luggage tags it should have VIP on them as well as their documentation. They can go to Carnival.com and check their past history to make sure all the cruises are documented.

My wife is rapidly approaching Platinum status (cruises #8 and #9 in the next six weeks) so we were interested in this thread. We have read the Carnival site concerning the perks associated with this status but we have a question about the post quoted above. It mentions "an upgrade" and I cannot find anything in Carnival's literature that mentions that being a part of Platinum status. Did I miss something?

FYI - when we earned our Platinum status last June, we were celebrating our 45th Anniversary as well and we were taking 5 other family members with us and paying for their cabin. CARNIVAL had noted that in their records and our whole family was escorted on and off the ship as well, which included leaving for excursions early with no waiting in lines and priority seating in the dining room even though we were doing the Open Seating thing. They were not given the free gifts or goodies but they enjoyed the VIP Treatment, especially one of our grandsons who got the VIP luggage tags as he was staying in our cabin!

I've been on 9 Carnival Cruises so far and have my 10th one booked for May 2011. In my cruise history it does not reflect my first 3 cruises (taken in 87, 88 and 93). I called Carnival about a year or so ago to try to get them to add my first cruises and the person I spoke with said their database didn't go back that far to add my cruises in??? I never followed up with anyone else. I'm wondering if I should send it receipts, booking numbers, maybe even photo's of me showing the dates and the ship to see if they would add them in.

 

Any suggestions?:confused:

I have 3 from approx the same years, and I just let it go, because I know I cant prove it that far back. I sure dont save records that far back. Iv always felt I was platinum before Carnival said I was because of those 3 uncounted cruises.

 

If you have proof send it to Carnival. They will credit them.

 

Do all cruises count toward platinum. For example a three day cruise?

 

yes, all cruises on carnival count the same.
