southbayer Posted August 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi, I have a friend who works for Carnival, and she tells me if you request at the information desk, you can trade in your *&^% redesigned card for one of the older ones. Has anyone done this before ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 10, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Why would someone want to?? Just curious?? Am I missing out on something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbayer Posted August 10, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Its just that a lot of folks don't like the redesigned look of the cards, and think they older ones look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedQueen77 Posted August 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Who really cares what it looks like as long as it functions? Sheesh....people get hung up on the weirdest things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payd Posted August 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Its just that a lot of folks don't like the redesigned look of the cards, and think they older ones look better. I think the old ones do look better...not sure I'd ask for a replacement though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelntreats Posted August 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Unless trading in the new style for the old ones will offer a lower end result on my bill.... I could care less what they look like ! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayleR Posted August 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2009 What do they look like? Can someone post a picture of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGP1111 Posted August 10, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think the old ones do look better...not sure I'd ask for a replacement though! Ditto. The old style definitely looked better to me, but I'm gonna keep whatever they hand me at embarkation and be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted August 10, 2009 #10 Share Posted August 10, 2009 What do they look like? Can someone post a picture of one? Here is the old card: I will try to find the newer ones. To confuse it even more, there are "new new" ones that are being phased in as well.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rednose83 Posted August 10, 2009 #12 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I don't think they're too bad. Do the colors reflect the level cruiser you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted August 10, 2009 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I don't think they're too bad. Do the colors reflect the level cruiser you are? Yes. Blue= First cruise Gold= 2nd through 9th Platinum= 10+ Platinum Milestone= 25+ I can't find the pictures, but the "new new" ones I spoke of look similar to the new ones. Except that the background color is the blue, gold or platinum and the waves are white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbiggar Posted August 10, 2009 #14 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Just curious if anyone has seen a milestone sail and sign card? We are two cruises away from milestone level, but never seen one or even thought they had a different one for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyluver Posted August 10, 2009 #16 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am looking forward to getting a new one, I forgot all about it until i read this post. They changed them out right after our last cruise. I have enough of the old style bring on the new.... and hopefully not to long until i get another "colour!!"

happy cruzin Posted August 10, 2009 #17 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Here is the old and the "new new" (finally found them). So...are these the ones that are being used now :confused:. I am kinda looking forward to a "new" card. I have kept all of mine and am ready for a change ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnie Posted August 10, 2009 #18 Share Posted August 10, 2009 They could give me a piece of toilet paper. As long as it did the job I wouldn't care. What difference does it make? Is there not enough gold or silver coloring to show your cruising status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there not enough gold or silver coloring to show your cruising status? I agree...there are more important things to worry about from a cruise line...may be they want real gold/platinum plating on the card...let CCL keep up nice, clen ships with greast service and they can give out whatever cards they want!

lady_cruiser Posted August 10, 2009 #22 Share Posted August 10, 2009 TO THE OP: While I don't care what my sea pass card looks like it was nice that you let everyone know that they do have an option. When our credit union came out with a new design on their debit cards I decided that I preferred the old style so I kept it. After all I am the one that has to look at it every time I pull it out of my purse. Don't worry about the negative remarks. You have been here long enough to know that with every question, answer or remark you will get a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't care what they look like then don't respond to the thread!

kimspony Posted August 10, 2009 #24 Share Posted August 10, 2009 New ones look better. I do disagree with the toilet paper as a card. If it were to get wet it would fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
