Question about Platinum Status

I currently have 68 points (Gold) and booked a 7 day cruise. Will I be given Platinum status for this entire cruise? How does this work? Is there anything I need to do? Thank you so much for your help!

Yes, you will be given platinum status for the entirety of the cruise. Nothing you need to do. Your boarding pass and luggage tags will say, "priority."

Welcome to the masses of Platinum members ;p

Enjoy your new FREE perks!

As long as Carnival has your history you will get all the platinum perks

Easy to make sure, your boarding pass will have priority and your luggage tags will have prioity on them

We have 69 days and are going on a 7 day. When I asked, the PVP told me that, no, we will be gold and not platinum until the 6th day. But, we will get full platinum benefits from the beginning and all our documents will show platinum. What????????

Is this the same concept as

" double secret probation " from Animal House?

Your PVP does not know the drill. Yes, your boarding pass will say priority, and your sail & sign card will be 'platinum'. But if for some reason you don't sail, your status will revert back to gold. EM

Thank you all! I am so excited. My fiancé and I are also getting married on this cruise!!

Here's a hypothetical question. What if I don't sail, but it's too late for any refund? Do I still get credit for the sea days since I did, in fact, pay for the cruise?

Nope, you must sail.

Nope, you must sail.

I thought so. Thanks

If your 75th day is the debark day, not usually. It is the exception, If the 75th day falls the day before, usually yes.

Just an FYI My own platinum experience.

I just got back from a B2B on the Vista.

A 6 day followed by an 8day. I was not due to be platinum until the 8 day but since the cruises were linked we had platinum privilege for the 6 day as well!!!!

We got platinum gifts and perks for both sailings,

So if I booked say three 25-day cruises...back to back to back...I could be platinum on my first cruise?

I would doubt they would go for that

I would find a new pvp who understands Carnival policies

Not on Carnival - they don't do 25 day cruises.

Your PVP is correct. It is customary, but not guaranteed, that you will receive the benefits from day 1. If you interrupt your cruise prior to achieving 75 days, you still won't be Platinum.

What if I booked say three 24-day cruises and a 3-day cruise back to back to back...to back?

This is very intriguing to me! We're doing our first back to back in April, and won't technically turn Platinum until the second leg. Did you do anything special to "link" your 2 cruises?

What if I booked say three 24-day cruises and a 3-day cruise back to back to back...to back?

I am only aware of one 24 day Carnival cruise currently scheduled.

Splendor to Singapore is the only one Carnival is offering that is more than 14 days.
