New VIP programme

By reading the chart on the Carnival site, it appears that the Past Guest gathering is for Gold and up. Now if we have 18 days sailed already which makes us Red, would we be eligible for the party on our upcoming cruise in August since that would make us Gold during/after we finish sailing? I was trying to find the answer on the site, but it kept timing out,.

you don't get credit for days sailed until after the cruise

Just a guess, but you will be whatever level you are at the start of the cruise. Just like you are whatever age you are at the start of the cruise.

From what I have read, Yes, you will be gold on your next cruise, and so you will get a invite to the past guest party if the cruise puts you over 25 days

 

YES

 

PS Carnival has always made you the upcoming level when you board the cruise that gives you enough for that next loyalty level. I have no reason to think this will change plus someone else posted the same question and reply from John and it appeared the answer was yes.

Members will be deemed a certain “Level” in the Club depending on the number of the VIFP Points earned. The following number of VIFP Points must be earned to be awarded the corresponding Level. *A Member will be a deemed a “Blue” Level Member once the Member registers for the Club and such Member will be deemed a “Red” Level Member once the Member embarks on a second Cruise. * All earnings after that are based on the number of Days a Member accrues on eligible Cruises.

 

Not withstanding the foregoing, in the event a Member books a Cruise in which such Member will attain the necessary VIFP Points to reach a new Level during or by the end of such Cruise (a “Crossover Cruise”), CCL may, in its sole discretion, offer such Member the Benefits offered to Members of the higher Level during the Crossover Cruise.

 

 

 

From FAQ

http://www.carnival.com/loyalty/faqs.aspx

 

VIFP Club members will automatically move from one level to the next level based on their VIFP Points, and will receive the benefits of their level on each sailing.

 

Guests graduating into a new level during a cruise will receive the benefits of the new level they are graduating into from the beginning of the cruise (e.g. those graduating to Gold on the 3rd day of a 5-day cruise will receive Gold benefits for the entire duration of their cruise).

 

While guests are automatically eligible for their benefits, some Diamond level benefits must be requested at the time of booking (e.g. one-time benefits).
