One week to Platinum!!!!

[beachbum6264]

Welcome to the club! Enjoy the priority boarding - my favorite perk! Laundry is good, too! As someone else already said, debarkation is hit/miss, even on the same ship :confused:

[Kristi Williamson]

Ours comes up October 12th on the Breeze!!! Got excited seeing Priority on our boarding pass. Sounds silly, but I love the thought of not standing in lines to board and getting my laundry done before I come home!!! :):D

We are leaving Sat for New Orleans , boarding the Conquest on Sunday, 2nd cruise being Platinum, love it, so easy to board!!

Same here with our B2B on the Victory leaving 8/29. Will be platinum (9th and 10th) for us. Have you joined the roll call?

 

No, I haven't. I looked once but it didn't seem very busy. How's it going?

[San_Antonio_Ex]

I hit it Nov 3rd on the Valor. The Boarding Pass and Luggage tags look good don't they.

 

Yes, they do!! I even downloaded my cruise docs on a flash drive and took them to the UPS store and printed them on a color printer. That's how much I loved them! :D:o:D

[San_Antonio_Ex]

Thanks everyone!!! I'm really looking forward to it.

 

Congratulations to all of you as well. Carnival really knew what it was doing when they grandfathered folks in if they hit 10 cruises by December 31. LOL

I don't understand these 'dates' as to when you become platinum? Wouldn't you become platinum on the last day of the cruise that made you qualify??? Obviously I'm missing something here.

 

My tenth Carnival cruise begins Nov. 19. I will receive a platinum sail and sign card and the platinum benefits throughout that cruise.

So, to me, I 'become' platinum Nov. 19.

(after 12-31-13 the criteria changes to 75 nights sailed.)

Congrats. Enjoy your cruise.

I hit platinum on my Dec 13th cruise. We didn't cruise last summer or the summer before that (I did sneak in a 3-night cruise in Feb 2012) so my 10th is hitting just before the deadline.. I was the incentive to get my husband to go on another cruise. he could take them or leave them.

 

Congratulations everyone on hitting Platinum.

Platinum status is reached on the first day of the 10th cruise, until 12/31/13. Then the rules change and status is reached on the first day of the cruise that includes the 76th sail day.

August 31 for us on the Triumph. This will be our first cruise booked under 7 days, see what we think!

Congrats on joining the club. We will see you on the 2nd half of your back to back. This will be my wife's platinim cruise as well.

[Bigbob75]

[riclop]

Congrats and enjoy your cruise.

We have paid for cruises for our kid's.

Why can't those be applied to our CCL credit????

We have 4 young adults, that we have paid for in the past.? Pre-and grad cruises. Along with a B-Day cruise etc.

If we pay for the cruise why can't we count that as credit towards our future cruises?

I just realized that CCL has none of my past cruises up on line.

Remarried 3 years ago. New last name. Updated all info last cruise but nothing shows up on CCL.

What give's??

Now I'm really confused. According to Carnival, my next cruise is my first. :eek:

They sure did know what they were doing. We booked a B2B for January 2013 which put us at Platinum level. We even got the benefits of Platinum on our 9th cruise because it was a B2B on the same ship.

 

I was very surprised to get PRIORITY on the 9th cruise and figured we wouldn't be able to take advantage of Priority boarding till our 2014 cruises. We also liked it because we got Platinum gift on both cruises so came home with 4 Tervis Tumblers which we use all the time.
