socal2fla Posted September 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Can't wait to cruise The Breeze in 83 days!! I had heard that the free logo gift for Carnival VIFP's was being changed from a baseball type cap (which most did not like), to a new item probably in the fall...possibly some type of bag. For those VIFP's who have cruised recently, what is the current gift? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socal2fla Posted September 15, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted September 15, 2013 The Tervis cups are very cool!! They still had them when we cruised in May...apparently now a ball cap with a change coming sometime later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted September 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 15, 2013 The Platinum gift is scheduled to change in October....and the news is that it is a tote or backpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiagolfer Posted September 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The Platinum gift is scheduled to change in October....and the news is that it is a tote or backpack We got a tote last year, so may be a different type if they issue again this soon. One of the best gifts we have received, along with the tumblers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off the Glory about 3 weeks ago and we got the Tervis tumblers, I love them!! :D I'm planning on bringing it with me on my next cruise, I'm sure I'll find a use for it onboard. The Platinum gift is scheduled to change in October....and the news is that it is a tote or backpack Awesome!! :D I really hope this is true, I'd love a Carnival tote or backpack!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril Posted September 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It should be free dinner in the steakhouse. That'd be awesome!! :D But, I do like having something I can take home and use again, every time I use it, I remember not just the cruise I got it on but all my Carnival cruises!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c&d Posted September 16, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I want the tumbler, we cruised in Marchon the Miracle through Panama Canal we got a tote bag the qaulity was very cheap compared to the 1st tote we received years ago. There was over 200 plantinum passengers and many of us were not happy about the tote bag. Figure Carnival was being cheap, did not want to pass out 200+ tumblers on one cruise. Hopefully on our November cruise we will get something we can use. Neither my sister or I wear ball caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robwerks Posted September 16, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The Platinum gift is scheduled to change in October....and the news is that it is a tote or backpack So ideally on our B2B in October we would get the ball caps the first week and the totes the second. It's a long shot but...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted September 16, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Do you have to be Platinum to get the gift? We're only Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted September 16, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Do you have to be Platinum to get the gift? We're only Gold. Yes, it's part of the Platinum perks to receive a Carnival logo item. You will get the invite to the past guest party and a Carnival ship pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmax Posted September 16, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Best Platinum gift we have received!! I use mine every day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snedecor Posted September 16, 2013 #16 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm not sure if Carnival knows how reviled the baseball caps are, especially for those Platinum cruisers who cruise frequently, at least those I communicate with. Many don't even like ball caps, especially women, and gee, how many ball caps can you wear?. On the other hand, the Tervis Tumblers were so popular that people are begging to swap their ball caps for TT's both onboard, and on popular social networking sites that must not be named here... Bring back the Tervis Tumblers, at least until this new Platinum cruiser has a set of 8, then you can change to something else...(OK, that's a little selfish...)

flounder315 Posted September 16, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I wish the tervis tumblers, were bigger... I will have to take my bigger one from home... But would prefer another tervis over a baseball cap anyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkportersat Posted September 16, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It really isn't a huge deal, I would prefer a tumbler but will take what they give me. I guess if it has changed I can buy my own tumbler, people make them seem pretty awesome on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofycruiser Posted September 16, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 16, 2013 We were also on the Miracle Panama Canal cruise last March. There were over 200 platinum members on that cruise. We got a tote bag that wasn't very good quality. I used it right away and by the end of the cruise one of the straps was ready to break. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate any gift but this bag was not the quality that I was used to. That was our 21st cruise so we have a lot of gifts! We are booked on a cruise in February and we will appreciate anything we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinthemed Posted September 16, 2013 #20 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I hate to sound selfish or greedy, but...We do multiple cruises in a year & I think it would be nice if there were a variety of things to choose from. We have sooo many of the same things...got all the tumblers & baseball caps we will ever need! We will see what we get in Nov. on our B2B...hmmm, what do I need 4 of??? drinks would be nice...don't have to worry how to pack them;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn buckeye Posted September 16, 2013 #21 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The Platinum gift is scheduled to change in October....and the news is that it is a tote or backpack October when? Hopefully... beginning sept.30 :D I really am not interested at all in the cap... but would trade it for a tervis tumbler :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicia Posted September 17, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I really like the original Platinum gift of the tote from 2007. I use mine all of the time. I do have a set of 8 Tervis Tumblers and am ready for the new gift in November. I have all of the previous gifts, except the hats, which we didn't want.
