Check in question, need some help

[Yazoo cruiser]

Wife and I are both platinum, 11 days short of diamond. We are planning on taking my daughter, her husband and our 2 grandkids this fall. We did this a couple of years ago and if I remember correctly we were able to go through priority check in if we were all using my credit card. Do I remember correctly or was I dreaming? THANKS.

Unless there is a LOOONG priority line, you should all be able to check in together, since it's all on one bill....once you get there, they'll let you know!

They have let me do that in the past when my mother was sailing with me in a separate cabin. We were both on my cc.

We just had the same situation in Tampa. Daughter, Gold, on my account and bf had to board with reg zoned. Only we had Priority. Not a biggie-- they soon joined us. Don't think they had the squash we did boarding. :) Tampa, not good.

Carnival has caught on to this and has closed the loophole.

 

The only other non-Platinum pax that can board with Platinum are minor children.

 

From Carnival's FAQs:

 

Priority Check-In Program

 

Carnival’s Priority Check-In is an exclusive service designed to afford our Platinum and Diamond guests and those traveling in deluxe suite accommodations with special check-in privileges. Cruise documents are stamped, PRIORITY and state, if you have priority check-in (listed on your documents), please proceed to the PRIORITY lounge.

 

 

 

 

Just ask for ‘Priority Check-In’ upon arrival at the cruise terminal. Embarkation staff will ensure that are expedited through the check-in procedure as quickly as is possible, while providing quality service.

 

 

 

Please Note:

 

• We offer Priority Check-In at ALL embarkation ports.

 

• Deluxe Suite Accommodations include the following categories: CS ES GS SS VS OS JS OB

 

• For those guests traveling with additional staterooms that do not fall into either of the categories above, these additional staterooms may check in through the Priority Check-In Program only if there are minor children traveling in them.

It's hit or miss. If there's a long line already I wouldn't count on it.

My mother is Platinum now so I haven't done that in a while.

If you aren't already booked, you could solve this by booking yourself in one cabin and your husband in another cabin. Then everyone gets to board priority!!!
