Platinum Gift confirmation

[drosphot]

I'd take them to the lost and found :rolleyes:

Two weeks ago on the Legend the gifts were Tumblers with ships pictures on them.

Wish they would let us pick from a list so we get something we can use

 

yes, that would be nice, but......I would bet that they would just discontinue giving the platinum gift before they would do that. Better yet, why not gift OBC so we could spend it on whatever we want. Apply it to tips, get drinks, or use it in the casino or shops, towards excursions, whatever.

You know I agree never be unappreciative about a gift. BUT this really isn't a gift per se it's comes with a price tag you need to be platinum or diamond to get this I see it as a benefit for platinum and diamond guests , same as a benefit for having status with an airline and getting upgrades etc I would like something nicer I agree that is ugly but nothing much we can do I guess

Would guess they only pay a couple of bucks for most of these gifts so doubt they would give us coupons for drinks or anything like that but would prefer it.

 

a few cups of coffee and dessert from specialty coffee shop would be great

I can only imagine how hot those things are in the Caribbean. I am going to be pretty disappointed if that is my first Platinum gift. What The Freak were they thinking?!

They got a very good price?

 

For years was picture frame and many people had them by dozens. After about 6 we would just give them to new friends on the cruise.

Has to be the price. I would rather have a dozen of the old Carnival pens than that. At least the picture frame is a good idea the first time around. I can see where if you cruise a lot, then yeah, half a dozen of them could be a little much. But these hot, rubber visors? In the Caribbean? Come on. I don't think there is one adult that will think it's a good idea. I can always find a kid to give it to I'm sure.

There will probably be plenty in the trash. Thought the Tervis were getting too many but probably couldn't give these away.

[tlw440]

Ugh!

 

When I cruised in May on the Conquest, the Platinum gift was a set of small packing cubes.

 

We got the packing cubes on the Conquest too, we used them on our vacation to Florida and really liked them.

Think outside the box...use them to "reserve" your lounger up on Lido. No loss if they get lost that way.;)

Yep, pure funnin' around. Well, not the part if they get lost...Those visors are just down right awful.

Have to agree, they are awful. I still can't believe it's not a joke, that's how bad :rolleyes:

If this is something I receive, I'll wear it to dinner on elegant night.

[Karnyval]

It's a gift. You say thank you.

 

Once Carnival gifts it, what you do with it is up to you.

If I see you in it on elegant night I will buy you a beer. :D

[TinyG]

So after our B2B we would have 4 :eek: of these....uh NO. Would rather take them to the kids club and give them away! I'll do anything...pens, journals, backpacks, packing cubes, frames, toiletry bags, thermos, beach bags, or lovely Tervis cups!! Who at the Beards meeting says...let's do Croc... Need to be let go. Period. You either do Croc or you don't. :mad:

[misterchatter]

Can you imagine how much they will have to expand the lost and found area? :p

You're assuming any kid would wear one!

They have planned for this. Ones dropped off will be regifted to next set of passengers:eek:

I do not equate a gift from a friend to a gift from a very large business. Nice to get a gift but one that will never get used is pointless

[CruiseHealing]

We have Carnival visors and baseball cap. And we don't wear them. So, it's regift time.

 

Here is an idea; since gold card holders feel like they got robbed by not being invited to the Return Cruiser Party, give your Croc Visor to one of them. Then they can walk around the ship and pretend their a Palatinum Member, at the same time they will realize that their not missing much by not reaching the Platinum level.

 

They could also wear the visor and try to crash the Return Cruiser Party.

.pens, journals, backpacks, packing cubes, frames, toiletry bags, thermos, beach bags, or lovely Tervis cups!! :

 

I like your list. Simple things that are practicable. Nothing over expense, but nice branded merchandise that tells a customer that the company appreciates the loyalty.
