CruisingAgain Posted February 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2017 DH and I are platinum. My son (17) is turning platinum on this cruise. His luggage tags say PRIORITY but I could not pick the 11:00 check in time for him (all were gone). Does anyone know if Ft Lauderdale port (or other ports) will consider him platinum to check in early? I'd like to hear from people who turned platinum with the new assigned check in times.

JAMST3RZ Posted February 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2017 He will be considered platinum for entire voyage, Platinum, Diamond and FTTF guests are not required to adhere to staggered check in times and may arrive at there leisure.

CruisingAgain Posted February 18, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Thank you. I know he is platinum for the whole cruise as soon as he steps on the ship and I know that platinums don't have to pick a time. I'm just concerned that he won't be platinum getting into the terminal. Has anyone turned platinum AND arrived early since the new rules for check in times? I'd hate to wait outside for 2 hours (we always arrive at 10 and 12 was the earliest check in time available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingston13 Posted February 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2017 His boarding pass will show Platinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingAgain Posted February 18, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted February 18, 2017 PHEW!! Thank you Kingston. His boarding pass DOES show platinum. I was worried because the booking email still says gold and my PVP can't get the dining time (any time) for him so he is wait-listed. This time I really need to board early so we can get his dining time changed. NOT that he wants to eat with us :D. He'd prefer pizza for every meal. But we do like to see him a few nights for dinner.

SadieN Posted February 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Platinums do have to pick a time, they do not have to follow the time. About dining assignments-- If he's in your cabin, don't worry. If he's in another cabin, confirm that all the cabins are linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabin does not matter.The boarding pass says Priority. ssays"Priority" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingAgain Posted February 19, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Looks like we're good with boarding since his boarding pass says Platinum. I just wish they would consider him platinum for dining so we could use that benefit to get any time dining for him. Our cabins are linked but that doesn't matter. My PVP said I should be able to get it changed once we get on board (and his officially platinum) but I'm a planner and I like to have it worked out ahead of time.

skrufy Posted February 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Your son has platinum benifits from the day you booked the cruise.If you requested YTD when booking, he should have gotten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted February 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2017 We will turn Platinum on our Dec 2017 cruise, we were waitlisted for early dining, but it quickly got changed to assigned early dining. I am thinking that is because of our Platinum status. Our TA handled this for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingston13 Posted February 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 19, 2017 He will get it. I got waitlisted then checked back every few days and was confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ignore the check in times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
