VIFP question

[angie2003]

If we will hit next level on last day of next cruise will that be our level for entire cruise? Sorry but just confused in this area. 

[Schoifmom]

As long as that it is truly the last day of the cruise (e.g., day 7 of a 7 day cruise) and not debarkation day, then, yes, you will hit the next level for the entire cruise.

When does this show up? Do you have to have final payment made?

No, and it will be on your profile on carnivals site, and also on your boArding pass.

Thanks for asking this and for Schoifmom for answering.  We will crest the hill to the next level on the embarkation day of our next cruise (and will languish on gold for years.)

It should hit at the start of your cruise. On my last cruise, I turned gold. It was a six day and technically I wouldn't have been gold until the fourth day in, but it's not like you're going to go anywhere once you're on the ship so you get that level from the start. The only way I can see that changing is if you have an emergency or get kicked off and have to disembark early. As long as the days of your trip are greater than the number of days you have to get to that next level, you'll be granted that at the start. That's how it has been for me anyway. Like someone previously said though, it would have to be the actual last full day and not debarkation day. You can tell when you log into your account and look at your booking. Go to "My Benefits" or "My Cruises" and it will show the level you will be on for that cruise.

We turned Diamond during a cruise but received the Diamond card when boarding.

It won't necessarily show in both palces.  My profile in "My Benefits", as well as in "My Cruises" still shows me as Gold, with 66 VIFP points.  In "My Cruises", it says "9 more points until Platinum".  But, both of my sets of cruise docs for my upcoming 10-Day BTB list me as Platinum.

True, I forgot about that. Even though you usually get the benefits you're not "official" until you've completed the cruise.
