Arkrockdock Posted March 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I understand that platinum cruisers no longer get priority boarding. What's more important, do we get priority debarkation? Have they done away with platinum perks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellfree Posted March 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Priority Debarkation - yes. Laundry - yes. Ship Pin and “gift” - pick up at pixels desk. Casino - take Platinum Card to casino cashier and you will get $25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get the earliest time you’ll be one of the first to board. Three weeks ago on glory I was in the first group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check in 48 hours earlier as a Diamond/platinum member, to secure an early check in time. For debarkation, you will get a low luggage tag number. The perks are still there but you must go to specific areas of the ship or call to receive them. Example, call Cherry on Top to get your choc covered strawberries.

cellfree Posted March 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Oh yes, one beverage, maximum $10.00, and most beverages are now over $10 so on the Pride (just off today) both husband and myself were charged the amount over $10.00, which is no big deal but rather crazy.

I was zone A1 on Glory so I was in the first group. The worst I’ve been since the restart was A6 on one of the first Mardi Gras cruises which had me boarding within the first 15 minutes.

They have checked boarding zones at the four ports I've been to since the restart. I've been in every terminal before they started boarding so I've been among the first to board. The only people boarding before me were people with an earlier boarding zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, all the points cellfree listed is exactly the same experience we’ve had. I’d just add .. Free Liter of bottled water at Java Cafe Free sweet treat. I’ll ask Guest Services where to order. If you go to Carnival web site, you view the List of Platinum Perks. 🛳🛳 Bobbi 5 hours ago, cellfree said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we boarded the Panorama on Saturday, the “ Priority” folks AND the Suites Guests we’re called 1st to board. Then A01 followed by A02 ( which was our Group). So, I don’t know who goes after A02 boarded. I picked 10:30 - 11:00am as our check in time. But …NOBODY boarded the Panorama until after11:30am. Our luggage arrived outside our door a bit after 3:15pm. 🛳🛳 Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was checked in at 10:45. They started boarding at 11:37. I was on the ship at 11:48. Its been pretty standard. Between Mardi Gras, Panorama, Vista, and Glory I’ve boarded between 11:25 and 11:50.

At Port Canaveral, I had a 10:30 am arrival appointment with A1 boarding group. No one checked times so those in front of me with 12 noon, 1:30 pm, etc were processed immediately. Took over an hour to check in because of the long line and I could hear Boarding Group after Boarding Group called. When I got inside, there was no one sitting and waiting to be called. Me and everyone in line with me just keep walking to the gangway, no one checked, no one looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were on the ship very quickly, even considering the extra COVID docs we have to show now. We were expecting it to take much longer. We were pleasantly surprised - NOLA terminal staff were wonderful! 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our water delivery from fun shop on our January cruise wasn't until 3 anyway, so that really makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you're just going to lay down in your room fine, but if you're going to be messing around in the stateroom corridors before 1:30 you might as well go up to Lido so they can get done what they need to do without worrying about guests in the halls.

Well that’s strange. We both got it on last four cruises. Are you Platinum? At the Casino Cashier they have always had a list of Platinum guests and they look up your name and then you have to sign for the $25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
