14 days to Platinum

[hey-buc]

We are at 61 sea days and have a 14 day cruise this coming November. Will we have Platinum perks that cruise? Thanks

[gazingm42]

If you turn Platinum on this cruise, then the entire cruise trip is treated as platinum.

Thank you

It actually used to be easier to obtain Platinum status until the last overhaul of the VIFP system. When I started cruising you only needed 10 cruises to reach Platinum status regardless of the number of days.

I gave up on Carnival for a while when they did that. At the time, I needed two more cruises. Instead, it took me six. Finally reached it this summer.

 

That said, I stepped on the ship last cruise with 74 points, but with Platinum status. That doesn't happen on the other major lines. You have to earn it first.

That's how we did it.  #10 was on the Inspiration 12 years ago.  #35 will be on Freedom in December.

This.  Old system would have taken me 25 cruises to reach Diamond.  It now took me 30 because of sea days instead of cruises.

If you are booked and your reaching your 75th day during the cruise your tag should say platinum. As you say it's not call Carnival and ask why not.

If your 75th day is debark day, you will need to wait until next cruise.  The tags will not update until you complete check in.  What day does your Cruise Manage say check in will be available?

That is when your status will change if eligible.  Wait and print luggage tags then.  Is Nov 11, 14 or 16 days before sailling?

Nice brag, but check in at 16 days and your luggage tags will update.

When the change over to the current sytem took place, Carnival gave everyone a year to complete the 10 cruise threshold for Platinum. I had nine in the books so I just added one additional four day cruise during that year to make it. I thought that was a nice gesture by Carnival to accommodate those cruisers who were on the cusp.
