Platinum question

[JOHN 57]

I need 3 more sea days to turn platinum.  I have heard, I will turn platinum, when I board ship.  I register online on 8 August, will I be notied as platinum then or have to wait to board ship.  Thank you

When you print out your Boarding Pass and Luggage Tags you should see Platinum. Be aware, you can sign-in on-line earlier as well.

If you are turning platinum during your next cruise you will see it reflected on your boarding pass once you check in.  Also, your luggage tags will also show your new level.  Once on the ship your S & S cards will be platinum (just in case they make a mistake and give you gold cards just go to guest services (the VIP line)  and exchange them.  I guess that happens every once in a while.

Take note of your earliest check-in date. If you are going to turn Platinum on the cruise, the date will be 16 days before sailing, otherwise it will be 14 days.

But this is the Carnival Cruise line forum. Carnival does change your status if it changes during your cruise.

Sorry, I didn't realize I got into a  Carnival discussion. I'm pretty new to cruise critic and I thought everything I was following was Princess. I've only done  couple short carnival cruises so I wouldn't know much about their process.

Yes — they changed it from Platinum to Priority somewhere post-Covid.  You’re good.

This is how it works.  As you step on to the ship the Platium Fairy comes down from the atrium and taps you with the Platium Magic Wand. At that second you will be part of the Platium Club.  Enjoy your free gift and pin from the Pixel Desk, $25 casino money, free 3 bags of Laundry.  If your cruise is 5 days or more you can call and order from Room Service a free Chocolate Delight and an invitation to the Diamond & Platium Return Cruiser Party (you can bring a non-D&P cruisers as your guest).  Congratulations on reaching this level.  On our next cruise we turn Diamond and we are looking forward to seeing the Diamond Fairy!

Don't get your hopes up. The Diamond Fairy is a short fat guy wearing a pink tutu holding a wand that is held together with duct tape! 😄

I will turn Diamond on Day 4 of my upcoming cruise.  My luggage tags are green and already say Diamond, woohoooooo!

I almost included those. I gave them away or left in my cabin after the cruise, but apparently some people actually liked them.

i repurpose the fanny pacs i received. I cut off the straps and just use it as a normal pouch to store various things like usb cables and adapters
