We turn Platinum at the end of the month on our NYE cruise and we're definitely looking forward to the laundry benefit in hopes that we can maybe not over pack. Priority embark/debark is a nice perk as well as the shorter line at guest services you mentioned.
I have been chasing platinum for a very long time My first cruise on Carnival was in 1981. I was lucky that I still had the ticket and was able to claim those 7 days for my VIFP. We did not really get back into cruising until 2017. I was all set but then COVID hit and had two cruises canceled. Once I finish my next scheduled cruise on Carnival I will be 5 days short of Platinum.
I was reading your comment and thought Man, this is almost our story. We cruised for our honeymoon in 1987 and found the ticket information so we could claim it. We have a bit more to go than you do. Congratulations!
I turned Platinum on that cruise as well.. I didn't use the laundry, go to the party or go to Guest Services.. Hubby doesn't drink, didn't want to go to the party, so I didn't.. I will on our January cruise..
I'm going on a 7-night cruise this September on the Celebration and this is the cruise where I am finally turning Platinum. This Cruise just so happens to have a tender port so I guess I am super excited about the priority tender perk especially when I have an excursion booked on that port, I hate the super long lines trying to get off the ship.
We did call room service for it. My advice would be to do this early as they were out of the macarons. They did substitute little jellies for it though. Thanks for watching!
I will be Platinum on our December 2023 cruise and I'm most looking forward to the priority embarking and debarking, the guest service line and the laundry
I have one more cruise Then I will reach gold excited to reach the next level then I will work my way up to platinum can’t wait to start cruising again 😂
What day did you get your platinum card? From the actual first day? I will be turning Platinum during a B2B. Day 75 happens on the second to last day of the second leg. It's two 7 day cruises on the Panorama. Not even getting off the ship when it gets back to Long Beach. I'm pretty excited.
We got ours on the first day. If your 75th day is on the 1st leg of the B2B you would have a platinum for the entire time. If your 75th day isn’t until the 2nd leg, you won’t receive it until the second cruise. They do issue you a new card and make you get off the ship and walk right back on for the B2B process
How did you know you could do priority check in when technically you don't have a Platinum card yet. I have 8 days til Platinum and going on an 8 day cruise. Do they inform you of this ahead of the cruise?
Iam 28 days away from Platinum, however if God permits we will be traveling October the 8th, to the bermudas and Feb 4th to princess cay, that will be a total of 13 days, so that will leave us with 15 days left. After that.
I just went on the Vista, I did get a bloody mary on the first "Brunch Day" and i tried on the second and they told me it is actually only on 1 Brunch day, but I didn't know about the 25 in casino play.

Congrats on turning platinum soon!

Did you call room service for your platinum in room chocolate delights? Usually plates of chocolate strawberries, mcarons, and chocolate ganache.

You also get a chocolate delight on 5+ day cruises (you have to call room service for delivery).
That is so funny I thought it was a mouse pad too until I saw someone with the doozie and thought where did they get that. Lol.
We turn platinum on our next cruise. The thing we can’t wait for is the laundry. We will take full advantage.
I turned platinum two weeks ago. I didn't use the laundry service but for sure I will next week when I go on the Mardi Gras.
You should definitely utilize it! We went home with almost no dirty clothes! Enjoy your cruise next week!
We need 15 days to get platinum . We're looking forward to the laundry, the party, checking In early... all those things
Very close to Platinum!

Awesome! You’re almost there! Wishing you a great cruise in October! Thanks for watching and commenting! ☺️
The pre pandemic platinum parties, they used to have hors d'oeuvres.
Oh man! Hopefully they’ll bring that back!
I agree that free laundry is a great Platinum perk
Laundry is the best. I enjoy not going home with dirty clothes!
I just went on the Vista, I did get a bloody mary on the first "Brunch Day" and i tried on the second and they told me it is actually only on 1 Brunch day, but I didn't know about the 25 in casino play.
Close. Looking forward to laundry.
Laundry is the best! Thanks for watching!
I’m platinum and my favorite perk is the party and the laundry.
They’re both great! Thanks for watching!
The free 3 bags of laundry is a game changer
I'm Platinum and get all your gifts. I'm cruising this month on the Legend December 26th
Awesome. We just got off the Legend in September! You’ll have a great time!
Getting close to platinum here!
Yay! How many days away are you?
Long time for me...
But heck ya get your free gift always you can always re gift it🤔☺️
Exactly! Thanks for the advise. I agree we should get the gift every time! Thanks for watching!
I have a 6 night cruise coming up and on the last night of the cruise I will have 75 points....will I have my card at the beginning of the cruise?
Yes. If you turn platinum on the cruise you should be platinum the entire time! Congratulations!
