They tell us that HAL Mariner benefits carry over to all line's owned by Carnival. Do you know if this is true ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Mark Posted August 10, 2010 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2010 They tell us that HAL Mariner benefits carry over to all line's owned by Carnival. Do you know if this is true ?? You would only get past cruise discounts on Carnival cruises. You don't get any other benefits. The same for Carnival Platinum people cruising on HAL. I wish they did reciprocate like RCCL does.

worktocruise08 Posted August 12, 2010 #20 Share Posted August 12, 2010 i wont have to worry about this on our upcoming cruise, but in the tender ports where you basically jump the line, is your spouse or person staying within your room allow to jump with you? just curious as I wouldnt jump the line anyway.. i can wait my turn but i know others like those status perks. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 13, 2010 #21 Share Posted August 13, 2010 On your 10th, when you board the ship. So it's ON your 10th ... not AFTER your 10th? :confused: That would be good news for many! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
