092306 Posted September 2, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2010 My wife and I are booked on the Miracle next Sept. We are trying to get our mothers to go on it as well. My question is that will be my wife's and I tenth cruise so that would mean we are PLATINIUM. Our mother's are not. Since they will have a separate booking number they would not get priority like we will. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 2, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Priority boarding? If they arrive with you, you may be able to board with them in the priority line...if not, it will only take them a bit longer...not a huge deal! I've actually seen when the priority line is longer than the "regular" boarding lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
092306 Posted September 2, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted September 2, 2010 We seen the vip line being long numerous times. Thanks for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourfamilylovescruising Posted September 2, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2010 not sure if you know this but if you and your wife split up when you book (like you go with one mom and your wife goes with the other) they will get priority broading too, then when you get on the ship go to the purser desk and swich cabins so you and your wife can go together. we have done this many times mostly so who ever goes with us gets the same discount when they book. just a thought.

Marie51 Posted September 3, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I have had priority boarding and other family members in my group were allowed to board with me. However sometimes the regular line is shorter than the priority line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
092306 Posted September 3, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted September 3, 2010 ourfamliylovescruising, We did know that. Mostly b/c of the Future cruise cert w/ Carnival They said essentially the same as you did, as far as everyone getting the credit. So thank you anyway. We were just wondering. We thought about this after we booked. Not that it will be a big deal. Thanks everyone, we appreicate all the answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julienatul Posted September 3, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2010 No we sailed when we were platinum and my parents werent. They accompanied us to the vip section but were turned away to go back to the regular line because VIP only has the paperwork and keys for VIP staterooms. In the end, we both got on board at exactly the same time. Other times we have just set a meeting place and met onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 4, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 4, 2010 You do not need to board immediately once you are checked in. You can wait for the parents to check in, and board together (and get your boarding photo done together). EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
