So Platinum becomes Diamond

[kicia]

But there are no additional perks for being Milestone other than the OBC for the number specific cruises. Otherwise, everything was the same as Platinum. Milestone was never included in the loyalty program and it still isn't there. As far as perks go, there is only Platinum. It seems from what was leaked that the new level of Diamond will have some additional perks but basically after the few one time benefits you go back to what we have now as Platinum, without the free slot tourney entry. There is something with the Captain that will be available on every cruise.

Very well said!

 

I. Carnival is saying to Milestoners....we don't care how many cruises you have been on....you need to meet the 200 days. Again, what's so hard to understand that they are treating two groups differently!!!

 

Milestone is recognized as a level (until the new program is rolled out) because they did give a different card than Platinum and a perk to go along with it. Carnival and it's staff recognized it as a level different than Platinum. I don't understand why people don't get that either!

 

If what has been leaked and mentioned by JH is true, Carnival is telling everyone that it does not matter how many days you have sailed, on your 25th cruise you will be considered a Milestoner same benefit as before the loyalty program change (25% OBC) no more no less, but then when you reach 200 days you will get additional benefits, such as they may be. Yes it does appear that they are taking benefits away from Platinum, so it is the platinum group that suffer here, if it can be called suffering

Yep, it looks like milestone stays the same and goes by cruises, but to be Diamond you need 200+ days new program new tier. They will not give you 100 days to upgrade you to Diamond, never seen that promised. John said you will stay Platinum if you are Platinum and don't have the days. There giving a chance to do 2 cruises if you have 8 already to become Platinum. If you have 7 cruises there is the cutoff you go to the new program of useing days. If your milestone you will stay milestone till you get to 200+days, big deal really. Diamond is not being grandfathered, nor should it be, it never had a amount of cruises to be diamond, it has a amount of days, 200+. Thats why they keep milestone with amount of cruises. No matter what you are you go back to Platinum perks after 1 cruise milestone or Diamond. You can have 400 days you still go back to the perks that someone with 75 days gets.

I will wait till June 11th and then decide how much of what has been leaked is factual.
