golfntob Posted June 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2012 so looking at the new carnival perks program, it looks like I'm going to lose my invite to a past guest party. We have sailed for 10 days. It says Complimentary beverage at Punchliner Comedy Brunch (on ships where brunch is not available, complimentary beverage at breakfast or lunch in Main Dining Room) I'm pretty sure that there is no Comedy Brunch on the Elation and I'm not sure what kind of complimentary beverage I would order in the MDR at bfst or lunch. A mimosa or bloody mary??? Diappointed b/c I was looking forward to the Past Guest Party and the Fun Farewell Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CENTEX CRUISER Posted June 9, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2012 That's the way I am reading this too. One drink is a lot less than about 12 at the PG party.:mad::eek: John: Why are we doing away with the Past Guest (or Repeaters) Party? Rob: As you know, we only offered this Party on sailings five days in length or longer. But here once again, this was a case where the sheer size of the event had made it neither particularly fun nor memorable. Moreover, it was proving operationally challenging, often requiring multiple parties on the same sailing. Therefore, we decided to create a new party for Gold, Platinum and Diamond guests so that it would be more intimate, more fun and more memorable. In its place, we’re now extending a complimentary beverage to all returning guests on ALL sailings, regardless of length. All returning guests will receive a Welcome Aboard letter in their stateroom upon embarkation with the complimentary drink coupon attached.

kicker Posted June 10, 2012 #17 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm usually a Royal Caribbean cruiser, giving Carnival a try (we do have one ancient Carny cruise so we are "past guests"). We are Platinum level on RCI'S. Next cruise would knock us up to Emerald status. You get one extra perk for Emerald: a snack bag with m&m's, a small bag of chips and a juice drink -one snack bag per cabin. Whoopee! Maybe Carnival could give everyone m&m's!!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can figure is that on certain ships they may have an Emerald and above reception. For reference...on 7 day+ cruise RCI has a past guest party for all C&A members. They then have a separate party for Platinum and above with better food and drinks. So essentially you get two parties with free drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trvlqueen Posted June 10, 2012 #20 Share Posted June 10, 2012 kids can order a "virgin" of any drink Carnival serves - including, by the way, the funship special - the virgin version (say that 5 times fast) was actually better imho than the normal version - and I almost want to slap myself for saying that :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruzinnewbie Posted June 10, 2012 #21 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I don't think John Heald will go for the pay toilets after he made such fun of Ryanair for suggesting it. Though I do wonder if he and his pal Michael O'Leary have been spending a little too much time together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIZZ_K Posted June 10, 2012 #22 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I wonder if I will be able to take my grandaughter to the past guest party,under the new program she will now be red instead of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
