Elaine5715 Posted August 17, 2016 #26 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Then maybe they should be happy with all of their perks and not abuse it because those of us who never abused the system got our perks downgraded thanks to entitled people like the OP and all those who are telling them it is A-OK to do whatever they want. Yep, kinda hard to take complaints of cutbacks seriously when folks think it's okay to double up on perks provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookbug53 Posted August 18, 2016 #27 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Exactly. But we all know that platinums think they are above and better than everyone else. What a childish and ridiculous statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising maniac Posted August 18, 2016 #28 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Last time on the Breeze in November, they glanced at our invitations. I can't remember if they collected them or not, but they expected you to be invited. And I don't think that your spouse would be invited if they are not platinum or diamond. Make the decision that is best for you and your family. My husband had way too much to drink and could not help me pack. :eek: But we had fun.

trvlgirlmq Posted August 18, 2016 #29 Share Posted August 18, 2016 What a childish and ridiculous statement. Just calling it like I see it. This thread is case in point. Everyone telling OP to do whatever they want with no regard to the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to re-read the OP's original question. Not sure where you got 'entitled' from but definitely not from someone asking a question. Perhaps there is just a hint of envy?

Bookbug53 Posted August 18, 2016 #31 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If I'm platinum but my wife isn't can she go with me to the past guest platinum/diamond party? She did before but I wasn't sure if it was ok or not. The answer seems to be somewhere in between. What Carnival has to say is this: Can a guest bring another guest to membership functions on board? Generally, benefits requiring an invitation are designated per member. Certain events invite eligible guests to bring one additional person as space permits. Details are provided on invitations for each of the functions. I would wait until you receive your invitation and then inquire at Guest Services to see if they would give your wife an invitation.

DebJ14 Posted August 18, 2016 #32 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Exactly. But we all know that platinums think they are above and better than everyone else. Nah, it is those of us who are Diamond who think we are better than anyone else! NOT!!! But there is a whole lot of status envy as evidenced by the snarky remarks we have heard in the GS line, during priority tendering when being escorted by someone from GS and when people ignoree the private party sign and crashed the Diamond event and were asked by a senior officer to leave. We have even gotten nasty comments for being in a suite from those in the inside cabin across the hall. People just can't stand someone having more than they do. Well, if you want "status" buy FTTF or cruise alot. If you want a suite then pay for it as we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geckoaz Posted August 18, 2016 #33 Share Posted August 18, 2016 You are on vacation together. Take the spouse. Remember if in the caribbean, stolen rum tastes better. Be a pirate. Laugh and have a good memory. It is why we cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jana60 Posted August 19, 2016 #36 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I could be wrong but I think the answer is no she can't If memory serves, everyone needed a invitation. But I could be wrong While the invitation does only list the name of the Platinum passenger I have brought with me the family member staying in my room and not only did they let him or her in the cruise director even stopped to chat with us and asked them how they were enjoying their Cruise. It's another one of those rules that Carnival does not enforce however I'm glad they don't enforce this one because I would not go to the party and leave my sister or boyfriend sitting in our room by themselves.

Jana60 Posted August 19, 2016 #37 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Invitations are by name. There is no guest option. Every Platinum and Diamond that abuses this perk will only have themselves to blame when it disappears. No way I would go to a party without a date and leave my family member sitting in our room alone. So as far as I'm concerned if they were going to exclude my guest they might as well eliminate the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
