ShakyBeef Posted August 25, 2016 #153 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Received our JUNE Carnival Club newsletter via email yesterday (yes, you read that right--it said JUNE) and it shows these visors as the newest Platinum/Diamond gift. :rolleyes: So I'm not the only one. Just a lowly Gold here, but I, too, just received my June VIFP Connection Newsletter (email) last night.:rolleyes::p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the person making this choice at CCL is brain dead or this is designed to get lost of complaints to give them a reason to stop the free gifts.

ScottsSweetie Posted August 25, 2016 #157 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) If you don't receive the newsletter check your contact settings. I've just double checked it. All filled out correctly with my email address. Has been for years. In fact, DH's login has email only (our home email, which I check). My login reflects both snail mail and email. Never received a newsletter. Edited August 25, 2016 by ScottsSweetie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volmoma Posted August 25, 2016 #159 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I never received mine, but my hubby did. He's soooo excited about the visors....NOT! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinchem Posted August 25, 2016 #160 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm kind of looking forward to this, better than another chess board. They really can't give obc because that is not a Carnival logo gift, although they stuck us with a beverage coupon once which had no logo thingy at all..go figure.

ej22ndrow Posted August 25, 2016 #161 Share Posted August 25, 2016 How often do they change what the gift is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted August 25, 2016 #162 Share Posted August 25, 2016 How often do they change what the gift is? Not sure there's a set schedule. In June on the Pride we received the packing cubes - which we exchanged for the VIFP Tervis tumblers. After we returned I saw the "new" Tervis tumblers and assumed we see those in September. Guess not... [emoji21] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorncroft Posted August 25, 2016 #163 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Someone in a group I'm in stated that they just got these on their cruise. They said that they are very light weight and believe it or not, are cool. (I think they were talking about temperature, not appearance.) They really like them.

spiritkat090909 Posted August 25, 2016 #164 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I can only imagine how hot those things are in the Caribbean. I am going to be pretty disappointed if that is my first Platinum gift. What The Freak were they thinking?! ME too! Looks like I have croc-luck. Hope I do better in the casino than with turning Platinum. I looked forward to Diamond on RCI much more...$200 balcony discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked forward to Diamond on RCI much more...$200 balcony discount. Oh well. Guess we'll just have to go with the flow. Really hoping they still have the Tervis tumblers as that is something I will really use. If not, I'm sure some kid will like the visor. That's a nice discount, BTW. I have a feeling I'll be going back to Celebrity in the next year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted August 26, 2016 #166 Share Posted August 26, 2016 How often do they change what the gift is? Used to be every year or two (picture frames went on for years) but now every few months. Seems like tumblers were only for a month or two. We got packing cubes in May, than they switched to tumblers and already switched again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like tumblers were only for a month or two. I got insulated tumblers twice . . . a nice gift actually. Broke one' date=' but use the last one every day. Really keeps an ice drink cool with no precipitation. I had so many picture frames I gave several away. Still run across one every now and then when I'm in packing boxes looking for something.:) The [b']best gift[/b] was an over the shoulder carryon/half-backpack thingy . . . still use it today; carries camera, tablet, phone, and all sorts of miscellaneous gear for a port jaunt, or a hike along the river.

WiCruiseDreamer Posted August 26, 2016 #171 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I do not cruise with Carnival for the gifts and while this would not rank as one of the better gifts Carnival has given, I would still enjoy it for the fun of it. Is not Carnival about having fun, or is it about the gifts one gets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanpatricksmom Posted August 26, 2016 #173 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I was cleaning out a closet yesterday and counted six chess sets, lol! I have no idea how many tumblers we have at this point, but it's a lot. I think the most important thing that they should consider when choosing a "gift" is the weight and space that is used when you pack it up. I'm not really a visor type, but I do like the idea that they're basically weightless. When we drive to Baltimore it's no big deal, but when we fly I could see me leaving some of the gifts behind.

Will trade you 2 journals, 4 picture frames and a visor to be given later for 4 chess sets:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
