disneyg1rl Posted October 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi y'all! I'm currently 3 points short of gold so will 'technically' earn it a day or two into our Nov cruise. (We're in the Haven, so double points.. bla bla bla :D) Am I correct to assume that I won't get any perks/recognition of the status change until my next trip? That laundry service discount would sure be nice. Has anyone ever received any benefit mid-trip? My bronze-to-silver was SO long ago, I can't remember that far back. Here's to wishful thinking! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sissaaaaaa Posted October 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Nothing this trip. You aren't "gold" until the cruise is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyetlse Posted October 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2016 There should be a stuff-a-bag laundry special one day during your cruise, $19.95. That's not too bad even without the discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyg1rl Posted October 27, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks all! That's pretty much what I thought, but it didn't hurt to ask. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sungold Posted October 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Carnival does credit you with status change during a cruise, for the whole cruise during which you earn the status change. For instance, I achieved Gold status in the middle of a cruise, but when I checked in I was given a gold card and got the other (small) benefits at the beginning.

Here's to wishful thinking! :cool: Out of luck I am afraid; points are not credited till AFTER the cruise has been completed. However on a B2B they can be credited between the two portions is they would move you up the ladder, you would have to ask though. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted October 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2016 That's pretty much what I thought, but it didn't hurt to ask. :-)If you get friendly with the CruiseNext rep on board, you can try asking them. I'm sure they get the same question about 50 times per cruise, though, so you might want to stack the deck in your favor, for example by booking a couple of future cruises with them first… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneyg1rl Posted October 28, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Would be nice. I'm going into my next cruise 1 point short of Platinum. I can relate. I get Gold in the middle of this one and Platinum in the middle of the next one. :eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivimp Posted October 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Would be nice. I'm going into my next cruise 1 point short of Platinum. That's just about worth booking a three-day booze cruise just to bump you up before the big trip. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLYNAGP Posted October 29, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 29, 2016 We've got a similar issue. We are 1 point short of gold, our next cruise at Christmas is B2B so in theory at the commencement of the second cruise we should be gold. Has anyone had previous experience of this? As we booked the cruises more than 9 months out its double points so on return from both of them we will be platenium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyg1rl Posted October 29, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Silver / Gold / Platinum.... I can't wait to go and it will be great. Thanks to everyone from the responses. PS. I'm jealous of those of you who live close enough to pop down for a cruise any time you want (especially to grab those great rates). There's no such thing as a cheap or quick flight from Colorado to MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perkydebrajean Posted October 29, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 29, 2016 You'd also be getting an extra cruise for that extra $1000… I'd rather put that towards a cruise that lasts longer than 3 or 4 days and goes somewhere besides Nassau. My husband doesn't get to take off from work very often so we like to do longer cruises when we do get to go.

LrgPizza Posted October 30, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 30, 2016 But would my Platinum perks be worth the extra $1000 it would cost me to get it? The perks wouldn't be worth it, but the cruise would. That's all my reply meant. If I lived that short of a drive to a port, I would cruise a heck of a lot more than I do now.

But it's a long drive to Copenhagen… :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL does not upgrade until AFTER cruise is completed. Sorry. On my phone the heading just says "Forums", no particular cruise line mentioned. I merely posted what I did for information/comparison purposes. Mobile platforms don't always show the same information that desktops or even other types of devices do.

Rare EllieinNJ Posted November 7, 2016 #25 Share Posted November 7, 2016 We made gold after the first leg of our recent b2b on the Jade. The only difference was they put two pieces of chocolate on our pillows each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
