heffa72 Posted January 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2017 It's been a while since I've sailed Carnival. Is it still a no-no to swing by my room to drop off my carry on bags? Or do they allow that now? Don't have any interest in lingering in the room...just drop off bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swscruiser Posted January 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Unless you are platinum or diamond or have purchased FTTF its still a No No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted January 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The only people that are allowed through the closed doors are Diamond, Platinum, and FTTF. Other than that, you will have to wait until the cabins are ready and they open the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean1000 Posted January 1, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 1, 2017 It absolutely does. Firemanbobswife is right. If you turn platinum 3 days into your cruise, you will get all the perks and will be given a platinum card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsled Posted January 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We were able to drop off our carry on bags immediately after entering ship; around noon. Stewards were there & just put them in our closet No FTTF nor a suite Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted January 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We were able to drop off our carry on bags immediately after entering ship; around noon. Stewards were there & just put them in our closet No FTTF nor a suite Sent from my iPad using Forums While I am sure you did and that the steward said it was fine, unless you pay for FTTF or earn the perk you are not supposed to enter the hallways. Usually the fire doors are closed and the sign says not to enter. But sometimes the door is left open or the sign isn't seen. I am sure you just didn't know the policy and the RS is not going to anger you upon first meeting by tell you not to put them in the room. This is one of the reasons that the S&S cards are not being issued at check in but rather will be placed in the mailboxes when appropriate.

Jamericannn Posted January 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Yes firemanbobwife is correct, it is absolutely correct. You will be platinum at the beginning of the cruise. Firemanbobswife is always correct with her post. She is one poster's post I know is factual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersigh Posted January 2, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I dont think it works like that. I does work like that - for our January cruise we were a couple of days short of the next level but given cabin cards with the new level on them:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffa72 Posted January 2, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted January 2, 2017 If you'll hit the 3 days during this next cruise, you will be Platinum at the beginning. Yeah, after this cruise I have 3 days...so still not there yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffa72 Posted January 2, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted January 2, 2017 So what time do we get to check into our rooms? Is it 3pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanchoDeluxe Posted January 2, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I dont think it works like that. Sent from my iPhone using Forums The rule varies by cruise line. :) Nice: Carnival gives you the level you will attain during your cruise when you check in. :mad: Mean: NCL does not acknowledge the new level until your next cruise. :confused: Others? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted January 2, 2017 #19 Share Posted January 2, 2017 So what time do we get to check into our rooms? Is it 3pm? It's usually 1 to 1:30pm. Sometimes they have staff outside the doors so you don't go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etwright Posted January 2, 2017 #21 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It does work that way. If you hit Platinum during the cruise, you are Platinum from the first day. We were 6 days shy on our 12-day Med cruise back in August and we were platinum from the day we embarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
