Diamond Status question

[MEOWSMURPHY]

I am curious as to how the "steakhouse" Diamond perk is handled. I know that both DH and I are platinum and we get one plate of "goodies" each cruise...We do, however, each get the free laundry perk. We will both be turning Diamond on our next cruise. Will they give each of us a Stakehouse perk or will it only be one? Do we have to use that on that particular cruise or can it be saved for a special occasion..ie Anniversary cruise? Any input is helpful...thanks...

Several weeks after turning Diamond, you each will get a letter from Carnival. You can use the letter on a future cruise for a free specialty restaurant dinner. It is good for only one time. I don't believe the free dining benefit has an expiration date. The one category upgrade or 3rd/4th person free benefit must be booked within a year of turning Diamond.

The steakhouse perk is per Diamond guest. When you use yours, it is dinner for 2 . When your DH uses his perk, it is dinner for 2 also. The only perk that you get one of is the sweet delight plate. We could do without it entirely, All other perks are per Diamond perk.

You can also call guest services for your second plate of fruit for platinum. Each platinum member get the fruit plate, you just have to remind them

I do not believe there is a time limit for the category upgrade. We certainly took about two years to use it.

Thank you all...you have been very helpful...glad to know that we will be able to use the steakhouse certificate on our Journey cruise in January 2018..

Can you use it while on the ship or do you have to make arrangements before you board?
