Platinum question about priority boarding

We have been Platinum for our last three cruises.  Carnival says on their website under the FTTF that Diamond and Platinum guests also get the priority luggage delivery.  We have not experienced this on any of our Platinum cruises.  It seemed like each time our luggage got to the room about the same time as it did before we were Platinum (once not until just before dinner).  It's certainly not the end of the world for us if it takes a while to get out luggage.  Sometimes it's just nice to be able to put our stuff away and not have to worry about it. Has anyone else experienced this?

they make sure that the fttf people get theirs first because the fttf people run and get a refund if they don't get theirs before 1 pm.  theres plenty of threads stating this.

That’s wild! 
 

ive bought FTTF since it was introduced, and my luggage is always to our room later - maybe an hour before (early) dinner. It never even crossed my mind that some people would complain about.

That makes sense.  Thank you.

We have close to 20 cruises as Platinums. Our luggage has been at the cabin as early as 12 PM and as late as 5 PM. A lot of it depends oh how many P&Ds are on the cruise, along with the FTTF that is sold for every cruise with the exceptions of Journey cruises and the first several months on new ships. When a significant number of passengers have some kind of priority status it will delay when luggage gets delivered.

We just returned from Glory yesterday.  Our luggage arrived at our cabin around 4:30, even though we had the priority tag on it.  (On our previous CCL cruise, our luggage arrived shortly after we boarded, around noon.)  Our neighbors in the cabin next to us were also priority, and their luggage arrived shortly after noon for this cruise.  We were getting nervous about ours, but were relieved when it arrived - at least it arrived!  :)  Thanks for the FTTF/# of P&D cruisers info in your post.  I had never considered that factor, but it certainly makes perfect sense.
