Becoming Platinum on a cruise-does it happen at boarding of the day of?

[marshhawk]

Granted, it's several cruises away, but when you reach platinum during a cruise, are you platinum when you board or during the cruise?

 

Like one day they leave something in your cabin that says congratulations...or does it happen at boarding-like you automatically get to sit in the nice seating area (LOL).

 

For those of you out there that are-how were you recognized as Platinum?

 

and sorry it should say or the day of. oops.

Yes, we officially turned platinum mid-cruise, but had platinum card & priority tags from day 1 of the cruise.

Yes, you are Platinum from the very start of the cruise. In fact, your boarding pass and luggage tags will say "priority". No need to buy FTTF anymore!! :cool:

[buddylover]

YES!! Congratulations and enjoy the status (free laundry is the biggie for us)!!

[marshhawk]

well it is three cruises away, but those booked cruises make me stay motivated. it's been a rough year. something to look forward to. thanks.

[riclop]

Yes it does.

Had to go to guest services both times, for me & the BH.. To ask for it. Was Given Gold on boarding & showed that we go Platnium during cruise & they re-issued us with the Platnium Cards..

[marshhawk]

That was nice of them. While having FTTF with priority guest services, it still always seems an effort for guest services to make things right. I think it's because guest service folks usually come from a country where you are guilty until proven innocent.;)

Laundry it’s so nice, you can pack and deal with less laundry because irs wash on ship

[dolfndreams]

Just recently plantinum and it happened day 3. Platinum from start of the cruise. It was pleasant to have that priority boarding and sit in a bit nicer area.

 

There was nothing special I remember sitting on the desk first day but on a later day on the cruise I did get a platinum gift (varies) left and also a chocolate covered strawberries.

 

Agree that free laundry is probably one of my favorite perks.

We just cruised giving us 68 days. We have an 8 day cruise booked for February, 2019 and it already shows Priority on our luggage tags.

Hubby n I are booked on a B2B and go Platinum on 2nd leg.

I just looked at our Luggage Tags for first leg and it says

PRIORITY.

I didn't even notice but haven't printed them yet.

WooHoo.

Thanks

It's a great feeling to get to the Platinum level, congrats! When I acheived Platinum, I looked at the Diamond level and said I could never get that far. Well, I did a few B2B's and some long Journeys cruises, and surprise, here I am now at Diamond. The white card is cool, and now that I've booked an MSC Seaside cruise, that line will give me a match to their highest loyalty level (black card) as well.

Congrats on being Diamond.

We're hooked on B2B's. So much more relaxing.

Would like to book a Journeys cruise someday.

 

So when you do a B2B as Platinum, do you get 2 gifts?

1 for each cruise?

Thanks in advance.

Going to become plantinum mid cruise on our next cruise in January.

I think it's pretty awesome that Carnival awards your status upgrade before the start of your qualifying cruise.

I recently found out that, to my surprise, Royal Caribbean does NOT. :(

The “Platinum” guests/staff parties on the Fantasy were delightful - outstanding ors d’ouvres, open bar, fun people. And laundry to boot! We love being Platinum !
