Luggage tags. Priority or not?

There's no Priority.  Arrive at the port at your posted time.  Plats and Diamonds are given a 2 day check-in head start.  That's it.  You have an ASSIGNED time.  This is to help manage Covid protocols during embarkation.  Not sure if luggage is given priority anymore.

Platinum+ perks: No Priority boarding - gather with the herd. No early access to your cabin... unless you take it. Any other perks are available upon request. Branded Gift from Pixels. Pin from Guest Services. Chocolate-covered strawberries or equivalent need to be ordered from room service. No printed Fun Times. Room serviced once per day. Free laundry apparently available but laundry bag must be requested. (Sailed 8/21 on Breeze out of Galveston. Carnival still has the best servers and room stewards on the planet)

We picked up the pins from Pixels with the gift, in July, but they could have changed. Don't know why, though.

 

Pick up bottle of water from any bar. Still had priority debarkation. There were printed What's Happening sheets available at guest services.

I printed out our luggage tags a long time ago. There were no priority listed at that time. Is it listed now?

Can't find where to go to print again if possible.

 Since you printed your documents a while ago, you should reprint them. The new ones should say Priority, ours did on August 30 Magic. You will have to go into your Cruise Manager, select Open Planner, to reprint your documents. 
 

 Also to Wikoffclan, on our cruise the laundry bags were in the drawer as always. The Pixels people said they were out of pins and to write to guest care to get them.  Everything else was as you stated. Got our Chocolate Delite by calling Room Service.

Maybe it depends on the port or the ship, but we were on Carnival Magic 8/26 - 8/30 and had 10:30 - 11:00 am check-in time.  After we were all checked in, there were employees checking boarding passes and directing those without priority boarding passes to sit downstairs to wait for boarding.  Those with priority were directed upstairs - platinum, diamond and suites.  Once upstairs, they called out something about suites (couldn't hear what else they said) but everyone got up at the same time and lined up to board.  Not sure how they handled it after that because we were on the ship by 11:00.

Well that's normal for Port C. That's how it use to be. We're Diamonds and we  were in the new Terminal for the MG on 8/14 The D/P were out mingled with the "other's" while the suites had a room of their own. We didnt have Priority on our luggage tags or boarding pass.

We're only platinum and did not expect to have priority boarding, just the two day head start to select our check-in time.  We didn't expect it to be how it used to be, so it was a pleasant surprise.  Our luggage tags and boarding passes said platinum.
