Platinum gift

[Florings]

Since cruising has restarted, we've gotten photo album, luggage tags, and several koozies, which I am going to pass along to my family who is joining us in October for a cruise.

Koozies? Thanks for saving me a trip to the photo gallery. Lol.

No, no, take them to help use up the current supply and hopefully they will move on to something better!

Lol. My vacation time is too precious. I understand it's a gift. I'm not complaining. It's just not worth my time I could be spending elsewhere. Besides, be careful what you wish for. Next "gift" may likely me a sticker!

I have 4 Koozies so far. I think I'll glue them side by side & make a Mousepad or cut them in half & make coasters! LOL 😂

The cheapest gift they have ever given.

I'm sure they bought enough to last years.

Maybe they'll run through the initial supply by 2025. (and then probably reorder or move on to stickers)

Photo albums, luggage tags, headphones, tervis tumblers and foam beer koozies.

Which item probably costs the least, by a country mile?

So the platinum gift is still Koozies?

Koozies on our last 3.  Didn't even pick them up on the Magic.

I haven’t cruised in a while. Where do I have to go to pick up my platinum gift, pin (?), and anything else I’m entitled to?  Will my chocolate goodies still be brought to my cabin? Do I get anything else?  Sailing 5 day on Freedom, October 1st. My birthday!!! TIA! 🛳😊⚓️🛟

 

I can’t even remember how to add cruises to my signature!  I feel so outta the loop 🫤

Platinum gift picked up at Pixels.  Pin was left in my cabin on last 2 cruises.  Chocolate delight now has to be ordered from room service- they will ask when you want it.  Free waters picked up at any bar or dining room.  Laundry still the same - bags in drawer in room.  $25 slot tourney credit at casino cage.  Free brunch drink in dining room, though I have gotten it at a bar last 2 cruises.

My sentiment exactly. I didn’t think the question was “do you care about the Platinum gift?”.  Some people just can’t read, or want to share feelings that no one cares about.  🙄

Thank you for this information. I haven’t cruised on Carnival in a number of years. What constitutes the chocolate delight? Chocolate covered strawberries?  My favourite perk is the laundry perk, most handy. 😊

In addition to the Strawberries, 2-3 chocolate truffle-like candies & 3-4 strawberry colored cookies.

Lol, when I got the koozie, I actually thought it was a small mousepad, until it rolled up! 

[Guest BasicSailor]

I heard (don't hold me to it) that the next gift was a J.H. figured soap on a rope 😎

I have 7 more Carnival cruises booked. I think I will be able to make a door mat from all of them!

Lol, I have two more this year and one so far booked for next December. I may have to start that doormat too.

I carry on Reusable Starbucks Cup style tumblers with straws on every cruise, have for years. The slap bracelet koozies work great on them.

I bring my Tervis Coffee cup, that was the Platinum gift years ago. Buffet coffee works for me.

I think the buffet coffee has changed over the years. Before COVID at least i remember it being very strong and acidic, I could not drink it. I would get heartburn to my kneecaps. But lately it's been good. Do you notice the same? Maybe it's just that my taste has changed.

About to take our 4th & 5th cruises since the restart. I drink their coffee with milk and sugar. Tastes fine to me!
