When I started cruising you only needed 10 cruises to reach Platinum status regardless of the number of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started cruising you only needed 10 cruises to reach Platinum status regardless of the number of days. I gave up on Carnival for a while when they did that. At the time, I needed two more cruises. Instead, it took me six. Finally reached it this summer. That said, I stepped on the ship last cruise with 74 points, but with Platinum status. That doesn't happen on the other major lines. You have to earn it first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how we did it. #10 was on the Inspiration 12 years ago. #35 will be on Freedom in December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now took me 30 because of sea days instead of cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say it's not call Carnival and ask why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted September 1, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If your 75th day is debark day, you will need to wait until next cruise. The tags will not update until you complete check in. What day does your Cruise Manage say check in will be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the change over to the current sytem took place, Carnival gave everyone a year to complete the 10 cruise threshold for Platinum. I had nine in the books so I just added one additional four day cruise during that year to make it. I thought that was a nice gesture by Carnival to accommodate those cruisers who were on the cusp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
