Platinum status

[CV1]

Hi there, new to this forum. I'm very curious on when I will receive my Platinum status, I have a cruise coming up and I turn Platinum 2 day after embarkation. Anyone know? Thanks

Not until completion of that cruise!

You move up to platinum upon disembarkation. You’ll then be platinum in your next cruise.

Ok thanks, that's kinda a bummer since it's a 10 day, it's different from Carnival, they make it official at the beginning of the cruise

Time for a 3-day weekend cruise somewhere.

Are two dinners and a bag of laundry worth the cost of a 3 day cruise.

I turned gold over my last cruise and they sent up appetizers. (and I was on a shore excursion and had no idea how long they had been sitting out so I had to throw them away, LOL) I will hit platinum on the last day of my next cruise.

Appetizers for being gold??? I was on three cruises as gold and never got anything except water. (Not that I wanted anything, not even the water, but still...)

When we turned gold, we had water in our room and strawberries delivered during the trip.

We'll be platinum in September...  Will have to wait until next summer to enjoy the perks...

That's exactly what we did.  We were 1 point from platinum and we had a 14-day cruise coming up, so we found a short one to push us over the edge.

It's another cruise!  Of course it's worth it!  🤪

Exactly. I’ll take another cruise any day. Moving up one status level is just icing on the cake! 😍🎂

I wish, but Im in Nebraska, I have to fly anywhere I want to cruise and the Alaska cruise is 30 days off, so nope, I'll just eat my sour grapes, lol

I'll think of you when I munch on my chocolate covered strawberries on my first Platinum cruise next month. 😄 

For once I had excellent timing, getting to 75 points exactly after my latest cruise. Not that any of the perks really matter to me, but my non-Platinum daughter will appreciate my bag of laundry on the TA we both do in November/December. She's staying in Miami a couple of days after the cruise and is more picky about what she wears than I am. (To be honest, most people probably are...)

We'll also be on our first Platinum cruise next month. But because it's a loop cruise having a couple of rotating embarkments in Barcelona and Rome (Civitawhatever), we will miss out on the Behind the Scenes tour and the Wines Around the World, as those slots will be filled before we board.

 

We'll still get two extra dinners and laundry...(and strawberries...even though they're now reportedly strawberry halves). But I guess it's something...

yes!!!!

IMO, platinum isn't that big of a deal.  Nice, yes.  But not a big deal.

I thought Platinum was a big deal, but not so much benefit to moving up to Sapphire
