ehogan Posted February 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If I book a 3 or 4 day Carnival cruise - does this count as a sailing towards getting my platinum status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehogan Posted February 26, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks, Mona. I was thinking of booking two 3 or 4 day cruises back to back - I am close to Platinum and I really want the status so that I can get guaranteed early dining. I wonder if I booked back to back if they would consider them two separate sailings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathalane Posted February 26, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2009 back to backs are considered 2 seperate sailings for getting platinum status... If your goal is platinum then back to backs will get you there much quicker ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Doug Posted February 26, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If I book a 3 or 4 day Carnival cruise - does this count as a sailing towards getting my platinum status? There are also 2 day cruise to no where out of some ports. Back to Backs combined with the early saver rates are the way to build cruise counts. Certain embarkation ports are cheaper than other ports with the same ports of call. Mobile will be cheaper than New Orleans or Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacruizer Posted February 26, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yep - my 2 day cruises to nowhere count towards the total. :D Some people have argued that it's not fair to count the shorter cruises but Carnival doesn't see it that way. Besides - who's to say what you spent on each cruise? Those CTNs are often more expensive than a 5 or 7 day are. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTTONS THE CABINBOY Posted February 27, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Is it really worth it. I have 7 carnival cruises under my belt;but there are better cruises out there. I myself will never take a carnival cruise again,unless i get a deal or proposition i cannot refuse. The cons out way the pros sorry unless i get to wear my dress shorts ,socks and sandals to the captains dinner in the dining room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
