When does the Carnival VIFP program get good?

When does the Carnival VIFP program get good and how many days do I have to sail to get there. Jenny and Tony tackle that question in an excerpt from episode 1 of the La Lido Loca podcast.

Cruising is a bargain! The perks are nice. We cruise and stay with Carnival because of the product they offer. The ships are great balance between elegant and casual. There is always activities for everyone. It is very family friendly. It is a great fit for us.

[@karyndewit193]

I TOTALLY agree!

[@jeanzinger9693]

Me three!!!!

[@grenaybordeaux3089]

I made it to platinum in 2 years because I had so many great offers. I must say many of them were the casino offer also.

[@nancysblessednest]

We’re Platinum and love it. I wish there was something in between Platinum and Diamond because that’ a big leap.

[@tonyhippensteel3805]

Nancy Maldonado Seems like I’ve been platinum forever

[@greenmangirl]

I totally agree! Platinum and I want to be DIAMOND!!!!

[@tonypereira4518]

Emerald is between Platinum and Diamond. It requires 55 points.

[@donaldbrooks9794]

I agree. A Gold card is visually impressive, but lacks impressive benefits...

[@grneal26]

@@tonypereira4518 That is Royal Caribbean, not Carnival.

[@kamelhaj6850]

Another good thing with Carnival is, if you reach a new level during a cruise (say, on the 4th day of a 7 day cruise), they count you as being at the higher level for all 7 days!

[@Susankerchner125]

That is a great benefit. Royal Caribbean does not acknowledge a change in level until the following cruise.

[@2noelle]

I was hoping for that, I'm 6 days before platinum and I have am 8 day in June 2023, so that means I'll be platinum when I board or after the 6th day?

[@billpinkley3871]

I made Platinum on my last cruise.

[@karyndewit193]

I’ll make it on my next cruise! I’m excited about it.

[@SigTacOps19]

Platinum is awesome, you get your own boarding parade, or at least that's what I call it. My wife loves the laundry benefit, uses it every cruise to take home clean clothes.

[@lisajohns5480]

We love the free laundry with the platinum level. The gifts are a hit and miss. My favorite gifts was a beach bag and one that had chargers for your electronics

[@crescentmoonchild4031]

Even if there weren’t these awards, it’s still a bargain to cruise. All the perks are nice.

[@donaldbrooks9794]

Sure, but people with multiple cruises should enjoy expedited boarding...

[@cyndibrown4808]

VIFP also has special deals on cruises. I was able to get a 7 day cruise for $100.00 balcony room ($200 for my husband and I). The taxes were more than the room. I love being a VIFP member.

I am waiting to see how Covid ends up taking away the priority boarding, where we can board anytime. We may still have priority but you will still have to show up at the designated time.

[@donaldbrooks9794]

Sure, but be sure to attend the Platinum/Diamond loyalty party on-board. Carnival can throw a party!

We are about 3 or 4 sailings (I think) from Platinum BUT we also like to stay in suites which also get priority embarkation and debarkation and 1 bag of complimentary laundry. 🛳❤️

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I took my mom on her first cruise last January. She only put an extra $6 on her sign and sail card. She said she had everything she needed and wanted already with the cruise. Me? $300 because of the cruise photos... I love the cruise photos.

[@warerwenow4350]

My husband did the same. $0 on his card. I won't even talk about how much was on mine. We do separate cards. He's not happy about me wanting to go to the steakhouse as part of our onboard cruise credit.

We made GOLD on Carnival on our last Carnival cruise in December 2018 and now working toward Platinum. We are also working on getting to Platinum on RCCL too! Takes a bit longer when your only cruising each cruise line once a year.

[@sharoncruisingscene]

Yes, we agree! We’re working on platinum on both also.

[@aliceresue3693]

Platnium here. Love love love. The free gift in room. Free chocolate strawberries, free cocktail party. Free drink at brunch or lunch, best of all laundry. We do stay loyal to Carnival. We cruise 95% of the time on Carnival. We have cruised RC and Norwegian but for sure like Carnival the best. We started Cruising in 2013 when our daughter was a PVP for Carnival we became Platinum in 2019. We have enjoyed the perks for the last 3 cruses. We have 3 cruises booked for 2021, Jan 22; March 5 2022 and then 14 day next year. Thanks for the show Tony. BTW your utube is much more entertaining and informative then the several others i came across. Keep up good work. Hope to see you and Jenn on cruise sometime. I think you would make a great cruise director! My opinion!

My 14 yr old daughter and I are Platinum. The perks are awesome. She will be diamond before most adults. Love you both!!😄

[@shonnie089]

A couple of years ago, we went from Gold to Platinum while on a 14 day cruise and didn't realize it until we went to Guest Services to inquire. We received an invite to a private party and received our new Sign and Sail cards. We also took advantage of the Fluff and Fold which made the cruise that much more enjoyable. If we never get to Diamond, we're still good!

[@bossladywesley228]

I started with a red, one more 3 day and I will be gold 🎉🎉

[@mikeshaw4610]

We’re platinum on our August cruise and looking forward to the laundry.

[@socallynn6735]

If you’re playing in the casino, you’ll get even more perks. What you’re reading is like the minimum benefit! The casino will send you tons of deals! I can’t tell you how many “free” cruise offers I’ve gotten. Often an inside cabin, sometimes oceanview, and occasionally even balcony cabins! On those I’ve only had to pay taxes, port fees, gratuities & travel insurance (recommended). It doesn’t get any better than that! This has made it easy for me to get to Platinum, because those cruise days count towards reaching your levels.

[@Joywill86]

we just made gold on our next sailing in March so cool looking to book more to get to platinum lol hope the pockabook makes it lol.

[@derekwustman2559]

It's no secret I'm loyal to Carnival and I can't wait to be platinum. I think I'm at 40 days so at least over halfway there. One thing to keep in mind as you get into those higher levels is Carnival still offers their "milestone" cruises. 25th, 50th, 75th, 100th (eek) cruise you get a very nice benefit. 25%, 50%, 75% of the cruise ticket price is offered as onboard credit. 100th cruise, for the real fortunate cruise-a-holics get a free 8 day or less sailing for 2 people!

[@flippineddy627]

Wow your setup us much more professional, congrats! I was blessed to have yall for planning my July 2019 Honeymoon!

[@tomwyant9297]

My wife and I are nearing Diamond on Carnival. In fact, we will become Diamond on the cruises we already have booked (if they're not cancelled and we finally get to sail!!!). I can't imagine anyone books cruises just to get to the next level and to get the "perks", but the perks are nice for those who have been loyal to the cruise line. We consider cruising to be the best value for our vacation money because once onboard, our cabin, cabin service, meals, entertainment, activities (like mini golf, shuffleboard, waterslides, basketball, movies, etc.), pools/hot tubs, etc. are all included AND I don't have to drive anywhere, make reservations, secure tickets to shows, choose a restaurant, or figure out directions. That's a BIG WIN for ME!!! So, yes, it's not cheap to get to the next loyalty level, but we're getting a LOT for our money and the perks just reward us for our loyalty. Come on, Tony and Jenny! Get to Diamond and we'll meet you at the Captain's Diamond Party! We'll see you there!

The good thing about Florida and cruising is, we have 5 Ports to cruise from. Jacksonville, Port Canaveral, Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale), Miami, and Tampa. If you don't like one port pick a different one. We find too many different Ships/Companies in Florida to be that loyal to just one.

In my book Princess has the best loyalty program. Once you hit Platinum you get a minimum of 150 free Internet minutes. Once Elite, you get unlimited laundry. I'm fortunate to have Elite, due to travel agent training. We did over $100 of laundry for our last 10 day cruise.

[@travel_the_smokies]

We have 16 cruises all with Carnival. On our way to platinum early they changed the program and we were somewhat upset. It used to be 10 cruises before they changed to the current one. Some of my friends are worried about them changing the program again. I’m sure they will but not sure when. The platinum and diamond party used to be open to Gold members. Drinks were more sparse and it was cocktails only. Now we get beer and/or cocktails.

[@July.4.1776]

Travel Mobile You are correct about everything. I just missed the ten cruises before they changed it. They will change it again as sooner or later everyone will be platinum. I would expect them to move gold and platinum up 25 days each.

[@Jasminemarieharris]

The gap between Gold and Platinum is crazy! I only book 7 days or longer. We’ve been Gold forever. They need to create something in between.

[@July.4.1776]

Jas ! In the old days awhile back if I remember correctly it only took 10 cruises to get to platinum. What was happening was everyone was booking 3 & 4 day cruises to get the same benefits that everyone was getting on the 7 days so if you took 10 3day = 30 days you were platinum same as the people that did say 10 7day cruises = 70 days at sea. It’s possible they will up the amount again at some point maybe go to 100 to qualify.

[@Travelwith_Adrienne]

I have sail 3 times on NCL sometimes they offer double the points per nights. So like on Alaska I got double the points. Now I am silver. They are having promotion on double points again. I always buy a cruiseNext so I have be rope in to their loyalty. Even though I want to cruise other lines and go Carnival cruise. It hard for me to get way from the cruiseNext

Look into Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruise line. You will be shocked how well they treat loyalty.

[@druegillis1744]

So many perks to keep track of. We just cruise on one of the Carnival brand ships (HAL, Princess, Carnival, etc.). and get $250-500 O.B.C for Military and Stockholder. At 72, we don’t need anymore trinkets, priority this or that. We need to cruise when we want to, where we want to at a price we can afford. Most of the time we book shoulder season and repositioning cruises. They give you the most bang for the $. We book through a TA and look for good rates for where and when we want to go. Credit card airline miles are great, but right now, we are going to drive to the port since there are so many flights being canceled.

[@carolyngramm6267]

My two favorite perks are priority boarding and free laundry. When you have the laundry service, you can pack less to begin with, then you can have clothes washed near the end of the cruise so you don't have to do laundry when you get home. Three bags per platinum cruiser per cabin gives us six bags, so you can do a lot more laundry than you think. Most of the gifts are nice, some not so great, but they're gifts, so they're very much appreciated.

[@teresahastings4470]

Check out NCL’s latitude rewards. It works like carnival with points per days of cruising. The benefits are good at gold level (55 points), but they are great at platinum and beyond (80 points). Priority embarkation, disembarkation, and tenders, 2 specialty dinners on 5+ nights cruises, free bag of laundry, free minutes of internet, cocktail parties, chocolate strawberries, discounts on excursions, behind the scenes ship tour and many more. And once you take 1 cruise with them, you can rack up points faster by taking cruises that are on the monthly latitudes offers. You get an extra point per night. We reached platinum level in 6 cruises doing that.

[@lynnewilliams542]

priority tenders is a great perk for me

[@suzannejones1996]

I am gold working on Platinum. Three cancelled cruises 2 were on Carnival. I think they should give us half the days for each of the cruises that we missed. It would really be nice goodwill gesture that wouldn't cost them a whole lot. The onboard credit was okay, but I always want more. LOL

We are Platinum on Princess. Love the separate early boarding, 150 internet minutes, separate area to disembark with coffee and other goodies while you wait. Like others stated, do a comparison. See if dollar for dollar is same or different and if so, how much? When we look at picking a cruise, we are looking at the per day cost of the cabin first. Then if there are any sales that's a great one too. It seems that once you start investing your money into a certain cruise line they try to entice you to stay with the different levels. Honestly, we started with Princess because we thought what they offered fit our needs, as we cruised more with them we looked at the rewards. Thanks for sharing!
