Creator's Key Takeaways

We are platinum. We've got roughly 1230 days and the timing of the announcement where Carnival switched from the VIFP over to the Carnival rewards was horrible for us.

We are not chasing diamond. That announcement came at a time where it would have necessitated us booking 70 days worth of cruises in a year's time.

We decided to go out and we added another mode of travel to the Ed and G travels fleet and it is a 2026 Can-Am Spider RT Limited.

We are headed our only cruise for the remainder of 2026 is going to be our 10day Alaska cruise in July, the 20th through the 30th of July.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider booking balcony cabins for cash back onboard credit.
βœ“Explore other cruise lines if loyalty program changes are unfavorable.
