Creator's Key Takeaways
Carnival Cruise Line has made significant adjustments to its new loyalty program after facing criticism from devoted passengers.
Diamond status members will now keep their status permanently recognizing their years of loyalty.
Children will also be able to enjoy the same status as their parents or guardians.
While these changes aim to appease loyal customers, the program still only applies to US residents.
