Creator's Key Takeaways

It's not a loyalty program at all. It's that's We've heard that I've heard that many times. It's not a loyalty program, right?

For me to earn diamond status at 100,000 points, that's almost $34,000 I have to spend every two years.

Gone are the days of forever status with Carnival Cruise Line. And that is probably the biggest shocker of this news today.

This is not a loyalty program. That's not a loyalty program. That's not a program.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If you are close to diamond status, earn it before June 1, 2026 to lock it in for six years.

✓Use the Carnival rewards calculator to see if you can reach status under the new program.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Loyalty program is now based on spending, not number of cruises — Focus on enjoying the cruise, not earning status, as a first-timer.
