Carnival Cruise News: New Rewards Program Start Date, Cheers Package 10 Minute Wait, and Water

So, this means they're giving all of us three extra months to earn our uh diamond level, which you would keep for a lifetime, or platinum level, which uh you would keep for a couple of years, I believe, and then they give you 10,000 stars per year on the new program, whatever the hell that means.

I don't care about alcoholic beverages waiting five more minutes. I don't normally down a drink in 5 minutes and then drink another one five minutes later.

But what we're hearing is that that 10-minute wait also applies to non-alcoholic beverages, which is kind of an issue where where in the past you could order an alcoholic drink and a water and get them at the same time.

If you are a uh repeat cruiser, uh if you're red, gold, platinum, or diamond, you should get your free water delivered to your room with a special tag.
