Creator's Key Takeaways

The lifetime status benefits just can't be delivered.

Carnival's top brass is now speaking publicly about the cruise line sweeping overhaul of its VIFP program.

Duffy said that the cruise lines explosive growth, 65 million guests since 2012, has made lifetime status unsustainable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Carnival Hub app to pre-order coffee and avoid morning lines.
Note that mobile app ordering is not included in drink packages; you must pay out of pocket.
