Creator's Key Takeaways
Carnival just overhauled its VIFP program and it's no longer a loyalty program, but it's a rewards program and it's basically paytoplay.
They're positioning it as you can spend your way to status faster. But what they're doing is slapping in the face all of their loyal cruisers.
The points reset every two years. So, to maintain that status, you have to keep spending.

Carnival cruisers, especially Gold, Platinum and Diamond, what say you? It took me a bit to process the details of their new “loyalty” program, and the more I learn about it, the worst it gets. And ironically, I don’t even take advantage of many of the Platinjm perks I get, so my upset about this is more about the principle of it, and boneheaded business aspect. #cruise #cruiselife #cruisetravel #nofb #cruiseship #cruisetips
