Creator's Key Takeaways

Really, people's major criticism of VIFP is there are no benefits until you hit platinum, which is 75 nights.

I think people are right to criticize it and Carnival really has an opportunity now to change that if they want to.

The new V IFP program should be renamed slightly. Right now, it's the very important fun person program.

You simply you simply organize all the things that people might have to queue up for in their cruise experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Implement a four-tier priority system for all queuing situations (embarkation, dining, tenders, etc.).
Replace individual goodies with pre-prepared swag bags for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond members.
Simplify the laundry benefit to provide one free overnight bag every 3 days for Platinum members.
