platinum and Diamond guests um on Carnival ships have the the ability to um go to their state room basically as soon as they get on board

the staff's not being rude to you they're just trying to do their job

Carnival says they're going to mail them to you so if you're not on a cruise you hit that rank U make sure to keep your eye out for in the mail

Oceana might be worth checking out not may you know maybe you don't want to go ataska okay but they do have other warm water itineraries
