Creator's Key Takeaways

I believe in my heart of hearts and my spades of spades that this program that Carnival is rolling out is essentially a casino program.

It's more of a travel rewards program instead of a loyalty program.

I personally think for people that gamble or enjoy specialty dining or enjoy buying drinks on board the ship or enjoy spending a little bit of extra money, it's more beneficial.

I'm not changing lines.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Read every word of the new program to understand it fully.
If you are below Platinum status, you are negatively impacted.
Consider status matching with MSC if you are looking for alternatives.
Don't let the program changes stop you from cruising if you love it.

Losing loyalty status perks (laundry, drinks, pins).The perks aren't a deal-breaker; focus on the fun of cruising.
