Creator's Key Takeaways

This program is basically telling you do not come on Carnival. If you are not spending extra money with us, don't come.

Loyalty means nothing. Loyalty program means everything. This is a business money program and that's how a business works.

We're going to start trying other lines and we've already started that. So, we'll see. So, the loyalty isn't as important.

I think other cruise lines will follow suit eventually into this type of pro loyalty program. I do I think it will happen.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get the Carnival credit card to earn extra points, but pay it off monthly due to high interest rates.
If you are platinum, you will keep your status until 2028, so you have time to decide your future cruising plans.
Spend within your means on a cruise; don't let a loyalty program dictate your spending.
