Editorial Summary

The creator discusses the upcoming changes to Carnival's Very Important Fun Person loyalty program. He begins by outlining the current five-tier structure, which includes Blue, Red, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond levels based on days at sea. He notes that the Platinum level has become overcrowded, leading to a perceived decline in the quality of member gifts. To address this, the creator theorizes that Carnival will revamp the program by introducing new names and potentially increasing the number of tiers to at least six. He proposes a hypothetical new structure using ship classes, such as Spirit, Conquest, Dream, Vista, and an Ace level for those with 350 or more days at sea. The creator suggests that these changes might involve increasing the number of days required to reach higher tiers, such as moving the Platinum equivalent to 100 days. He concludes by speculating that Carnival will offer a grandfathering period to help loyal members transition to the new system and suggests that new perks might include specialty dining incentives to reward high-level cruisers.
