Carnival Just Killed Loyalty. Show Me The Money
Carnival Rewards officially launches September 1, 2026, replacing the VIFP Club. If you're Platinum, you keep your status through December 31, 2028 — but starting January 1, 2029, your guaranteed status drops to Gold unless you spend enough over the next two years to earn Platinum all over again. Casino players aren't left out: casino points earn Status Qualifying Stars too. So after years of rewarding people for actually cruising, Carnival Rewards has entered the chat and said: Thanks for your loyalty. Now, how much you spending? What do you think about the new program? Let me know in the comments.
