If you are a frequent cruiser on Carnival Cruise Lines, you now can gain extra recognition in the form of shipboard credits when you pass the assigned “milestones they have set. The program will reward their faithful cruisers when they complete their 25th, 50th, 75th and 100th cruises aboard one of the Fun Ship fleet. The amount of the credit is directly proportionate to the number of cruises. For example, the 25th cruise awards them a shipboard credit equal to 25% of the cruise fare for the voyage their on. For those Carnival die-hards who make it all the way to 100 cruises, a free cruise of up to 8 days anywhere in the Caribben, Mexican Riviera or Alaska is awarded. All this is in addition to the wealth of bonuses that Platinum cardholders receive from Carnival now.
Ain’t we got fun!

Carnival’s “Concierge Club,” which was created exclusively for “Platinum” cardholders who have sailed with the line 10 or more times, provides a variety of amenities and privileges to recognize longtime guests for their loyalty and support.
“The ‘Concierge Club’ has been met with incredible response since being launched last year and this new shipboard credit benefit is just another way of Carnival recognizing and thanking our loyal and valued guests,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.
Prior to their “milestone” cruise, guests will receive a personalized letter from Cahill informing them of the shipboard credit or free cruise they will earn in conjunction with their next milestone cruise.
Carnival has also established a special toll-free line, 1-877-CCL-VIPS (1-877-225-8477) that is staffed on a 24/7 basis and designated specifically for questions regarding the new shipboard credit/free cruise benefit for “Concierge Club” members.

Additionally, an exclusive concierge desk for Platinum cardholders has been established at the pursers information desk aboard every Carnival ship. A dedicated phone line is available fleetwide, as well.
“Carnival Concierge Club” members also receive a special Welcome Aboard letter from Cahill in their stateroom detailing the exclusive amenities and privileges available during their cruise.
Shipboard credits and free cruises received for milestone cruises are non-transferable and non-refundable. Certain other restrictions apply.
