Review summary

As A VIFP member I was supposed to receive a Cold VIFP pin on every sailing, an invitation to an Platinum & Diamond VIFP Party, a chocolate delight strawberry plate and a unique collectible pin and Carnival Logo gift. I got none of these. T think there should have been some compensation beyond a refund of port fees tor the elimination of the Cabo San Lucas Port stop.

Lots of instructions and reviews out thereon what to do to get your perks. Just need to be a little flexible. Not everything is the same as before the shutdown.

Just trying to figure out your VIFP level...a gold pin is ONLY at the gold level. The other perks are at the Platinum level. It seems that you might have been gold on boarding and MOVED TO Platinum based on this cruise. Sorry you didn't get your pin.

Funny. I was on the same ship Carnival Panorama on the same day September 11, 2021 and we did stop in Cabo although you need to take a tender to get off the ship. Did you buy the drink package?

You had to go to pixels to pick up your pins and also call room service to get your chocolate delight call carnival and tell them you did t get your pins I’m sure they’ll send them to you I’m a Diamond cruiser and yes sometimes we do t stop in ports because of weather or unforeseen circumstances

Your gifts were at the pixel shop. They gave us a luggage tags and a set of pins. We had to ask at guest service. You should have been told to order your strawberries, I got food poisoning and didn’t eat mine.

The gifts & chocolates are not delivered to your room because of Covid. YOU needed to go to a designated place to pick them up.
