For those not familiar with the details of Carnivals VIFP Club, a special lunch with the Captain is held onboard each sailing for those guests who have achieved Diamond status, the highest loyalty status on Carnival (at 200+ points). The menu for the Diamond Lunch changes each quarter. Here’s the menu for the 4th quarter of 2023 (October-December):
In addition to a fresh new Diamond Lunch menu to try, Carnival’s most loyal cruisers will also stay fresh with a new loyalty gift, a toiletry bag. While many are excited for this change, some are disappointed in the phasing out of the fanny pack as they were looking forward to having enough of them for the four extra fannies they came home with on their 30-day Journey’s cruise (where they consumed an entire Costco bakery department’s worth of buffet cake).
And with that…
Class Dismissed!
