One of the most coveted loyalty perks available on Carnival is an invitation to lunch from the Captain, extended to diamond members of the VIFP Club (Carnival’s loyalty club). As a motivator for those of us who are taking a bit longer to accrue the necessary 200 points for this most exclusive of events because we can’t seem to remain faithful to a single cruise line, here is the menu currently being offered to those lucky enough to have achieved diamond status. I appreciate the small (but delicious sounding) number of selections, because I’d be less tempted to order my regular 3-5 desserts. Because, to be honest, as much as I love cruise food, I’d leave that chocolate hazelnut icebox pie without a single displaced crumb if I thought it might increase my chances for a second date with the Captain.
Anyway, I’ll leave you with the current menu (updated quarterly, so check back for future menus) while I go book myself on another Carnival cruise…
And with that…
Class Dismissed.
I ALWAYS buy travel insurance (especially during these uncertain times) to cover my cruises, but I NEVER purchase it through Carnival. It costs more and usually covers less than policies you purchase on your own. I go through sites like travelinsurance.com* to compare plans and prices and get the best deal for the coverage I want. Spend less on insurance and spend more on excursions, special onboard cruise experiences and…future cruises!
Homework (10 points): Share to the comments what you would order. Or share your experience at the Diamond Lunch if you’ve been lucky enough to experience it.
