All you have to do is cruise. For every day you spend on a Carnival cruise ship, you get one VIFP point. That's it, no complex math or fare charts to consult. The more you cruise the more points you earn. Whether you like two week long extended getaways or quick weekend trips, you will still earn one point for every day spent on the ship. Beginning September 1, 2026: Existing Carnival VIFP Club loyalty program will transition to a new program on September 1, 2026, called Carnival Rewards. Starting in September 2026, every guest’s existing VIFP member number will be called ‘Carnival Guest Number.’ And to fully participate in Carnival Rewards, guests must join by “opting-into” the program by accepting the new program’s terms and conditions, in accordance with applicable law. When Carnival Rewards begins on September 1, 2026, your new status will match your VIFP status as of August 31, 2026, and will last through December 31, 2028. This gives everyone four extra months in the very first cycle to earn status. After that, every earning period will run January 1 – December 31, every two years. Diamond Status: For guests who are Diamond level as of August 31, 2026, guests keep lifetime status. Platinum Status: For guests who are Platinum level as of August 31, 2026, guests will receive a 10,000-star boost every two years. Stars determine your status level. They reset every two years. You earn: 3 stars per $1 spent on cruise fare and anything you buy onboard (+1 extra star per $1 if you use the Carnival Rewards™ Mastercard™), 1 star for every casino point. * Guests Under Age 18: U.S. privacy laws restrict children under 18 from being enrolled in programs like Carnival Rewards, but Carnival confirmed that children will be able to enjoy the same status as their parent or adult that is designated as their responsible party on the booking for that sailing. Their cruise fare and spending will also contribute to the responsible party's Carnival Rewards account. Furthermore, for young cruisers who have achieved Diamond or Platinum status by May 31, 2026, their status will be kept on file and they'll be invited to opt-in to Carnival Rewards with their May 31, 2026 earned status once they turn 18. At that time, they will also be provided the same Diamond permanent status or bi-annual status 'boost' offered to our Platinum guests as outlined above. ** All existing VIFP Milestone awards earned through May 2026 will be fully honored through May 2030. In addition, Carnival Rewards will include an enhanced Carnival Rewards Milestones recognition program that will be based on days sailed (rather than number of cruises taken), and offering more benefits and rewards for each milestone achieved.
