The Carnival Cruise Line VIFP (Very Important Fun Person) Club is one of the most popular loyalty programs at sea. It rewards repeat cruisers with exclusive perks, priority access, and onboard gifts.
But what exactly do you get at each level? Whether you are a first-time cruiser or striving for the elite Diamond status, here is the ultimate breakdown of all Carnival VIFP tiers and benefits.
1. Blue Tier (First Sailing)
You become a Blue VIFP member the second you book your very first Carnival cruise. While the perks are light at this level, it’s a great introduction to the program.
- Members-Only Offers: Access to special VIFP discounted cruise rates.
- E-Newsletter: Updates on new ships and promotions.
2. Red Tier (2nd Sailing to 24 Points)
Once you step foot on a Carnival ship for your second cruise (or up until you reach 24 sea days), you are a Red tier member.
- Free Bottled Water: You will receive a complimentary 1.5-liter bottle of water delivered to your stateroom.
- All Blue tier benefits.
3. Gold Tier (25 to 74 Points)
Hitting Gold is a major milestone for many cruisers. You start to see tangible, valuable benefits at this level.
