Carnival Cruise Line — which recently unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its loyalty program into an airline-style model with redeemable points — announced enhancements for top-tier members Monday, including lifetime status for any members who reach the Diamond level before the new program launches in June.
The adjustments come just four months after the Carnival Rewards program (which eliminated lifetime status earnings) was announced.
"We've spent the summer talking with our guests, listening to their comments and taking in their feedback," Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy said in a statement. "As a result, I am happy to share that we are making changes to improve the offering to our most loyal customers as we get ready for the program's launch in 2026. We believe these enhancements recognize our appreciation for the loyalty of our top tier guests."
