Carnival Cruise Line has announced an update to their new Carnival Rewards loyalty program that affects both Diamond and Platinum guests. The cruise line previously announced a major overhaul to their loyalty program due to so many guests receiving top status. Carnival cruisers who have Diamond status by May 31, 2026 will now receive lifetime Diamond status. Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, gave the following statement about this loyalty program update:“We are so excited about our new Carnival Rewards loyalty program launching next year, and believe it will drive fantastic engagement with, and rewards for, our guests. At the same time, we greatly appreciate the loyalty of our passionate guests and the years of dedication many have exhibited in order to achieve higher tiered loyalty status with Carnival Cruise Line.
