Frequent cruisers know that loyalty pays off — and when you sail with Carnival Cruise Line, you become part of one of the most rewarding programs at sea: the Very Important Fun Person (VIFP) Club. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler with dozens of sailings behind you, understanding your loyalty status, how to check your points, and what benefits come with each tier can help you maximize your cruising experience.
Carnival Cruise Line’s loyalty program is called the VIFP Club, short for Very Important Fun Person. It’s designed to reward repeat cruisers for their continued loyalty with exclusive perks, priority services, and onboard recognition.
Every time you sail with Carnival, you earn points that help you progress through different VIFP tiers — from Blue (first-time guest) to Diamond (elite status). The more you cruise, the more benefits you unlock.
The Carnival Cruise Line points system is simple and easy to follow:
You earn 1 VIFP point for every day you sail with Carnival.
Points accumulate automatically after each completed cruise.
As your total cruise days increase, you advance through the loyalty levels.
For example:
A 7-day cruise = 7 VIFP points
A 4-day cruise = 4 VIFP points
A 14-day cruise = 14 VIFP points
These points never expire and continue to add up with each sailing, helping you move up the tiers for greater rewards.
