Posted by | Jun 25, 2025 | |

Big news from Carnival Cruise Line!
The current VIFP Club loyalty program will be retired in June 2026, replaced by the newly announced Carnival Rewards.

Many long-time cruisers are wondering—is this a good change or a misstep?

In this week’s Deb and Matt Chat LIVE, we’re breaking down the details of the new program, comparing it to VIFP, and discussing what it means for loyal cruisers and first-timers alike.

Joining us to share their insights are two amazing cruise YouTubers:

🧳 Adrian The Cruise and Travel Guy

Together, we’ll explore:
✅ Key differences between VIFP and Carnival Rewards
✅ What’s been confirmed so far—and what’s still unclear and what updates have been announced?
✅ Reactions from the cruise community (spoiler: it’s a mixed bag!)
✅ Viewer comments and questions live
✅ Is this a sign of things to come from other cruise lines?
✅ Is it really that bad?

This will be a respectful, open discussion—no drama, just honest takes from passionate cruise fans who care about the future of Carnival cruising.
