Carnival switched off VIFP on September 1 and replaced it with Carnival Rewards — four tiers plus a two-currency system that splits spendable Points from status-setting Stars. You now earn 3 Stars per $1 (gratuities included), and the inaugural qualifying window runs all the way through December 2028. |

First-timer guide
Almost everything that trips up new Disney cruisers is a timing problem, not a money one. Download the Navigator app before you board, grab the earliest Port Arrival Time the moment check-in opens, and reserve Palo, excursions, and the spa the instant your window unlocks — repeat cruisers claim the best slots first. |
Tools
