Carnival is shaking up its loyalty perks with Carnival Reward, launching in June 2026. Instead of just counting cruise nights, you’ll now earn points and stars based on how much you spend on fares, onboard treats and everyday purchases with the Carnival Rewards Mastercard.
This shift follows broader travel loyalty trends where flexibility and experience-driven rewards are prioritized. With the new rewards system, travelers can start using rewards for spa treatments or future sailings rather than being locked into fixed tiers.
