Carnival Rewards launch got pushed back again - anyone changing plans?

I’m not changing plans over a delay alone. Seen this movie before. Back in the 90s, lines would roll out a “simple” casino club and six months later half the hosts were explaining it three different ways at the same bar stool. What I’m watching is whether casino play ends up being transparent or converted into some mystery formula after the fact. “Earn side” sounds nice until you need a decoder ring. If they publish clear earning tables, fine. If it turns into spend here, play there, exclusions everywhere, then folks will be guessing. I’d be more interested in how they handle offers once it goes live than the launch date itself.

I’m mostly in wait-and-see mode, but the part I care about is whether the new setup ends up feeling consistent across departments. On some lines, casino, loyalty, and general guest services all answer the same question differently for the first few months, and that’s where the frustration starts. The delay itself doesn’t scare me much. A messy launch would bother me more than a late one. I’m also curious whether they’ll separate status benefits from casino marketing offers cleanly enough that people know what bucket they’re looking at. Has anyone seen language yet on expiration, tier-year timing, or whether existing casino-only players get any kind of transition treatment?

I’m not changing any bookings yet. A delay doesn’t bother me near as much as a half-cooked launch where the kiosk says one thing, the Players Club desk says another, and Denise is already headed to Guy’s for a burger while I’m still asking questions. What I’m watching is the transition piece for folks already sailing on casino offers. If they flip the switch Sept 1, I’d like to know whether summer sailings count toward anything later or if it’s a clean new scoreboard. Has anybody seen wording on whether points or status are based on sail date vs posting date?
