Meet Carnival’s newest VIP (Very Important Pup)! 🛳️ 🐾 Sarge, Justin Marcum Sr.'s 14-year-old service dog, was awarded Diamond status in Carnival Cruise Line's Very Important Fun Person Club loyalty program in February, marking over 200 nights at sea (though Marcum said he has sailed far more). Marcum cruises eight or nine times a year, most of the time with Carnival, and he spoke with USA TODAY about bringing Sarge along when he sails.
