No FTTF... 59 days from sailing..any chance?

How close to sailing have you ever scored FTTF?

We are sailing out of NOLA... on the Dream

Of course there is always a chance! Keep checking. They just opened 30 FTTF for our May 17th Sailing about a week ago!

I would say keep checking several times a day. I have seen on my cruises, and others on here that FTTF has been scored in some cases a week or less out. This is usually when someone cancels the FTTF for whatever reason. Sometimes they open up more slots, which often go in a few hours. On my last cruise some become available late morning, and by early afternoon they were gone, mainly by member of CC along with those in their party.

We were able to get it less than 2 weeks out for our Magic sailing last month....

See previous posts. There is always hope! I would just keep checking every day and if you can more than once, like morning and evening. You might get lucky too. But if not, hope you have a great cruise:)

I'm learning the abbreviations and can usually figure them out, but what is FTTF? Free to the first? Are you talking upgrades and where would you look?

Thanks

This past Dec scored 14 days before sail date. Keep checking. Booked next cruise in Jan. of this year for July and was able to get it the day I booked.

Oooooh. Got it now. Thanks

You absolutely have a chance! I was checking multiple times a day and even had a page monitor but what really helped was joining the popular social media site's ;) group for our sailing date. They tagged me when some spots opened up. And we had less than 2 weeks to go when I finally purchased a ticket! You still have time.

Does anybody know approximately when FTTF is first released for each cruise?

Just 11 excursions have been posted for cruise I booked for February, 2016, thus far. Hate to stalk the CCL website each day, it's a long way out.

I was able to book FTTF for our sailing the end of May last year, but honestly can't remember when it popped up.: Didn't book the cruise until the middle of February, so at least 3 months out in that instance.

I got ours 10 days before our Glory sailing they released 10 or so.

I just purchased my FTTF for our July 11th cruise on the glory.. We still have 70 days for our cruise.

After see what the FTTF is I hope you get it. Ours was $59 so it looks like it went up from $49.

I was checking every day for my Magic cruise on May 10. About 18+ opened up on April 20. So that is 20 days before we sail. Good Luck.

This is what worked for me too… And a whole bunch of other people in our group!

I am so happy that I saw this post! I have been checking several times a day to see if any FTTF are available for my cruise only to see those dreaded words "No Tickets Left". I now have hope that more tickets may become available for our June 23rd sailing on the Legend. :)

Happy Cruising!

Try sending an email to shoreexcursions@carnival.com and ask them to release more spots for your sailing. Then stay on top of your email and keep checking the Carnival website for new spots!

Hope this helps!

Thanks for this tip cruising-diva! I am going to email them right now! :D

Okay - we sail on June 15 on the Triumph.

They have been sold out of FTTF (we didn't book until April 25) and we have checked multiple times each day to see if we could buy the FTTF!

I sent an email late last night to shoreexcursions@carnival.com asking if they could email me if more became available.

This morning there were FTTF's available and we got to purchase!! Woohoo!!

So - you might give it a try - email them and see if it works. :)

I also sent an email but haven't received a reply but that's okay because after checking early this morning with no luck, I checked again about an hour later and there were some tickets available! Yippee, so excited to have scored the Faster To The Fun for our cruise!!! :D

We are 4 days out and some just opened up today after being sold out off and on for months.

We booked our last cruise about 70 days out from sailing. I checked every day, often multiple times a day and never did see a FTTF. I know others on our roll call never scored one either. Oh well.....:)
