FTTF are now available!

I just purchased a FTTF for my November 5th cruise out of NY! Can't wait:)

We did the same. I know all of the staterooms will probably be ready since the TA gets in to NYC on the 3rd, but I didn't want to chance it. Plus our bags should still be expedited, as well.

Still nothing for the Transatlantic (well, unless I was too slow!).

I don't see it for my Sept. 23 cruise, hope I did not miss it!

I've been checking multiple times a day for weeks now and I haven't seen anything for the inaugural cruise.

will this show up as an excursion option when available?

From what I've seen, I'm not sure they offer FTTF on Europe just the stateside Vista cruises. Anybody know?

Booked for the November 5 cruise! Not sure if I see a huge benefit other than earliest possible embarkation, but I figure this is the first cruise POST transatlantic and it may be very busy so this might be helpful.

Will try and convince the other cabins to book as well while it is still available.

I booked the FTTF myself..it's great getting onboard early!

Question..I see two of you have 11-7-16 as the Vista sail date. It's November 5, 2016...

Ahhh.... would be good to know. Not sure how early I would WANT to leave Athens. But just the shorter check-in line would be worth it. :)

They haven't released any excursions for Europe yet so there is still the possibility it will be available.

I think I remember seeing something that said the excursions for Europe will be available at the end of July early August. If the are going to offer FTTF I would assume that would be when they are available.

At first I didn't see it, it only showed 1 excursion but when I clicked on the price range of $50-$100 then it came up

It was offered in 2013.

Nothing so far for us! (July 1 from Barcelona) Darn it...LOL

Next cruise: Carnival Vista - July 2016

I got the FTTF last week too. So pleased to be able to get it!

Was able to buy FTTF when I booked the 11/5 trip last week.

FTTF is only available in select cities and as of right now the European ports aren't listed; in fact there are no international ports listed so it doesn't bode well for those of us with the Mediterranean sailings. It might not ever be available, or they might add it later on. I hope so, it's definitely a great value.

To be honest I don't think we will need it in BCN, things appear to be so much more organised than Miami, having departed from both. Miami was horrendous never seen anything like it. I think the everyone arrived at the same time horrendous, so glad I had my FTTF there.

So, when do passengers get the opportunity to purchase FTTF? Have just booked for May 2016 so guessing it won't be available until early next year? Do they email you or how does it work?

Save your $$$.

Save your $$$.

That may be your opinion,but I thought FTTF was definitely good value for money for me and my family when we used it in New York last time. My mum has arthritis and I have a bone disorder in my hips, which means queuing for a long time is painful for both of us, and it also meant having our cabins ready on arrival was blissful, as we could drop off our stuff and have a rest.

That said, I've sailed from Barcelona with another cruiseline before and as another poster said above, it really is more organised than other disembarkation points. If I was sailing from Civitavecchia again, for example, I'd pay through the nose for anything that got me through that mess any quicker.

Also, to answer the question of how you know FTTF is available, unfortunately you just need to keep checking back. I check every day, for price drops and FTTF, sometimes more than once a day. Forum threads like this one and your roll call can be handy too, as other people might give everyone a heads up when it's available for your sailing.

I love FTTF, I believe it is worth the money.

We sailed with friends who had the FTTF in the Caribbean. The only benefit we found for them was skipping the line at the Customer Service counter. I imagine it could be useful for tender ports as well.

We booked November 16th ---> No fttf yet :(

Have fun! FTTF is well worth it!
