fast to fun--worth it?

What I know so far is you get priority boarding after VIFP, priority tendering--private island and Grand Turk, room ready when you board. Anything else, and do people think they got their moneys worth. We are waitlisted for early dining. Will this help to get higher on the list?

IF you are the kind that arrives to a port early....than most of the time, you board right after the VIFP anyway.

 

However, this would be a benefit IF you happen to arrive right after the transfer buses from the airport OR if the ship is late getting in and check in gets backed up.

 

As far as the private island....priority tendering probably is not a huge benefit because most people use it to get to private excursions on time...and HMC does not have private excursions.

 

Grand Turk docks...no tender there.

 

As far as the dining....I believe that you get "priority" dining times but NOT GUARANTEED (there is a difference). Platium used to get GUARANTEED and NOW they just get "priority".

 

Getting to go straight to your cabin an hour earlier than anyone else and getting your luggage early.... only you can say if that is a benefit you are willing to pay for.

 

The VIFP line on the ship is nice when there is a line at Guest Services.

 

Debark is a crap shoot. It is only a real benefit IF they allow you to use the VIP Self Assist....the regular VIP Debark is not all that great a benefit since you end up in the Customs line behind all the folks that did Self Assist....

What is the difference between priority dining and guaranteed? Better chance changing from late dining to early with F2F (not available when we booked)? Front of the line at YTD?

If we are two cabins traveling together (paid separately) and one had F2F, can we check in together in the priority line or do we need to go to separate lines? Not concerned about room ready early.
