Faster to the Fun. Allows you to get on the ship quicker, into your cabin quicker, get your luggage quicker etc.

 

It is $49.95 per cabin and can be purchased as a shore excursion on the your embarkation port. If it isn't there to purchase they have either sold all they alloted for your cruise or it isn't available on your ship yet.

 

 

 

Actually, it's $49.95 per adult. ;)

Nope, it's per cabin. If you read the description, only one person in the room needs to purchase and everyone in the room gets the perk.

No, only one person pays for it but all guests in the same cabin get the benefit.

Correct I just took 2 of the 15 available for our 2 rooms (7 total people) for the Magic cruise in Jan!

Seems like this is a hot topic and many have had some questions on how it has worked. Looking for feedback from those that have ALREADY USED FFTF and can comment on the following perks as listed on Carnivals website:

 

JUST OFF THE LIBERTY YESTERDAY (10/17)

 

Priority Check-in with Express Boarding

The quicker you board the ship, the quicker you're holding a frosty drink.

 

Did you get on board quickly? Was the staff aware of FTTF?

 

The porters and the staff was aware of FTTF. Our luggage was put in a separate area and we walked right up to the counter once they saw we were FTTF on our boarding pass. We were on board five minutes after they opened up boarding to us.

 

Guaranteed Stateroom

Your stateroom will be ready as soon as you board, so you can relax or freshen up for the fun you're about to have.

 

Was your room ready?

 

Our room was ready.

 

Express Luggage

Your luggage will be expedited to your stateroom so you can unpack and get settled in for a great vacation!

 

Did you get your luggage faster than usual?

 

We had our luggage by 12:15.

 

Guest Services

You'll have a dedicated phone number and line at Guest Services so you can quickly have your questions answered.

 

Any problems with using the VIP line? Does your sail and sign card indicate FTTF?

 

We had a dedicated extension that was answered very quickly and the FTTF line at guest services is the same line as the platinum guests. Never a line. There is a sticker on your sail and sign.

 

Dining Reservations

Priority Main Dining Room and Specialty Restaurant reservations.

 

How did this work in the main dining room?

 

We had late seating but did not use it for this and did not do the steakhouse.

 

 

Tender Priority

You will have the option to choose a priority tender from the ship to shore (multiple departure times may be possible), so you can explore ashore as quickly as you would like.

 

How did this work for you? For those whose ports not have tenders, did you get to disembark early?

 

We did not tender or disembark early, but we didn't try to either, so not sure.

 

Debarkation

We're always sad to see you go. But when your cruise is over, you may choose an early or late disembarkation time upon arrival to your homeport.

 

For early, did you get off quickly? For later, did you get to stay in your room longer?

 

We wanted off the ship early as we had plans for the day and we received #1 tags. We were off the ship, luggage in hand through customs in less than 15 minutes.

 

I'd like to keep this thread focused on specific feed back, please check the other threads for "Which Ships?" "How Much?" And general complaining from gold platinum members about this program!! Let's keep this on track!!!

If it is offered on your ship it will be under excursions. $49.95 for the cabin, not per person.
