The VIP lounge is for Platinum/Diamond guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted November 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's hit or miss whether FTTF gets in the VIP lounge. There are usually cookies and coffee juice etc. Sent from my wonderful iPhone 5 using the fabulous Cruise Critic app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcwingwalker Posted November 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Don't count on refreshments or the VIP lounge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman935 Posted November 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2013 In Port Canaveral in April of this year we was seated different than platinum and we did not have refreshments. There were coke machines available though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted November 23, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The ports differ on whether you are seated with Platinum/Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIZZ_K Posted November 23, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I just turned platinum on my November 9th cruise,but I have done FTTF 3 times prior, twice I was not seated in the V.I.P. Lounge and once I was only because I was in a suite, the two times were in Miami and the other was Port Everglades, on my recent cruise it was only platinum,diamond and suites in the lounge, this was Miami.

elliair Posted November 23, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2013 One would think that since you paid $50 that Carnival could muster up at least some ice water. But not even platinum or diamond guests get refreshments in the VIP lounge. Never saw any FTTF people in the VIP lounge either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lounge, I can't remember about Port Everglades, I will remember to look when I go on my upcoming cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyard Posted November 23, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 23, 2013 When I recently did FTTF in Galveston we were not in the VIP lounge. The FTTF area was simply a roped off section of the regular waiting area that was closest to where you board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mld1950 Posted November 23, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2013 We did FTTF on the Fasication in May, you will not get in the VIP lounge and you will not get any refreshments. Jacksonville's Port is very different for any other port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleChell Posted November 23, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 23, 2013 In Galveston no VIP section but you get to sit in the priority section. They also had water and lemonade for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area right outside this room is the Diamond and Platium sitting area ( just a group of chairs) past this is for FTTF. So you will need to bring water with you! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
