Faster to the fun package?

Thanks for this information as I'm in the same boat this Saturday at Long Beach as others here. We have printed our tags but to be honest the FTTF logo is very small. I imagine it's the bar code on the tags that get them on their way correctly but I suppose we were expecting something more flashy.

 

Most, if not all, ports will put a bigger sticker on them when you drop off your luggage.... They also set it in a different area...

ok, I see…appears it's a moot point anyway as it is sold out.

 

 

Don't give up so fast - they do sometimes release more - this just happened to us. When we booked, sold out... Checked every day and voila, some more were made available and we bought one :-)

In Miami, they will also put the luggage on a separate card marked "FTTF" also.

FTTF also gets you a special phone line for guest services but we found no-one ever answered so we left it.

 

We bought FTTF last year so we could get out luggage unpacked and sorted ready to relax all afternoon and evening.

 

I keep checking this year for the above reason and the tendering but no luck so

far.

My question is this….what happens if you have a reservation with an outside excursion company and the FTTF peeps have precedence on getting off first? We have excursions planned for all 4 ports, 2 of which are tendered, wondering how we will get to our tours on time. Does the ship still acknowledge and accommodate all excursions and times appointed for us regular cruisers? I am not shelling out $150 bucks to skip the lines, no offense to those that do, but seriously do not see the value of it.

 

The FTTF people only get priority tenders, not for the ones you walk off. If you have 2 tender ports I would definitely get FTTF if it becomes available just to help you with those 2 ports. Your would just go to guest services (Platinum/FTTF line) and let them know you need to tender and they will escort you down to the next tender with no waiting in the lines.

 

You also get priority luggage delivery (make sure they know you are FTTF when you give your luggage to them so they can put the special stickers on). Your cabin is ready when you board so you can go straight there and drop off any carry on items you have and then get something for lunch. Some even report that their luggage arrived in their cabin before they made it there.

Thanks for the info. about what to do with the luggage, making sure we tell them we are FTTF, getting special stickers, etc. I appreciate it.
