FTTF - 4 day Cruise

[racg baker]

Do you think it is worth it to purchase the FTTF on a 4 day cruise?

It depends. If you plan on arriving at the port later in the day, the early boarding part would be useless. If you don't want to be able to get to your cabin right after boarding and have your luggage within a few minutes, it would be useless. If you don't have a tender port, it would be useless. If you have no need to go to Guest Services, that part would be useless. If you don't want to depart the ship first on the last day, that part would be useless.

 

Now if you want to get onboard first, get on the tenders first, go to your cabin right away and have your luggage within minutes, go to a dedicated line at Guest Services, and be the first to get off the ship after the cruise is over, then it's worth it.

 

We had it on the last cruise and just to be able to get onboard right away and get to our cabins was worth the $50 to us.

 

We have it for our next two cruises and look forward to having the benefits that come with it.

I agree with RWolve. It is all dependent on what your needs are. We got it soon after they started the program a couple of years ago. Wife/I feel it is definitely worth the $50 for getting on board early (after platinum and suites) and getting to our cabin to drop off the carry ons (small bag, electronics).

 

It is nice to get to the Guest Services line without having to wait for the folks not having FTTF or Platinum/Diamond.

 

And we like to get off the ship early since we have traveling to do when the ship returns.

 

So for us, it is worth it... one more cruise to book before Platinum :)

To me, it seems even more worth it on a shorter cruise, since you get to squeeze in just a little extra time on the boat by boarding earlier. :)
