legion3 Posted January 10, 2015 #26 Share Posted January 10, 2015 That's more than one whole meal at the steakhouse. No thank you. And, we always book Lido balcony so our room is always ready when we board anyway. Not necessarily to stay in the room but we drop off whatever we don't feel like carrying around. No big deal. And we are always onboard by 11:00 because we arrive early. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Your room shouldn't be ready at that time. Odd that yours is? And its a meal at the steakhouse if I eat alone, fortunately I don't and thus $50 is not the amount I spend at the steakhouse. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissach Posted January 10, 2015 #27 Share Posted January 10, 2015 We had FTTF for our recent Pride cruise. I booked it due to the tendering ports. Other than that I figured I would never buy it again. Well, we loved it. Skipping past the check in lines, getting our room and luggage as soon as we boarded, never waiting in the long line at Guest Services(which was always long), etc. We have also purchased it for our Breeze cruise this December. We are so far out that there were 18 available still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingwithAutism Posted January 10, 2015 #28 Share Posted January 10, 2015 We have used FTTF several times and it is very helpful to our family. Our last cruise on the Dream, there was a delay with boarding due to a coast guard inspection. Our cabin was accessible once we finally boarded but it was 1pm by then and all the cabins were ready. But then our luggage was delayed and arrived after most of our hallway. I called guest services to ask and she offered to refund the cost $49.95 because of the inconvenience. I was shocked! I wasn't demanding a refund at all. She then said we would keep the benefits for the rest of the cruise. My point, if you purchase it, and feel like any of the "benefits" are lacking, don't hesitate to let guest services know!

I'll have to keep checking. ;) Feb '11 Carnival Elation Nov '11 Carnival Fascination Sep '12 Royal Monarch of the Seas Nov '12 Royal Freedom of the Seas Sep '13 Carnival Dream Jan '14 Disney Dream Mar '14 Disney Magic Aug '14 Caribbean Princess Oct '14 Carnival Dream May '15 Carnival Sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to keep checking. ;) Yes, keep checking daily. For our Pride cruise I think they did come available about a month before cruise date. In total I think only about 30 were sold for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw68 Posted January 13, 2015 #32 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I was able to book FTTF for our two cabins! They had one available yesterday so I took a chance and booked it. Looked first thing this morning and one more was available. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVINCRUIZIN Posted January 13, 2015 #33 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I was cut out of FTTF 4 times last year, due to my late bookings. I just snagged one for April. Two weeks ago there were 10 available. Right now there are 2. with 2 tender ports, I thought it was a great idea. Hope to be Platinum this year (just have to find one more cruise to get me there), then I won;t have to worry about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
