FTTF for a junior suite?

[mspink98]

Greetings! My parents are sailing on Carnival for the first time in a JS later this year. Do junior suites get priority embarkation, or just full suites?

 

They're trying to decide of FTTF is worth it for them. My quickie google looks like no early embarkation for JS and also that FTTF gets early stateroom opening. That may make it work it for my dad, who's oxygen dependent and tires very easily.

All suites come with priority embarkation and debarkation.

As mentioned, JS's do get priority check-in and embarkation but not early access to the cabins. If the OP is concerned about a family member needing access to the cabin soon after embarkation, then FTTF might be worth the cost.

Regardless of the suite (JS/Grand/Extended Grand) all get the same priority check-in/out. To get early access and priority luggage delivery to the cabin you need to either purchase FTTF or be Plat/Diamond. From the Carnival website is what FTTF gets you:

 

Priority Security, Check-in and Boarding

A dedicated security and check-in lane has been set aside for all Priority guests on embarkation day. FTTF guests will board after VIFP Diamond, Platinum and guests traveling in deluxe suite accommodations.

Note: Only Diamond, Platinum and guests traveling in deluxe suite accommodations have access to the Captain’s Lounge.

 

First Access to Stateroom

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

Note: This is also a benefit for VIFP Diamond and Platinum guests.

 

Priority Luggage

While we process thousands of bags, FTTF luggage will receive priority delivery.

Note: This is also a benefit for VIFP Diamond and Platinum guests.

 

Guest Services

Quickly have any of your questions answered or requests addressed as you will have a dedicated phone extension and line at Guest Services.

Note: This is also a benefit for VIFP Diamond and Platinum guests.

 

Dining Reservations

Priority Dinner Time Assignment: FTTF guests will be cleared after VIFP Platinum guests. This benefit does not include specific time reservations for 'Your Time Dining'.

Note: VIFP Diamond guests and guests traveling in deluxe suite accommodations are guaranteed their dining in the Main Dining Room.

 

Tender Priority

You will have priority tender service from ship to shore (multiple departure times may be possible) so you can explore ashore as quickly as you want to. When ready to go ashore, if not on a Carnival shore excursion, present yourself at the Guest Services Desk.

Note: This is also a benefit for VIFP Diamond and Platinum guests and guests traveling in deluxe suite accommodations.

 

Debarkation Choices

When it’s time to say good bye, you may choose an early or late disembarkation time upon arrival to your homeport.

Note: This is also a benefit for VIFP Diamond and Platinum guests and guests traveling in deluxe suite accommodations.
