Kankakee Kid Posted June 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Carnival raising Faster to the Fun to $120. Remember when it was only $49? I thought it was a rip-off then. Now? For sure. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fla Senior Posted June 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2019 As a stockholder I think it's great. The price keeps going up and it continues to sell out. They'll continue to increase the price until they find the tipping point. I'll bet they can get $200 and it will still sell out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean1000 Posted June 4, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2019 😮 wow, that's crazy. I just purchased it for 89.00 on our upcoming Breeze 7 day. The good news is I won't have to pay the new crazy prices. I'll be platinum after this cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckersMidwest Posted June 4, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Was just going to say the same thing - I paid $120 early for our Horizon cruise. We usually sail in 2 cabins - and buy it for both. The $50 didn't bother me. I'm not sure I'd pay an extra $240 for it. I love the benefits but that surpasses it's worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyo1011 Posted June 4, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I think i paid $99 each for my two cabins on the Horizon....sail June 29 8 days...My concern is that they keep raising the cost but I also read comments of how people who don't have priority status or FTTF and they embark hours before their assigned check in time of 1:00 pm.....how can they raise the rate but not enforce the rewards that are purchased 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stated this many times on this site, Carnival needs to continue raising the price of FTTF because it keeps selling out on the majority of cruises. There is obviously a price point where people will stop buying it, but I don’t think Carnival is close to that level yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keywest1 Posted June 4, 2019 #15 Share Posted June 4, 2019 We bought it for our first seven cruises, then couldn't get it for the eighth. Found we didn't miss it at all. We have sailed our last 4 cruises on RCCL and NCL. They don't have it, and we didn't miss it. So unless there is a specific reason such as needing to do priority self disembarkation to catch an early flight, we won't be buying it anymore. $49.95 was a bargain, but $89.95 was a deal breaker for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a rip-off then. Now? For sure. I bought it 2 times when it was $49. I never bought it when it increased and am now Platinum, so don't need it. However, after we stopped buying it, we just found that if we show up around 1pm, there are no lines and you get right through and onboard as your rooms were ready to go to. Never looked back. For those who are willing to pay...that's their choice, it is completely voluntary so the price will continue to rise until it stops selling out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athankfulheart Posted June 4, 2019 #17 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I've been on a couple of sailings now where the FTTF did not sell out. I noticed the lull in it selling upon the previous price increase. I am sure it still sells out in many cases, but things have definitely changed.

HeavyMetalDeacon Posted June 4, 2019 #18 Share Posted June 4, 2019 for that kind of $$ it's almost worth booking a suite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof3cruisers Posted June 4, 2019 #20 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Wow. That's a lot of money. I have gotten it twice before. Early on when it was $50 and we really enjoyed having drinks and lunch on our balcony away from the crowds and another time when we thought one member of our party might need a rest time before 1:00. No way would I pay even $89. In my experience, with the new check in times, check in and boarding has been quick and easy. We have walked up, gotten through security and the little check in kiosks and straight on board. It's been really fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sprint180 Posted June 4, 2019 #21 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I paid $99.95 for an 8 day. Totally not worth it for our cruise but did it anyway. I would not pay the $129 and would not pay the $99 again. Just for this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury me at sea Posted June 4, 2019 #23 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I first paid 49.00 and said at the time it was worth twice that to me. I paid 90.00 for our 2020 cruise. At over 100.00 I won't buy it for our 2021 cruise. Carnival has finally reached my tipping point. We drive to port and will simply leave home later embarkation morning.
