Mardi Gras FFTF question

[zorky12]

We have been on one cruise and it was on Vista and I searched for FTTF about 40 times a day for about a month until one 4am morning it appeared. I read Mardi Gras wont have FTTF until 2021. Is that ever subject to change or probably not? Dont want to scan the excursions the next 439 days if it wont happen LOL. Been scanning for a week and then came across it saying it wont be offered. Did the Horizon or Vista say this when new as well and did they stick to it?

It won’t change. That is standard procedure for Carnival when a new ship starts sailing.

The number of FTTF that they sell is capacity controlled based on how many Platinum & Diamonds book the cruise. Typically, a lot of P/D's cruise brand new ships when they first sail, so this is probably why they don't sell FTTF for the first few months a new ship is sailing. They do that for all the new ships, even the ones that were refitted into "new" ships from old ones (like the Triumph becoming Sunrise and the Victory will become the Radiance next year). So you don't have to look for FTTF if your cruise is within that early period when it's not sold. For Mardi Gras, they just say 2021 right now. They'll include a month sometime in the future.

I know the Horizon said it and stuck to it. We checked frequently before our cruise on her and it was never offered. Same goes for Panorama, have not seen it offered.
