Right now at least until the end of of October, all the current protocols apply and this means timed entry for everyone and no faster to the fun. That's what we figured but keeping our fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrednole Posted July 20, 2021 #27 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I have it for Nov and expect it to be there. With more ships sailing, they are going to want to get as much money coming in as they can. As they use July, August, and September to learn, they will know more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemjam Posted July 20, 2021 #28 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) If I had it, I would not cancel it (I am Diamond so I don't get it). I would hold out and wait for them too, just in case they change their tune and you can take advantage of it for sure! We are cruising with 2 rooms of family members in October for one of our cruises and I still watch to see if becomes available for them just in case.

Right behind you for Sept 19 on the Pride. FTTF still showing in my account. Time will tell all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure worse case is that they give us the OBC for the amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask what ship and when in November? We are booked for November and it is saying sold out, I was thinking it was not being offered but we may have missed the window.

bobbismith Posted July 21, 2021 #32 Share Posted July 21, 2021 We have FTTF for your 11/21 Pride cruise. I hope they don't completely cancel it. There are other benefits after boarding. Happy cruising. Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They often release more slots as they sell more cabins. It may show as Sold Out for a while and then it will show up as available. It was cancelled for the July and Aug. restart so nobody knows for sure when they will bring back FTTF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m stalking it just as I would have pre-COVID to see if any come available. I was hoping that with today’s announcement we might hear about the future of FTTF. I may be wasting my time, but I will be so happy to snag one on the off-chance they bring it back by October! I am doing the same for my October cruise.

I'm passing on it this time but I do usually get it. That's interesting, since it's not available for our Sept. 18th cruise on Magic. I'm kind of torn between getting it or not. I've gotten it once before and didn't really feel like it was worth it - yes, we were able to go right to our cabin which was nice, but our luggage didn't show up until 7 PM, and the early debarkation wasn't really a big deal for us.

Rare BoozinCroozin Posted July 21, 2021 #38 Share Posted July 21, 2021 We got our FTTF by luck. It was sold out in January and we booked in February after a cruise was canceled. It showed up as available, tried adding to the cart, it failed about 5x, then got there. This was back in May. I was told to keep an eye out at the key 30-day windows because that is when people usually cancel: 120 days out, 90 days out, 60 days out, and 30 days out. I do hope that they restart FTTF. With more ships coming online and more people cruising, I think they should bring it back. It is a simple solution. It is the same that they did for Diamond and Platinum booking 16 days out. Just let FTTF book 15 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I feel the same. I don't see any reason for why I would need to go to guest services on this cruise and I don't feel any need to rush to my room. That's funny about your luggage as the same thing happened to me last time I got FTTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey on the same cruise! We are platinum and have been told that there will be no early boarding and that we need to show up only during our scheduled time. I guess that will be during the registration. I think they are very concerned with crowds in the terminal, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cruisers should not be allowed to book suites until they have cruised 4 times, because why let them purchase a privilege that other have earned? Everything in this capitalist-based environment is transaction based. Theme-park skip the line passes! Pay a bit more for extra leg room! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPTexas Posted July 21, 2021 #42 Share Posted July 21, 2021 We were able to catch the FTTF for our September cruise very quickly - within 10 days of booking the cruise. I just happened to be checking excursions and it was there as a suggestion. I was quite surprised it was there and it stayed up for several days. We thought it might be worth the purchase this time, but probably won't for our 2022 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammee Posted July 22, 2021 #45 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Just received the not so fun email - Faster to the Fun. It is cancelled for my Sept 19 cruise on Pride. It says all Sept cruisings, it doesn't state my specific sailing, so anybody with a Sept sailing needs to keep a look out for it. Of course the usual saying my money will be returned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
