FTTF Arrival Appointment Long Beach

[Mpavelchik]

We have faster to the fun (FTTF) and are leaving out of Long Beach on the Panorama on the 6/24 sailing. Curious if we have to stick to our selected arrival appointment from the check in process, or if we can arrive earlier and utilize the priority/FTTF line? Thanks in advance for everybody’s input!

At Long Beach one IS REQUIRED to adhere to their appointment arrival slot. Once through that queue, Priority will move left while regular turns to the right. These rules and timeslot adherence applies to all guests; even Diamonds. This makes LB somewhat atypical.

There isn't a priority line outside the terminal. I went on June 3rd. The lines are formed by your scheduled arrival time and that is all they look at when get to the front of the line. As jsglow said, once you get inside there is a special area for FTTF and for Priority.

Nope. Long Beach is strict on the appointments. Your check in process factors in FTTF.  If you didn’t check is as soon as you were able two weeks out then you may not have gotten an early appointment like you wanted, but arriving early will just mean you get to sit outside longer. 

 

This is the main reason we don't get fttf for LB anymore. We have the 12:00-12:30 slot. Early enough for lunch, but after the 10:00-11:30 crowds have died down.
