Does FTTF still let you arrive whenever you'd like instead of a set boarding time?

We bought it for every cruise but 1. Even booking suites it was worth it to us just to drop off bags and avoid waiting in a packed room waiting to board.  Also waiting in guest services the one time we didn't have it took over an hour.

😞 I dont see sweet potato in fries on the new menu. Carnivals we're my absolute favorite.

Did you have to wear mask in New Orleans port during embarkation?

Nope

Good morning all

 

for those who have cruise recently, what is the mask situation

 

my niece cruised in Feb and basically inside they asked you to wear a mask is this still going on?

 

thank you

Kim

We came off the Valor Thur. No masks required on ship or in Costa Maya or Cozumel. 

We have been on Elation twice and enjoyed both times!

yes free like the steam room and the sauna

 

 

Thanks you so much! 

Are the spa showers free to use on the Valor? How about the gym?

I had it count once, but not the 2nd time.

We got the 10 percent cash back after I asked this question. 

We always use the Barclay Carnival card to book our groups shore excursions for the 10 percent cash back. I'm wondering if cheers also counts as a shore excursion with the 10 percent cash back.

I was able to book it for a September cruise out of Galveston.  I'm not sure how embarkation is going to work, but figured it wouldn't hurt to snag it.  

Thanks. I will keep checking

Oh I would think by next june things will be more normal.

 

I think the problem right now is programming. To let fttf get a earlier boarding time IT has to program it.

Makes sense! After 4 cancellations and a large group we decided to go way out for booking. 

Just now, firefly333 said:

Its cancelled for July and august. After that it's not be disclosed. We are waiting. 

Thanks so much for your answer. Our 7 rooms are not booked until next June but 2 of the rooms want it due to not being able to carry carry on etc

Are they still doing FTTF?

Our large group is all requesting refunds this time. I have to call though as the last booked cruise was $500 cheaper for the same trip when rebooked. They rolled that 500 into cruise credit. I don't want to lose that 500. I'm not going to roll my credits to a new cruise yet again so I guess if I lose it I do but get the other 2800 back. I know it's not in anyone's control but we were so disappointed our March 2021 was cancelled. We will go again when it's smooth sailing again. 

Ours will be different because we will get to experience in with with several other couples that have never gotten to cruise before 😄. We have a large group for the next cruise. We are the only ones that have went many times. We have three people that have done it once. And the rest are newbies! I'm very excited to see their eyes when they see those big ships for the first time 😁

yes  every passenger pays gratuities

No the infants do not have them added. I have the biloling from taking he and his parents on two cruises since he has been between a year old and 18 months it is not added.  I tipped out accordingly but here is the info directly from carnivals site.

I sent in a request for two cruises for this September about a month ago and have not received a conformation. If you want to check and see if they received the fax you can call this number 1-800-438-6744 ext.-70450. Can’t figure out how they go about approving the OBC. Some get it approved in a couple of days, some in a week, and others there’s no telling when. I’ll wait about another month, by that time maybe they will be back to somewhat normal operations, then I’ll  call.

 

Thanks!!

I submitted mine about 3 weeks ago for a B2B in November and just got a confirmation for both cruises via email yesterday.  I always ask for an email confirmation and they have always sent me one.  With Carnival, it always is a crap shoot.  

Thanks!

Was he the 3rd or 4th person in the cabin? Your statement could be misleading to some thinking that children are cheaper.

 

As previously stated, there is usually a discount for 3rd and 4th guest. But if there are only two people in the cabin, regardless of age, they pay the same rate.

Well that certainly wasnt my intention. Yes he was. There also are no added gratuities for kids under 2.

I faxed in the statement proving I held at least 100 share for the OBC for our next March cruise. . How long should I expect it to take to be applied before I call or do it again? Its a week tomorrow. 

My grandson (18 months) was half price.

We now have 6 rooms booked for next spring. We would have done Sept but not all of our group could go then.

I bought 100 shares about 2 weeks ago. Would one of you be so kind as telling me what I have to do to have the OBC credit applied to my cruise for next March?
