Not sure what FTTF is?

[dee1321]

Please forgive me... what is FTTF? My daughter leaves Saturday on the Elation to celebrate college graduation and I am trying to help her find any helpful hints about Carnival Cruises and her ship the Elation.

Tons of threads on this. Basically, if available , you pay $49.95 per cabin to get priority check in , bags delivered to your cabin quicker, etc.

Here ya go:

 

Want to squeeze every minute of fun out of your vacation? You can with our Faster to the Fun package. With this package, you get an express lane to the FUN (and yes, FASTER!). Here’s what it includes:

 

Priority Security, Check-in and Express Boarding

 

Bypass lines and have exclusive security screening lanes. If you arrive after general boarding has begun, you may bypass the general boarding line and board via the Faster to the Fun lane. The quicker you are on the ship, the quicker you get to hold a frosty drink.

 

First Access to Stateroom

 

Your stateroom will be ready for you as soon as you board so you can relax or freshen up for all the fun you are about to have.

 

Express Luggage

 

Your luggage will be expedited to your stateroom so you can unpack and don your cruise attire first!

 

Guest Services

 

Quickly have any of your questions answered or requests addressed as you will have a dedicated phone and line at Guest Services.

 

Dining Reservations

 

Priority Main Dining Room and Specialty Restaurant reservations

 

Tender Priority

 

You will have priority tender from ship to shore (multiple departure times may be possible) so you can explore ashore as quickly as you want to.

 

Debarkation Choices

 

We are always sad to see you go. But when your cruise is over, you may choose an early or late disembarkation time upon arrival to your homeport.

 

Things to Remember

 

. The FTTF price is not per person. One ticket per cabin. The $49.95 price covers all occupants of the cabin so only 1 guest needs to purchase but all occupants receive the benefits.

 

. After purchasing FTTF package, remind guests to re-print their boarding pass and luggage tags so the Faster to Fun stamp reflects on their documents.

 

. FTTF can only be purchased pre-cruise on Carnival.com; no al a carte services can be purchased onboard.

 

. The embarkation process typically begins at approximately 11:00am. FTTF guests may arrive at the terminal at that time or any time thereafter.

Basically, it's Carnival way of getting FTYW (Faster to Your Wallet). Platinum and Diamond people board before the $49.95 people.:cool:

We just booked a F2TF for our June cruise, our 8th. Never tried it before so we figured why not?

$50 bucks per cabin and allows you all to cut lines.

 

NOT worth it IMO:D

They should, but this didn't happen on our Liberty cruise two years ago. The FTF people jumped ahead of the rest of us in the lounge and no one checked them.

Also didn't happen on Liberty this past January. However, one of the couples was with us so I didn't object too much.

In January on the Liberty the Plats & Diamonds were in a special waiting area, the FTTF were out with general boarding. We watched the Plats/Diamonds board, then FTTF was called. :rolleyes:
