I have FTTF, do I get off the ship any earlier??

[crazycruzer68]

I know that usually the Carnival booked excursions and the VIP go first, where do we fall in at?

With FTTF you can ask your room steward for zone 1 tags for your luggage the night before you debark, but you have to ask otherwise you are grouped in with whatever number they decide to hand out on your deck.

My bad sorry, I was curious about St Thomas and San Juan.

FTTF only offers priority on tendered ports, and that is only for tendering TO the port. Heading back to the ship, you will wait in line with everyone else. If the port is not tendered, there is no FTTF perk.

CountryGirlCruiser, Your info is not correct!

I know this is not what the OP asked about but when debarking the ship folks with FTTF automatically are told where to meet for the priority folks who get off the ship first! If you carry your own bags off you can be the first people off the ship. You don't ask the cabin steward for anything you are automatically given priority tags.

For non-tendered ports, is there an order they follow to let people off the boat? Like do they make announcements? Or can anyone (whether VIP, booked on an excursion, or not) just get off as soon as the gangway is open?

Even if you are platinum or FTTF you may receive number 2 or number 3 luggage tags.

For platinum or FTTF the luggage tag number like all other luggage tag numbers. It is the location of your luggage in the terminal.

Platinum and FTTF will be some of the first to debark the ship no matter what the number of their luggage tag is.

They will make an announcement that the ship is cleared and you may now go ashore. Then it's a free for all. No priority for anyone when it's a docked port.

For non tendered ports you just get in line to get off of the ship whenever you want.

Do self-assist with your baggage and walk right off whenever you want.

Crazycruiser68 you can get off the ship when you are ready in St. Thomas and San Juan.

If you are booked on a Carnival excursion, you will have information with your tickets that will tell you where to meet for disembarkation. Early excursions will have priority as necessary to be on time (Carnival only). Otherwise, after the announcement that it's ok to start getting off the ship, you will just head down to the gangway and wait in line, whether Platinum, FTTF, or other.

Thanks, everyone. That's what I remember, but it's been a while. And sorry, CrazyCruzer68 - didn't mean to hijack your thread. I did have another related question, but I'll start my own for that ;)

We had FTTF last time out and got #2 tags.
