Faster to the Fun program

[alliemom39]

Anyone know if this is really worth the $50 cost? We just booked our cruise on the Carnival Conquest and selected an Oceanview room on the Riveria deck. We had a Balcony room last time so I don't think we needed to purchase this program. I guess it would help get us off the ship at the ports faster. We really aren't looking to book to many excursions but we will be hitting the beach at each destination so we don't want to be the last off the ship and not get beach chairs. Will this program help?

Thanks!!

Loved the program. Got on early. Able to get to the excursions sooner and debarkation was a breeze. If you get a chance to book it do it---you can always cancel. We are booked on a cruise in June and it's all sold out. I Check it everyday to see if it comes available. WORTH THE MONEY for us.

Thank you so much.....I didn't realize it sells out. I will book it now!

Smart move.

Yet another reason to avoid large ships

I don't worry much about beating the tender lines, but find that it is completely worth the price just for being able to get on board immediately after you arrive at the port, no matter how long the lines are, being able to take our carryons to the room right away, and getting our checked bags early. Makes the first couple of hours on the ship much more relaxing, and saves time the morning of departure because we don't have to get to the port early to beat the lines.

Called my mom so she could book it for her room also....it said there was only 1 left so she got in before me and booked it! Now I can't get the ticket. Oh well.... guess I will just continue to monitor like Phyl-Bob above to see if one becomes available!!

Thanks for all the replies. This is only my second cruise... so much to learn still.

That's funny that she beat you out:) Keep watching. They DO become available randomly. Good luck!

Can you get on with your mom? We are Diamond and our cruise buddies who are platinum, are with us so get on when we do. If we are tendering they can also join us and go with us to the bridge to meet the captain. Check in with your mom.

(we HATE Faster to fun as we earned the right to do it and have paid for enough cruises to have earned it!)

Thank you! If I can't get the faster to the fun we will TRY to just walk in with my parents. We'll see if it works!
