Faster to The Fun price increase.

[Kankakee Kid]

Carnival raising Faster to the Fun to $120. Remember when it was only $49?  I thought it was a rip-off then. Now? For sure.

As a stockholder I think it's great.  The price keeps going up and it continues to sell out.  They'll continue to increase the price until they find the tipping point.  I'll bet they can get $200 and it will still sell out.

129.95 for my 8 day on the Horizon

😮 wow,  that's crazy.  I just purchased it for 89.00 on our upcoming Breeze 7 day.  The good news is I won't have to pay the new crazy prices. I'll be platinum after this cruise.  

[CheckersMidwest]

Was just going to say the same thing - I paid $120 early for our Horizon cruise. We usually sail in 2 cabins - and buy it for both. The $50 didn't bother me. I'm not sure I'd pay an extra $240 for it. I love the benefits but that surpasses it's worth.

Glad I turn Platinum on my next cruise.

I think i paid $99 each for my two cabins on the Horizon....sail June 29 8 days...My concern is that they keep raising the cost but I also read comments of how people who don't have priority status or FTTF and they embark hours before their assigned check in time of 1:00 pm.....how can they raise the rate but not enforce the rewards that are purchased

You can verify current prices for FTTF on Carnival’s website if you have any cruises booked. I have stated this many times on this site, Carnival needs to continue raising the price of FTTF because it keeps selling out on the majority of cruises. There is obviously a price point where people will stop buying it, but I don’t think Carnival is close to that level yet. 

[Gamecock_Cruiser]

I gladly paid the $49, but I haven't got it since the initial increase.

I've looked at mine and do not see an increase. I also don't see an increase on the Carnival website where they list the prices for FTTF. 🙂

The website shows 119.95 as the highest for 8 day on the horizon but I paid 129.95 for my 8 day for may 2020 so the website isn't updated.

Nvm, I'm crazy!  I found the email, it was 119.95.

We bought it for our first seven cruises, then couldn't get it for the eighth.  Found we didn't miss it at all.  We have sailed our last 4 cruises on RCCL and NCL.  They don't have it, and we didn't miss it.  

So unless there is a specific reason such as needing to do priority self disembarkation to catch an early flight, we won't be buying it anymore.  $49.95 was a bargain, but $89.95 was a deal breaker for us.

I bought it 2 times when it was $49.   I never bought it when it increased and am now Platinum, so don't need it.   However, after we stopped buying it, we just found that if we show up around 1pm, there are no lines and you get right through and onboard as your rooms were ready to go to.   Never looked back.

 

For those who are willing to pay...that's their choice, it is completely voluntary so the price will continue to rise until it stops selling out.

[Athankfulheart]

I've been on a couple of sailings now where the FTTF did not sell out. I noticed the lull in it selling upon the previous price increase. I am sure it still sells out in many cases, but things have definitely changed. 

[HeavyMetalDeacon]

for that kind of $$ it's almost worth booking a suite

[hotsauce126]

Barely worth it to me before and definitely not worth it to me now

[momof3cruisers]

Wow. That's a lot of money. I have gotten it twice before. Early on when it was $50 and we really enjoyed having drinks and lunch on our balcony away from the crowds and another time when we thought one member of our party might need a rest time before 1:00.  No way would I pay even $89.

 

In my experience, with the new check in times, check in and boarding has been quick and easy. We have walked up, gotten through security and the little check in kiosks and straight on board. It's been really fantastic.

[sprint180]

I paid $99.95 for an 8 day.  Totally not worth it for our cruise but did it anyway.    I would not pay the $129 and would not pay the $99 again.  Just for this cruise.

[CruiseAdict218]

The current increase is only on the Horizon.

[bury me at sea]

I first paid 49.00 and said at the time it was worth twice that to me.

 

I paid 90.00 for our 2020 cruise.  At over 100.00 I won't buy it for our 2021 cruise.  Carnival has finally reached my tipping point.

 

We drive to port and will simply leave home later embarkation morning.
