BAJABOOTY

Ok we are back from our cruise on Valor and hear to say....YES the email was legit!! Thank god as that would of been embarrising.

wew arrived about 12:30 in Port Canaveral, FL. I printed the email. Got off of our shuttle, showed the porter my email (did not see any list) he took my luggage and put bright orange luggage tags on them and put on a cart. We walked to the priority/FTTF line. I just breezed on threw till the gate lady called me back:confused: I showed her my email, we walked right through the long long long lines of everyone waiting. Walked towards priority they told us fttf had their own counter. (Priority still has their own lines and a little waiting room like the airports) We walked right to the counter, checked in and right on the boat. Our luggage wasn't in the room until about 1/2 hour later which was fine. From shuttle to out room total about 15 minutes. Also we requested anytime and were waitlisted (I even checked the day we left to see if it had been approved it wasn't) when we got our sail sign card it was approved for anytime. Not sure if this has something to do with it, but hey why not:)

Departing just as easy as we made our way down to the dining room about 7:45 to wait for our zone. they were already calling zone 3 (we were zone 2) so that also very fast,,,porter got our luggage and we were out.

I suggest everyone get it,,,i loved it!!!! Priority still has their perks that they have earned. The only other thing was we could tender first and use priority customer service but never needed it:)

Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it isn't true! I received this email today from the Faster to the Fun department (I had emailed them requesting to be notified if they opened up any additional spots):

 

Good news! We have manually added your Name & Booking # to the Faster to the Fun manifest. The ship’s onboard team have already been advised and shall be expecting you.

Upon your arrival to port with your luggage, you'll first need to be manually looked up by the head stevedore/porter with the FttF manifest he will have in his possession. Once he’s verified you are on the list, he’ll tag your bags with the proper FttF luggage tags and put all your luggage in the correct FttF cage for speedy delivery. From there, you will proceed as normal… just follow the signs to the FttF check in and away you go.

And your $59.95 Faster to the Fun ticket will be charged to your onboard account. If you wish, feel free to bring this this correspondence to use as your verification.

Any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Wishing you a wonderful cruise!

 

Best Regards,

Faster to the Fun Team

Edited to add, our cruise isn't until October 2015.

This is the exact email I received, Thanks!! I look at like this if I get there and I don't have it oh well haven't had it in any of the previous 17 cruises, just thought we would try it. We will just go to the back of the line like normal.:cool:

I did contact Carnival, it was added manually so we will not have anything to print ahead of time. For those of you asking I first emailed shoreexcursions@carnival.com with my request, they emailed me back and told me to fwd my info to FttFinfo@carnival.com. I sent the email at 10 am by 3:05pm *(same day) they sent the response. Hope this helps CHEERS!!!

Hello all, I am going to call Carnival in the morning to confirm. I emailed carnival excursions, they gave me the fttf email. I sent them the request, they wrote back with my email attached. I let everyone know what I find out in thr morning and the emails as well as they are at work;)

Hello all,

We are leaving this Saturday 8/22/15 on the Carnival Valor. We thought we would try fttf this time around.

Being this close of course they show being all sold out:( So I emailed them through and address I found on the board this morning. They just emailed me back saying they have Manually added our name and Booking to the faster to the fun manifest. Nothing new to print out, or update? Just hand this email to the porter and he will put new tags on ect and we just follow the fttf signs (also this will be charged to onboard account. Has anyone else used this procedure? I am someone who likes all my paperwork together prior to boarding, this seems like we are just winging it lol. Thanks in advance

We just returned from our cruise/ Cozumel on monday. Gerry was already booked when we emailed Mike, so he offered us Lazaro. After our trip we wouldnt have it any other way. He was right there ahead of the line, very easy to find with his name tag:)

We arrived @9am their time. We rented the station, he had a cooler in the back for us. We saw so much and drank SO much tequila. :rolleyes: Some stops we had were, shopping (it helps to have him with you, he helps you wheel and deal), we saw some small business, churches, beautiful scenery, Tequila tour (must ask for Gasper), Playa Bonita, Coconuts. We seriously did not want to get back on the boat. He also had a great sense of humor.

You can contact him through Mike cozumeltaxi@hotmail.com
