    It's just one of those things where you have to weigh the pros & cons, see how many of the benefits you'll take advantage of, and decide if it's worth the cost or not. You won't need priority boarding, since you'll already have it, but you will get immediate room access. And priority tender. Priority luggage is nice if you like to unpack as soon as you can. Just be aware that, even if you have FTTF, your luggage may not come right away. Last year we had everything by about 2pm. I had to go to Guest Services 2 or 3 times and loved being able to use the priority line since the regular line was always long. So you'll be able to benefit from more than just priority tendering, but it's up to you whether or not it's worth paying for.

     

    Thanks for the reminder.  Yes, early access to my cabin and priority luggage will make it worry it if it becomes available.  

  2. I agree, it probably isn’t worth it to me to purchase if it opens up.  The carnival wedding planner told me that everyone attending the wedding must be on the ship by 10:30am.  Some attending the wedding are not cruising and will get off the ship prior to sailing.  I have no knowledge of any of that process.  The benefit I was more concerned with getting is the priority tender in Belize since I was told it’s a lengthy tender.  I have no reason to rush off the ship after the cruise either, my flight is 2pm.  So $90 for an early tender does sound ridiculous once I think about it.  Thanks for all the info.  

  3. My sailing Faster To The Fun is sold out.  We are still 5 months away from sailing.  Does FTTF ever open any slots as the cruise approaches?  Can FTTF be purchased on the ship?  I am getting on the ship early as part of a wedding party.  I assume the FTTF early embarkation benefit isn't needed since I'll be on the ship prior to 10:30am for the wedding.  I was hoping I could enjoy the other benefits by purchasing at check-in or once on the ship.  Any advice?  Thanks.

  4. Looking at my NCL vacation page I see an internet pkg option for "Unlimited Premium Wifi, 15% off, unlimited use" throughout the 4-day cruise for $118. Then reading details and "Need to Know" I see "the price displayed is per day use. Total cruise rate will be calculated based on number of cruise days". That statement leads me to believe the rate is $118/day. $118 is the rate for all 4 days correct?

  5. Just went to AAA and exchange $500.00 US for Canadian. Got $594.00 Canadian in return.

    If you are a member of AAA there are no charges.

    I think it is worth it.

    Got $94.00 more & no 10%charge.

     

     

    The only problem is that currently $500 USD = $656 CAD so AAA had a 8-9% fee built into the exchange rate. $1 USD=1.3126 CAD today. AAA is offering $1USD = 1.2058 CAD today. Amounts to an 8.14% hidden fee wrapped up in the exchange rate.
