MGO26 Posted February 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi! My DBF and I are booked on the Carnival Valor - Sept 1 to the Southern Caribbean out of San Juan. I do not see the FTTF option in the excursion list. Is it way too early for it to be listed? I thought I read that FTTF IS available on the Valor, so I was surprised to not see it. Also, since this cruise leaves at 10pm.. how early will they actually let you board the ship with FTTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauser Posted February 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2013 We sailed the Valor 1/27. We purchased FTTF in October if that helps. It showed up suddenly as the first excursion listed. Just keep checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyvoges Posted February 13, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes, doesn't seem to be an option. I've been looking also. We're on the 9/15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked the July 7th Cruise and was told by customer service that it won't be offered once the ship is repositioned. I'm going to still keep my eye on the excursion list. However, with boarding by 10:00pm, not sure if it is necessary since people will be boarding throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisemama5 Posted March 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2013 We are going April 28th. My husband asked when we could board since departure is so late and were told we could board starting at about 11 a.m. (I believe, he's not here to verify). Anyway our plan is to check out of our hotel, head over to the boat and drop off our luggage, check in and go explore San Juan till dinner time.

lcgvol Posted March 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Because people board all day long, I don't think it's worth the extra money. We got there around 11, checked in and had to wait until they started boarding around 12:30. There wasn't much of a line and even though they assigned you a zone number, no one looked at it and everyone just got in line at the same time to board the ship.

BenjiRodney Posted March 29, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Out last cruise out of San Juan we arrived at the Pier at 12 noon and walked right on, hardly any lines yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegnJoe Posted March 30, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 30, 2013 No FTTF on the Valor since it repositioned. Along with others have said, there also aren't any tender ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takevtr1 Posted March 30, 2013 #12 Share Posted March 30, 2013 No FTTF on the Valor since it repositioned. Along with others have said, there also aren't any tender ports. I agree. There is NO reason fo FTTF for this itinerary. No tender ports and boarding is all day as the ship does not depart until 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted March 30, 2013 #13 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Last year we boarded, had lunch, dropped the carry on bags off and our luggage was waiting at 130 when the rooms were ready. Then we got off and explored until it was time for dinner. The check in line at 630 pm was long, must have been late flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go out to explore, do you get back on the ship via a seperate line or do you wait with everyone boarding for the first time? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes, Id like to know this as well. Am on the June 30th sailing. We arrive in SJU at 11:30AM and would taxi right over there but perhaps after boarding would like to get off and explore a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted March 31, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You get back on with everyone else. But since you already have you S&S card you walk around those checking in and straight to the security line and gang plank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchoney Posted May 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted May 28, 2013 FTTF is now available on my July 2013 sailing out of San Juan. Popped up the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGO26 Posted May 28, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted May 28, 2013 It is now available on my September sailing as well. I'm questioning if it's going to be worth it though. If we get to the port early and board.. but then get off the ship and explore, and come back at lets say 6pm and there is a long line.. do we still get to cut lines and get back on fast if we purchased FTTF? Or is it only for initial boarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmcgunman Posted May 28, 2013 #21 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I booked it last weekend for my Sept 28th sailing but after reading the post here I think I am going to cancel it. My flight doesn't land till 1:30pm and by the time I get to the boat I think I will be fine getting in to my room! Thanks for all the other post about this!
