I just got off the Conquest Sunday. There was not really a priority call for FTTF. However, there is a dining room right next to the disembark area that we received a letter asking us to meet at 7 am for self-assist and 8:15 for checking luggage. When you met there, they physically put you at the front of the line before they called for self-assist passengers from the stairwells.

 

We were through customs and in a cab by 7:15.

I know we have priority with tenders but what about regular "walk off the ship" departures when ashore? Do we wait like everyone else or are we whisked off the ship quicker? :D

 

I was on Splendor 2 weeks ago and had FTTF and we definitely had a "special" line for walking off in port. Where everyone was going down one side of the staircase, we had our own. Nothing getting back on the ship though.

I guess it must be different for every ship, because when we were on the Splendor two weeks ago, there was a separate line on the stairways for FTTF for each of the ports and we didn't have tender in any (San Juan, St Thomas and Grand Turk)

Did the separate line move you through more quickly?

With FTTF you go to the Guest Services Desk and they walk you down for the Tender. Just an FYI FTTF just means you get to sit on the tender longer while the rest of the people get on it. Never had to wait for a walk off port though.

 

Enjoy your cruise

Does anyone know if they are doing separate lines in the Liberty?

 

This past January on Liberty, they did not have a special line for FTTF or Platinum just to get off the ship in a port. Only for tenders.

We had FTTF and they put us in the Rome lounge and let all the self assist off faster. I could have carried my bags and got of the ship way faster.

The OP's question did not relate to debarking the ship at the end of the cruise.

 

He was asking about just getting off of the ship at a non-tender port.

I was on Glory recently with FTTF. We did not have a separate line to leave the ship at ports (there were no tenders). I have read a number of people on different ships who have.

I also never asked. I'm curious to know if it is on all ships or just some.

There was priority disembark in Nassau on the Splendor. They really didn't announce it in Port Canaveral or Freeport although Guest Services told us it was only for Disembark in NY:

 

On the evening before Nassau we asked Guest Services if there was any sort of Priority disembark for Platinum or FTTF because the cruise director asked everyone for cooperation getting off in Nassau because there usually is a rush in that port because everyone wants to get on with their private excursions and plans quickly. He specifically said not to come down to the gangway until he made announcements to do so even though we will be docked for a while--local authorities have to clear the ship.

 

We are Platinum but guest services said priority disembark was only for our departure in NY. Well, we were sitting having breakfast and the cruise director reiterated his warning not to come down to the gangway and then only five minutes later he says "OK, we will begin our disembark with our Diamond, Platinum and FTTF guests who should be ready now on the Starboard lobby staircase." LOL! We missed out on that!!!

I had FTTF on the Magic last year and I went to guest services and was then escorted to the front of the line for the tender in Grand Cayman...I had about a 1 minute wait compared to those in line behind me.
