Velvetwater Posted March 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Just found out that if you book flights with Carnival you cant book FTTF. What kind of business sense is that?We are willing customers. It says the system cant book the 2 at the same time and I want to make sure our flights are ok. We have no choice to book flights with them as it saves us over 700 quid in flights and makes the trip affordable. (repo cruise from UK so obv no cheap return flights) ARGH! Any ideas?

cruisingbandmom Posted March 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Go online after you receive your booking number and try to book it as an excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Arsenal Fan Posted March 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yup. You wait until you are "ticketed" for your flights, apparently then you can. Just hope there are still tickets remaining! :eek: At least that's what my brother was told who is also flying in... I'll confirm and report back, any day now!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted March 3, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks for the info...seems so odd as a system though. Arsenal...I am guessing by your name you are a fellow Brit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it makes sense. Even though you are just one way on the return, image the angry passengers who book FTTF but their flights don't land until 1pm.

Velvetwater Posted March 3, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted March 3, 2014 To me it makes sense. Even though you are just one way on the return, image the angry passengers who book FTTF but their flights don't land until 1pm. It makes more business sense to make it non refundable for flight people or have a disclaimer when booking and buying it. Theres also the fact that early boarding is a small part of the FTTF package and their are many other benefits. Above poster I meant I am from the UK and on a repo cruise.

Elegant Tragedy Posted March 4, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I added FTTF to my shore excursion favorites and checked every day. A couple of weeks after we booked, Carnival opened up some more FTTF spots and I was able to snag one. They release FTTF in small quantities so don't give up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog1958 Posted March 4, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Its sold out now....I want to punch a wall. Hey, you saved 50.00... now you can spend it somewhere else and at least carnival will not get your 50.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
