FTTF with Owners suite?

[Not_Done_Living]

So the wife confirmed our upgrade to the Owner suite on the Sensation today -- (we originally had an Extended Balcony GS) -- and we had FTTF add on

 

will we still need this or will we get access to the suite as soon as we board?

You don't need FTTF with a suite.

You don't need FTTF with a suite.

 

The only VIP service that suites get is priority embarkation. They don't get priority service at Guest Services, priority tendering, or VIP debark. If you want any of those, you'll want to keep FTTF. I imagine they'd have the owner's suite ready to go ASAP, but you're technically not guaranteed to have access to your room as soon as you board unless you are Platinum/Diamond or have FTTF.

I am hoping someone has actually booked the OS since FTTF can answer this -- the PVP indicated we wouldn't need FTTF, but the reason we got FTTF was for fast access to the suite --

This post is four years old, but they say you get escorted to the cabin, so it's probably immediately available.

Booking a suite gives you VIP access with the Diamond & Platinum pax. You will also have expedited debark, if you request. One of the perks for booking a suite. FTTF is not needed for those two things. Enjoy your cruise!

For what it's worth on my honeymoon cruise I did have priority debark. I was in zone 0 and had a suite.

 

Everything else applies though.

We kept our FTTF with a suite. Suites do get priority embarkation but NOT immediate access to your room OR instant luggage delivery. We had a small one so it was well worth the $50. Grabbed lunch and went straight to the room and luggage was already there. She napped while I unpacked. Did not have any tender ports but used the special phone number several times.

For clarity - when folks here refer to a suite - Iis it the Owners Suite - PH1/PH2 ? I know with lessor suites fttf is needed

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that the only perks of booking suite (any kind of suite) on carnival is priority boarding and a bigger room. They are not famous for their suite perks.

On Fascination in October, we had an extended grand suite, and our cards had FTTF stickers on them when we got them. We did not purchase the FTTF.

I had a suite on the Valor due to a price drop and not booking ES. (Damn you TA!!!) Anyways our only perks was priority embark/debark.

 

Nothing else with FTTF.

[craftykitty]

My suggestion would be to call Carnival directly and confirm with them. The Owner's Suite does have a slightly different set of rules than the rest.

[OCruisers]

The only thing we got when we booked a Grand Suite was priority embarkation. :rolleyes:

SO i think i got my answer -- We do NOT require FTTF as we will apparently be escorted directly to our cabin -- as basically -- without an escort, we would apparently never FIND the cabin, as it is up on the sports deck above Camp Carnival.

 

So for the record -- this is NOT an Ocean Suite. It is NOT a Grand Suite. it is the Owners suite -- 1000 sq feet, two rooms, overlooking the lido deck -- and you do not need FTTF for immediate cabin access.

You will be escorted by a Carnival employee onto the ship, directly to your suite. You will be on the ship before Diamond, Platinum and suite passengers. This was our experience on the Inspiration, however we are Platinum on Carnival.

To clarify once again. A owners suite is not a regular suite. There only two on a ship. PH1 or PH2. They have different boarding procedures than all other suites or cabins. Also, they are not found on any deck plans

Finally people who know what I am referring to :)

 

it is very odd how they manage these bookings -- everything is different - nothing is normal and its such a rare thing in the wild answers are hard to come by .

 

thanks for the validation!

I think with the Owners suite you will get everything FTTF gets plus more!

 

Dinner with the captain maybe! free canope,s in the cabin complementary lots of things including an invite to past guest party even if you are not a past guest! Ship on a stick Platinum pin Diamond pin one of them Carnival mug thingy,s for loyals.

 

All you have to do is ask your steward and it will be there waiting in your cabin :) Its an Owners suite! Have fun.
