FTTF? If you get there after 12, do you go to the front

Jill: Are you going on another Carnival cruise?

 

FYI: We're doing the 9 day Sea of Cortez on Princess in Jan. Do you have room for another cruise?:D

 

Yes, I just got a good B2B solo rate and it's on my birthday. Just wondering if I purchase FTTF if I can get there any time and go to the front of the line or if you have to get there at a certain time.

 

I have a B2B on the Crown in Dec, but let me check out the Jan. cruise. I love cruising with you all. Love, love, love your stories!!!!

 

No way. No Mazatlan. (:

OK Jill, Assuming you are traveling out of Long Beach:D----

 

FTTF check in has been moving around. It is either in the little building at the curb in front of the Dome or somewhere else outside the Dome. Depends on how many Priority pax there are (Diamond, Platinum, Suite, FTTF). Could always ask the 'sentries' at the door of the building.

 

After you check in go to the far right line to get into the Dome. Go thru security, aviod the picture;) and go up the escalator.

 

Make sure your checked luggage gets the orange Priority tag. Carryon all drinks, including your Champagne.

In February our non-Priority carpool friends were onboard before we were, around 1pm.

To avoid the $50 FTTF fee---Cabins open around 1:30. Arriving at 1 would avoid most of the lines and your cabin would be ready.

 

****

Parking is $17/day or is your DH dropping you off?

 

Which ship??? We just had a great cruise on the Inspiration.

January 24th on the Grand, almost the same cruise as the Sapphire, but 9 days and no San Diego. Maybe we can get you off the ship this time.:D

Thanks so much! I am gonna get it.:D

 

I prefer to get there later because I hate to wait.

 

When you get there, just show your papers to the person at the door and someone will escort you to the next desk right past everyone in line.

 

If you have your passport in hand, you can be headed to the ship in less than 5 min from the front door.

 

4 people from front door to stepping on the ship was 15 min and that was with a bathroom stop.

Imagination. Couldn't pass up the solo rate I got.

 

I love getting off in Mazatlan. The little shopping area the tram takes you to. I'm looking forward to getting more of my cover-ups that I always got there. Mine are wearing out. Hope my favorite vendor returns.

 

You know the ship is my destination. :D:D

I usually go later too, but not without waits, so I'm gonna try this FTTF since it's such a short cruise.
