FTTF- disembark

[AEPi71]

How early is the early disembarkation for FTTF in Baltimore? Someone travelling in our party needs to be in North Jersey the day we get back by 4pm.

Don't know if Baltimore is different but in Galveston fttf holders are given 3 choices. Self-assist early, zone 1 also early, or go to Guest Services to request a higher zone number if you want a leisurely breakfast and a later time to disembark.

Would that make it Faster From The Fun? :p

If you carry your own luggage off the ship you can literally be the first folks off in the AM!

self assist is available even if you don't have FT(or F)TF, right?

[snc_cam]

Self assist is available to anyone. However with FTTF, you are placed after the Diamond/Platinum Self Assist and before the general public. You are also usually segregated with Diamond/Platinum.

 

Depending on what parts of NJ and traffic, if the ship docks by 9am you should be off by 10.

We had FTTF in Baltimore a couple weeks ago. We didn't get off until nearly 11:30. Then one of our suitcases went missing in the luggage claim and after walking around the terminal for 30 minutes searching all the other zones, it magically appeared in zone 1. I think someone mistakenly took it and realized (thankfully!) before they left and returned it). We did the park and cruise from Best Western so we had to wait a little bit for the shuttle and then to load and uload and relaod the car. I had to drop my husband off in New Jersey near Philadelphia and it was 3 o' clock before we got there after hitting traffic and construction.

I have sailed out of Baltimore 4 times. If you sail in the winter, the ship is usually a little late, so they sometimes do not start getting off the ship until 10:30 or so... if you sail other then winter months, the ship is usually on time 9am, so they start letting people off by 10am, sometimes a little earlier. If you so self assist with FTTF then you should be off somewhere around 10 and in the car by 10:30am most of the time.. If you don't do self assist, then you might be cutting it close to get back to north jersey by 4pm.

The FTTF people who are doing self assist are told to meet with the Plat/Diamond folks at their "secret" location to be let off the ship first.THEN the other folks doing self assist are allowed to leave.

I had FTTF and self assisted last Sunday. We were walking off between 9am-9:30am

If the ship gets back on schedule, FTTF self-assist gets offs at 9am and checked bags get off at 10am. Last week, passengers got off the ship 15 minutes earlier than scheduled.
