CanadianDee Posted December 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2014 All the Faster to the Fun passes had been snapped up by the time we decided on a cruise. As per some of the advice on CC, I contacted Carnival and asked about being waitlisted for FTTF. I got a really quick response - thank you, Carnival! - explaining that " final numbers ultimately depends on the numbers of Diamond and Platinum guests also sailing". Make sense. More spaces might open up closer to the sail date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziez00 Posted December 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) We are 30 days out from our Dream cruise (1-4-15) and I have been checking every day, many times a day, since I booked for FTTF because they were sold out at the time I booked. (We have always had it and LOVE IT!!) They released 8 more of them at 1:30 today. Definitely keep checking!! Good luck!

Butterbean1000 Posted December 4, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Just as an FYI, don't rely on Carnival to contact you in a timely manner. We check availability on line a couple times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianDee Posted December 4, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Just as an FYI, don't rely on Carnival to contact you in a timely manner. We check availability on line a couple times a day. Oh yeah, I would still check regularly. They didn't promise to waitlist us, and I wouldn't expect them to. FTTF would be nice, but definitely not necessary. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted December 4, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2014 When I checked with Carnival about this subject, I received a response stating they were going to post a new set shortly, to which they did. Unfortunately, I just gave it back because I had to cancel the cruise. But, booking a new one (5 months from now), I went and looked and found some there, which was a surprise. Grabbed one. Went back today (2 days later), there were still 9 available. (11 before I grabbed one). Odd how some cruises they are snapped up and other cruises, not so much.

I am on the same sailing and I've been checking non-stop and I didn't see any open today, I must've just missed them lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted December 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is there a charge for them? Sent from my iPad using Forums FTTF is $49.95 per Stateroom (not per person). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozebabe Posted December 5, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is there a charge for them? Sent from my iPad using Forums Yes they are $50 per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlethepearl Posted December 5, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2014 They allot a small number in the beginning then as Diamond and Platinum bookings come in they evaluate the number they release. I was on the Oct 4 sailing on Glory and we are Diamond and there were quite a few first time and relatively new cruisers who spent the money to get the FTTF perks. It isn't bad if you want to get into your room a little earlier. We were on the Conquest last week and there weren't very many FTTF that we came across. It just depends. It's not a bad price to get in your cabin a little earlier. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L&J Posted December 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 5, 2014 We booked the Splendor back in July and all the FTTF were sold out. I check multiple times a day and even contacted Carnival who said they'd send out an email heads up when more would be released. Well...yesterday (10 weeks out from cruise) I fluked on it and they had just released 15 more so I snapped ours up. Yay!!! And I didn't get an email heads up from them. Keep checking!!

snc_cam Posted December 5, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 5, 2014 No more then 30 cabins per sailing will be available I know that is their goal but on one of my booked cruises, they have already posted three groups of 15 "excursions". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted December 5, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I know that is their goal but on one of my booked cruises, they have already posted three groups of 15 "excursions". I think what happened there was a large group had it booked and cancelled which in turned freed those up. Carnival could not really offer up more cabins because the FTTF will generate more lines which will pi$$ people off since it is advertised as no waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2csons Posted December 5, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I tried to purchase the FTTF when we booked our 12/28 cruise on the Conquest & all were sold out. I've checked every single day for the last two weeks & nothing. Yesterday, I thought I'd check again & there were 15 available! Snagged it right up! This will be our first FTTD & we are so excited! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We noticed that for our sailing out of Long Beach. It was even longer than that though. They were available for at least a week. Haven't looked lately so I don't know if it sold out.

kelkel2 Posted December 6, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 6, 2014 We had it on our 2013 cruise just after it came out and we loved it. We are now looking for it for our January 2016 cruise. They haven't released excursions yet, but the 1 year mark is just around the corner and I am assuming it won't be long now, so I have started a routine of checking for price drops, then checking for FTTF. I know it's early but I would really like to snag FTTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally Carnival begins posting FTTF/excursions in April/May for the next year cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
