ccdaniel2707 Posted March 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2015 In 24 days we sail on the Valor to the southern Caribbean out of Port Canaveral. I have been desperately trying to get a FTTF pass for months now. I find myself checking the website every few minutes the closer it gets. I have the website minimized on my computer at work!![emoji23][emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted March 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We always book ours when we book our cruise, my experience, they are gone over 8 weeks out from the cruise, but keep looking maybe you get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schusterj Posted March 11, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We cruised Carnival from Port Canaveral in October on Carnival Liberty. The embarkation was so efficient that we arrived at the port at 12:00 noon and were on the ship in 30 minutes. We stayed at the Radisson by the Port and used their free shuttle. We did not have fttf.

love my grandkids Posted March 11, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Since there are no tender ports dont think FTTF is all that valuable on this itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted March 11, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I got our FTTF for our Sunshine cruise that we took last week just 15 days away from sailing. There might be a spot that opens up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdknw Posted March 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I did the same thing. When I finally got it, it was kind of like Christmas morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetcadillac Posted March 11, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We just got off the Carnival Fantasy last week. I cannot speak for Carnival at other ports, but at Charleston, since we did a Snooze 'N Cruise and were dropped off at the port, it did not seem like FTTF or status would have given us much benefit. We were dropped off at the luggage depot, got on a shuttle to the ship around 1145AM, went inside, there was not much of a line, waited maybe 8-10 minutes to see someone at the counter, and were proceeding to the ship. Since we did not have really any carry-ons, we just went to the lido buffet fixed a plate and leisurely ate for about an hour. Then went to the Spa for a tour and demonstration. About 2 walked down to our cabin, bags were there and we proceeded to unpack and set up before sail away. By the time we were about to sail we found one of the secret decks to watch the last minute activities and the cast off. I think it will depend on the terminal situation and your particular need to get into your room quickly. Otherwise we seemed to manage quite fine without anything special. Same for tender ports. If you need/desire to get off the ship quickly otherwise we take our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
