Staceman225 Posted August 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2015 A buddy of mine and I are taking our wives on a cruise in Oct. We got a late jump and all the FTTF were gone. We have been checking religiously every day for more releases. I got a text from him this morning saying that some had been released. I immediately snag one while he runs to his car to get his wallet. Long story short, I won and he lost. My question is.... How bad should I feel when we are blowing by him in Port? *evil laugh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discjoker Posted August 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Don't feel bad. Also, make sure you give him a smirk and a nod as you blow past him in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisegoer Posted August 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Wouldn't you feel like the rube if when you arrive at port his line is relatively short and he is checked in only seconds behind you having saved about $100 to spend on other things. Karma's a B!tch sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserNC Posted August 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Drop some reverse psychology. Ask him to buy you a drink with the money he saved. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birm Posted August 6, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It isn't $100. per cabin......they are $60.00. Got FTTF for my next 3 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud dad Posted August 6, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2015 arrive with him and they will let them board with you..if his cabin is not ready let him store his carry on in your room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted August 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If you had waited for your friend to get his wallet, by the time he tried to book, that one spot might have been gone and you both lost out the chance. He will still probably be able to get one at some point if he keeps trying. And by the way, that is a good friend you have there. He could just as well have kept the secret to himself until he was able to snag that spot, then told you when there were none left. Good friends are the real treasures in life.:) Enjoy you FTTF, and hope your buddy snags one too at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelkel2 Posted August 6, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If your buddy wants it that bad tell him to keep checking for it. Chances it will pop back up again before october. Otherwise, your room sounds like the designated hang out/carry on drop off place once they get on the shop. Tell them to come to the port early with you guys and hopefully they can get an early boarding number and be on the ship shortly after you.

Unless there are tender ports or something where he'll want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlou Posted August 6, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Why don't you both arrive at the port at the same time and meet in the Atrium Lobby. Your friend can leave his carry on in your cabin, freshen up and then go have lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted August 6, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 6, 2015 maybe his wants to get FTTF, probably will be available sooner or later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerReuv Posted August 6, 2015 #19 Share Posted August 6, 2015 arrive with him and they will let them board with you..if his cabin is not ready let him store his carry on in your room This is not correct. If the cabin did not purchase FTTF then they cannot board with them. No friends tagging along, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandemcruzr Posted August 6, 2015 #20 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Be sure to remind your buddy to keep his wallet with him at all times. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carib1 Posted August 6, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) He should have put it in his cart first, then go get his wallet.:p Edited August 6, 2015 by carib1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted August 7, 2015 #22 Share Posted August 7, 2015 arrive with him and they will let them board with you..if his cabin is not ready let him store his carry on in your room That would depend on which port your are departing. There have been multiple treads asking if or complaining about the fact that only those with priority/FTTF listed on their boarding pass are allowed to board early. This is because of exactly what you have suggested. One stateroom buys FTTF and what to bring their entire family with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardhowson Posted August 7, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Not sure where his car was parked, but leaving a wallet in a car is generally not a good idea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandb6266 Posted August 7, 2015 #24 Share Posted August 7, 2015 You know there is a lesson to be learned about missing FTTF. Never leave your wallet in your car. What if someone steals your car. They have your credit cards to get gas. Always keep your wallet on your person. HAPPY SAILING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
