Premier Cruise-FTTF?

[Joker440]

I booked my first Premier Cruise on the Miracle for February 20, 2016. I see this includes Priority boarding. We use self assist at the end of the cruise. The way I see it, FTTF will allow us to go directly to the stateroom and priority tender service in Cabo. Wondering if it is worth it this time. Anybody out there with Premier Cruise experience who can help me decide whether or not it's worth it?

What you mentioned would really be the only benefits remaining. Just off a premier and we loaded just after Diamond/Plat and before FTFF. But it was about a 2 minute difference.

I have used FTTF previously, I have sailed Premium Casino cruises and am now platinum. There is no reason to purchase FTTF if you are Premium if embarkation is the reason. You have priority with Premium and your room will be ready. I am not sure if you have tender priority or use of the special line at guest services. So you will need to determine which of these are important to you and what they are worth. Have a wonderful cruise.

I hope the OP doesn't mind me jumping in and asking about this as well - I booked my 1st premier - and wondered as well about FTTF - I realize the room would be ready - would the luggage also get there early - or would you need FTTF for that ?? Thanks !!

We are doing a Premier cruise next week. We were just wondering what the gifts were. Also, when was the welcome cocktail party?

Cocktail party was at 5PM just after Muster drill.

 

In Room gifts included:

 

Dozen Cookies

Plate of Petit Four candies

Bottle of Proseco

Two nice carnival players cups with lids and built in straw

Bluetooth speaker

 

Just got off on 19 September 2015 so this was very recent.

We have been on 2 premier cruises and the 1st one was before we were platinum. I still got FTTF and I was glad that I did. Although you are supposed to get early boarding, this did not happen on either of my premier cruises. I know this because we were with another couple that are not platinum and did not get FTTF. I also wanted it so that I could have the separate phone line and waiting line for guest services. Not to having to wait forever in line was always worth it for me.

 

So having my luggage early and the faster guest services line was always enough incentive for me to get FTTF.
