photonut4 Posted April 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hello, we have a suite booked for an upcoming cruise and our documents have Priority on them, does that mean we will be able to go directly to our cabin to drop off our stuff, or do we need FTTF for that? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtytwo Posted April 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Suite passengers board immediately after Dia/Plat/FTTF and can go direct to their cabin to drop off luggage. No need for FTTF. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elklemi Posted April 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2017 You don't need FTTF for that perk, you can go directly to your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Be sure to tell the staff when you get to the terminal for embarkation that you are priority - you will be sent to a special area to check in - even faster than the FTTF line. ~Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. No, you will have to have FTTF for that. I have a suite booked as well and taking a disabled cruiser with me who will need a bit of rest after we got on the ship. Suite perks include priority embark/debark, bottle of water, 1 bag of laundry. FTTF, includes early access to room, priority guest services, priority tenders, early delivery of luggage, priority for dining reservations. There might be something else because I don't remember everything but needed to get the FTTF in order for her to rest for a while. I don't go to guest services very much and we don't have any tenders on upcoming trip next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, actually suite guests board before FTTF; however, they do not have immediate access to their rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted April 14, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Sigh...I really hate it when people post incorrect information because it just leads to confusion. Especially for newbies. For clarification, if you have a suite booked but are not Diamond or Platinum and do not have FTTF, you cannot access your stateroom until they make the announcement that all rooms are ready. Here is the sign they post on the doors. As you can see, only Diamond, Platinum and FTTF rooms are ready early.

luv2trvlnow Posted April 14, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Here is a link to the FTTF benefits. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1374 It you look at the red note after each benefit you will see if Suite guests get that benefit. From what I can see there Suite guest get the following: Priority Security Check in and Express boarding Dining reservations Tender Priority Debarkation choices They don't get the following: First access to stateroom Priority Luggage Guest services line and phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted April 14, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) You do not have access to your cabin to "drop things off". I mentioned this in my Vista posting. Cabins are not ready and the cabin keys were not in the mailboxes because that is not a perk of Suites. Keep FTTF if you want that. Plus it's nice for the Guest Services line. Notice on the door sign it does not say for Suites to enter. Also on the card it does not say Suites will have their cabins ready either. Priority on the boarding pass is simply for boarding purposes, not for anything else as denoted on the card in the second picture. Again, it does not say Suites.

I wish that some of the posters would do some fact checking before posting incorrect information. I have read some of the reviews that people put on here and some of the are people without FTTF and are not Diamond/Platinum and they just go right on through the doors and dump stuff in their rooms. Can they not read the signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photonut4 Posted April 14, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thank you all and I went ahead and purchased FTTF. I have a bad arm, so being able to drop my stuff off right away is worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassyredhat Posted April 14, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm almost afraid to ask-----Some rude person on the NCL boards actually suggested that I, among the "retards", :eek: was trying to get something I shouldn't get. Ok, am I correct? My family is only Gold. Two are disabled and will meet their interpreter onboard, I assume. They will NOT have priority boarding with us who are in a SUITE ??? Right?? Don't care about the rooms being ready. I just don't want to leave them alone during embarkation. Thanks. :) Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you want you can do your check in and then go to the general boarding with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
