When do they open extra FTTF slots

[villagenut]

Just to follow up, yesterday was 73 days out from my cruise and they opened up some late last night. When i got on the site, there were 3 left. I needed the package for 2 cabins but managed to only get one booked before they ran out. Hopefully they will open up again. If not, what are my options? call and request since i have two cabins? cancel the one i have? Thoughts or ideas?

As was previously reported, FTTF availability is a finite number that consists of slots for Diamond/Plat and suite cruisers. Any inventory remaining after those folks are covered is what is sold to the rest of us. As the numbers firm up the closer you get to your sail date, if any additional inventory becomes available Carnival will make those limited numbers available. But as you noted, they're pretty limited and the sale window closes pretty quick. Calling and asking probably will not help...the PVP will just look and see that there is no FTTF for sale to the public and tell you that. However, I would not cancel the FTTF you were able to get for one cabin. While only the folks staying in that cabin will reap the benefits of expedited security, check in and boarding, at least one cabin will be available early so once the rest of the party gets aboard they can dump luggage in that room. Just my $.02.
