Hello, we purchased Faster to the Fun months ago and recently checked in for our upcoming cruise. The check in time we were given was 1:30pm. If we have FTTF, can we ignore that check in time and get on the ship earlier?

I am very fortunate . When we cruise , we get up, shower, eat our morning meal, load our luggage then drive to the Park & Ride just across the river from the cruise terminal. We then are taken right to the ship with all our luggage , check the luggage with the porters , and Ho through the check points and board the ship. Always on board eatin our lunch by noon ,and no extra FTTF charges of delays . ALWAYS prepare to get to the ship BEFORE the large tour buses from the Orlando Airport or hotels .

THATS good to know. They took our luggage considerably earlier, and we got onboard somewhere around 10 as I remember. There was already other FTTF luggage there when we arrived. We've used it a few times, and they have ALWAYS had our cabin ready with our luggage in it. Can't beat that!!!

If you do that, whats the point of purchasing FTTF? whenever we cruise CARNIVAL, we purchase it. We're already exalted platinum poobahs on NCL, (fwiw), eventually we'll get there on CARNY..but that's another whole discussion.

We wait til 10:30. It has been my experience that that is the time when the ships are normally clear of all previous guests.
