We found Faster to the Fun worth it. Early access to the cabin is not permitted without it but many people bring the bags to the cabin contrary to the rules.
We have always been able to get to our cabin and drop off our bags and leave. Plus we get to meet our cabin stewart
Another Pro tip: bring your own cup. Yeti, tumbler and what not. In XL class ships there’s self serve fountain soda. However, you can always refill your own bottle of water for free using your own bottle your bring on board.
Speaking of drinks to bring on the ship, the drink we brought on the ship was several of the 30 gram "Premier Protein" drinks. They are in cardboard packaging, they are slightly less than 12 ounces, they fit nicely in the fridge in your room, and you can get them for $29.99 for 18 of them at Costco. My wife and I drink one each morning and they are a great start.
Having traveled on a variety of Carnival Ships from the Smaller Paradise to the Mardi Gras one my favorite parts of the cruise is breakfast, especially Omelettes and since I’m an very early riser for work I find out when the omelette station opens and I’m usually one of the first few in line. And that will be my first breakfast of the morning,
I would always advise getting travel insurance, because one slip on the pool deck or going up and down the stairs anywhere on the ship can become very expensive.
I also put a copy of my boarding pass inside my luggage in case the luggage tag gets ripped off during the loading process and an additional luggage tag with my name and phone number on it as well so they can find my name room number.
Also when you have the drink package take full advantage of everything it offers from specialty coffee/teas, soft drinks, energy and sports drinks, milkshakes etc…a lot of people don’t fully realize just how much it covers.

Sea day brunch is our go to on every sea day
Thank you for subscribing!
We love the sea day brunch.
We did FTTF once long before we became Platinum and it was only about $50. (LONG TIME AGO)!! It was well worth it.
It would definitely be worth it for only $50
Breakfast/ we try to go to the dining room for sit down breakfast
We enjoy that, too
Steak and Eggs for Sea Day Brunch is awesome. We don't do any packages just not worth it for us. We are Platinum next cruise so looking forward to the free laundry service.
Congrats!
Laundry service is great we turned platinum on our last cruise
@genesnyder2985 they changed you over to Platinum before embarkation day right? We actually turn Platinum our second night so was wondering if they just make you Platinum before.
They do!
If you turn platinum during the cruise you will actually get the platinum card & perks at check in.
I love doing sea day brunch in the dining room. I like ordering eggs over easy at the buffet. I will always tip a dollar to person who makes my eggs. I always bring a 12 pack of coke zero on board. I will always order a 12 pack of water. I love Carnival. I'm in the casino club. I drink free in the Casino. They always send me great deals. I'm now platinum on Carnival. I do get to drop off my carry on stuff in my cabin early. That and the free laundry service is awesome.
This are all great tips!
Above all things. GET TRAVEL INSURANCE.
We totally agree. We always recommend it when folks book trips with us
Right, I’ve never sail without travel insurance.
100% agree. FYI, the travel insurance Carnival offers has basic coverage, we added third party insurance as well. If you need to be medically evacuated from the ship, it could cost thousands if you don't have good travel insurance.
Great tips! As far as putting your carry ons in your cabin before 1:30, I think this perk is only for FTTF, Platinum or Diamond cruises. If this is wrong, please let me know.
I think you’re right. We are going to check it out on our next Carnival cruise
We use FTTF and love it. If you are not Platinum, Diamond, have FTTF or in a Suite you are breaking the rules if you go to your cabin before they announce that the cabins are ready.
Thank you for the info. We’ve always waited, but we saw some information that suggested otherwise.
We are certain you’re right. We’re going tot try to edit this video to fix that, but it’s difficult to do after it’s posted!
We always travel with family and if any of us have a suite we do go into that room before the others are ready on embarkation day.
FTTF is absolutely not worth it. You DO NOT get the same priority status. You still go in with the regular non priority, and non suit guests. Also, you STILL have to wait for priority (platinum, diamond) and suite guests to board before you do. FTTF is a waste of money and you’d be better off just working for platinum and diamond status.
Side note: this is a pro carnival trip. You are NOT breaking the rules going to your rooms before they are ready. Matter of fact John held the brand ambassador encourages guest to go to their rooms before ready to drop off their luggage.
Excuse me go do a FFTF search on the home page for Carnival, it states FFTF can drop bags at your stateroom.
@@adrianmartinez5418 as a platinum cruiser I can tell you first hand that’s another scam. I’ve had plenty of times I didn’t get my luggage until close to dinner on embark.
Carnival has increased the price of their 12 pack water to $16.
Hey, guys! As always, great video. You've become my go to for tips on our first cruise! Question for ya. When traveling Carnival specifically, do you prefer early or late check in? I know we'll be schlepping carry-ons with us. TIA!
That’s such a hard question to answer. We usually take a small rolling computer bag and a back pack and to early boarding.
We give everything else to the porters to deliver to our cabin.
We have boarded with a carryon bag and pulled it around- it’s not the end of the world, but if we were doing that today, we’d probably board around 1:00 so our cabin would be ready shortly after getting on the ship
