• For guests sailing on multiple cruises back to back, FTTF must be purchased for each cruise in order to benefit from the program.
• FTTF can only be purchased prior to the cruise; al a carte services cannot be purchased onboard. FTTF is now open on sail dates through 2018, where applicable. It will be offered on the Carnival Horizon starting with the 12/01/2018 departure. For 2019 sail dates, please check back in the Spring of 2018.
• All FTTF guests must check-in online and select an Arrival Appointment.
