Carnival Fee For Early Embarkation


Would you pay an extra $49.95 to get on board sooner?


Well Carnival is testing out a new program "Faster to the Fun" for cruisers who want to avoid the long lines at the cruise port. Other benefits include express luggage delivery, early or late disembarkation, priority dinner seating, tender priority, and express access to the ships guest service desk. The additional cost is per stateroom - not the number of occupants in the stateroom.

According to guest surveys, Carnival states there is a strong interest in a fee-based package that provides the same priority access and benefits that Diamond and Platinum level members get for free. The "Faster to the Fun" designation shows up on the printed boarding documents via the online registration.    

The new program rolls out on the Carnival Imagination's sailing on August 20th, and the Carnival Liberty sailing on August 25th.

"Faster to the Fun" can be purchased in the shore excursion section of carnival.com located at www.carnival.com/Activities/Excursion/101031.
