In August, Carnival Cruise Lines tested an expedited boarding program called ‘Faster to the Fun,’ this program proved so successful that it’s expanding to two more Miami-based Fun Ships this month, Carnival Destiny and Carnival Valor.

With the Faster to the Fun program guests can get priority embarkation, early stateroom availability and express luggage services.

The program came after guest surveys indicated a strong interest in a fee-based embarkation program.

If you’re a Diamond of Platinum member of Carnival’s VIFP Club loyalty program you will automatically get early stateroom availability and express luggage free of charge.

The program was first test on Carnival Liberty and Carnival Imagination and is $49.95 per stateroom, not per person.
