no cruise docs, no e-docs, only fun pass

[illusions_on_the_sea]

When I spoke to my PVP one time and we were talking about getting the cruise docs, he made a comment about even if you didn't get your cruise docs booklet and you didn't print the e-docs once you showed up woth your fun pass you'd be fine. BUt if I didn't receive my cruis ebooklet I would definitely print out the edocs just to be safe.

 

Has anyone showed up to check in without their docs and only their fun pass? How did it go?

 

I have a month to go beforeour cruise but if my docs didn't show up in the mail I will use the edocs and fun pass.

We booked the Miracle 5 days before it sailed last year...........Went to the port with only the fun pass and had no problems..............

the only doc we had in Janurary was the fun pass. And as far as printing edocs, the only page you need on them is page 5. The sign and sail card part. If you are not sharing a credit card, you will need one for each person. As for the rest of the papers, they are useless. A waste of ink and paper.

 

I also printed the luggage tags, and ended up not using them. They snap off in a matter of seconds. I prefer to wait till i get to the port to get them. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ADDRESS LABELS, AND A MARKER TO MARK THE TAGS WITH. Some porters have markers, some don't. This will save you time in writing you name and all on each tag at the port.

 

Porters think it is a great idea also. You can also place them on immigration forms for the Bahamas instead of writing you address out. Also, if you want to share you address with someone, it is easier.

 

Just a little tip from someone who learned after first cruise about labels.

 

Happy sailing.

We needed page 1 too.

 

PAges 1 is the boarding pass. page 5 is your sign and sail application (which you need even if you are placing cash)

and page 10 is your luggage tags.

The funpass is all you really need. If you do not print page 5 (sign and sail) you can also complete that at the port.

Page 1 of mine was nothing but writing and saying booking summary and itinerary. It even told me at the bottom quicklinks Pg 5 and 10. If you are talking funPass, that was printed seperatly.

If you are going Bahamas and did not get a immigration paper, you will have to fill those out at the port. takes about 2 min to do so.

Unless you can laminate it after stapling it on your luggage, 2 seconds and it is off. Porter did it in front of me, after me doing it 3 times on my bags.

 

If you can wait till you get to the port, use the ones with the elastic bands that they put on. Safer in the long run.

 

A wrong grab from a porter, or crew member, and your luggage is lost at sea so to speak.

I was thinking about attaching it with a cable tie.

that may work. Just fold on the lines where it says fold here, and then fold in half and lamaniate and punch a hole in it.

I used a strip of duct tape and folded the luggage tag around the tape, stapled the tag on the luggage handle. It worked like a charm

[Chris41]

We laminated and used cable ties to secure the tags to our bags in Aug. The tags stayed intact through out the flight from Fl to Rome,bus trip to the ship and getting the luggage on board. We all know what the bags go through during this process. Just remember to take something with you so you can remove them if you have to fly back out at the end of your cruise.Hope you have a great trip.
