betsyrossapk Posted September 24, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2004 So excited when I went to my mailbox & discovered our documents this morning. I never expected them this soon & it seems like in no time at all we will be sailing away. One question, our trip comes with an onboard credit. There doesn't seem to be a place in our documents that shows this. Would I be missing something, or is there some place in the documents that would show if you have an onboard credit. Thanks to cruise critic for all the great advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovebirds Posted September 24, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hi, neighbor. Looks like you're planning to get out of town before the snow hits. Can't help you with the shipboard credit but someone else probably will. Have a GREAT cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted September 24, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Glad you got your docs. Maybe your shipboard credit came about after the docs were printed? When you get onboard, check w/the purser and see if your credit is listed on your account. Best thing -what I do- is take a copy of the confirmation of credit w/you as proof. I've heard of folks who had shipboard credits but they didn't show up on the S&S account...and they had no proof, so were out of luck.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted September 24, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Thanks for the bon-voyage Lovebirds. I will wave to you as we leave Hinckley. Re: Onboard credit, when we purchased our trip last March, it was a part of a special that was being run. It is listed on my invoice, so I will be sure to take that along with us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripes Posted September 24, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2004 We leave in 41 days too ... can't wait to check my mail to see if our docs are in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted September 24, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Stripes, See in my signature? We are going on the Inspiration on 11/4/04. How about you? I haven't seen too many others that are sailing on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripes Posted September 24, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Where are you leaving from? Which ports do you hit? We're sailing out of Miami and going to Key West, Cozumel and a day at sea. And I didn't see anything by your signature??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted September 24, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Stripes, We are leaving from Tampa & going to Cozumel only. I like this itinerary because it gives us 17 hrs there & I hear Cozumel is wonderful. At the bottom of all my messages is a line that says: Inspiration 11/4/04 Not sure why you aren't seeing it, but hope you have a wonderful time. I hear Key West is nice & I will have to try that itinerary in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is listed on my invoice, so I will be sure to take that along with us. :) Actually we'll wave goodby to you next Friday when we fly down to Naples for the winter. Since you have the invoice that shows the shipboard credit, you shouldn't have a problem. Check with the purser's desk as soon as you board and if it doesn't show, hand them a copy of the invoice. I've seen posts on other threads where people had to do that. Stripes may not have show signatures turned on in the user control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted September 24, 2004 Author #10 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Lovebirds, Hope that things start to calm down in Fla. by the time you are ready to fly out. Actually, I am hoping that this horrible hurricane season doesn't decide to extend itself into November. Hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise.

tngal Posted September 24, 2004 #11 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Now do the Doc dance! I wish I could...I'm sailing the same date as you, but no cruise docs yet :( Wonder why? I booked in June of this year, but was with a TA, maybe thats why?? OH well, have a great time!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted September 24, 2004 Author #12 Share Posted September 24, 2004 tngal, Happy to find someone that will be sailing the same time as we are. Who all are you going with? My husband & I will be celebrating our 20th anniversary so I am hoping for a wonderfully romantic getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngal Posted September 24, 2004 #13 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Congrats on your 20th wedding anniversary. I will be sailing with my best friend. No dh or kids. I guess you would call it "girls Night(s) out"!! Hope you have a blast on your cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugsrcute Posted September 24, 2004 #14 Share Posted September 24, 2004 If you book directly through Carnival do you receive your documents sooner than if you book through a TA? We're sailing out of Galveston on 11-1-04 and haven't received our docs yet!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted September 24, 2004 Author #15 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well, the weird thing is I book thru Continental One Pass for the cruise, but the documents came today in an envelope directly from Carnival. So.... I don't know which way is quicker, butr I'm glad I got mine so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripes Posted September 27, 2004 #16 Share Posted September 27, 2004 for our 11/4 Imagination Cruise - booked thru Carnival directly. Betsyross: I love Cozumel, that's one of the reasons we chose this cruise. We've never been to Key West, so that was the other reason! tngal: too bad we're on different ships ... we're a group of 5 women having a "girls night out" too!

betsyrossapk Posted September 27, 2004 Author #17 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Congratulations stripes! Isn't it a wonderful feeling. I think only those on these boards can share that with you. When my DH got home the day I got our docs & I told him, he basically said "That's nice". He knows I've been a bit obsessive with the countdown, but I'm so glad I can share the feeling here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripes Posted September 27, 2004 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2004 We booked directly with Carnival, are sailing on 11/4, and received our docs this past Friday (we were 41 days from sailing ... not that we're counting!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topazz11 Posted September 27, 2004 #20 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I have 41 days to go on my cruise (11/7/04 Destiny) and no docs yet. :-( Maybe they will be in the mail when I get home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliethecruiser Posted September 27, 2004 #21 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Betsyross, you got your docs already? That's great. I'll be on this cruise with you and your husband. I think we've already conversed a little way back in July when I booked this cruise. I have 38 days and counting till we sail under the Skyway bridge! I can't wait. With all these hurricanes lately, fortunately we've been spared here in Clearwater, I need a break!! No docs yet, unless the last hurricane blew them away. Hopefully soon. See you in November.

betsyrossapk Posted September 29, 2004 Author #23 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi Julia, So glad to hear from you again & yes I was so thrilled when we got our docs last week. I too am excited about sailing under the Skyway Bridge, so maybe I'll see you up there. I will be w/ my tall (6'4") DH, he has red hair & a red beard, so maybe we won't be too hard to miss :) I am really hoping we will get to travel under the bridge before we have to go to the Dining Room for dinner. My under standing is it takes a few hours to get there, so if we sail on time at 4PM, then we may get to watch it before our seating at 6:15PM. So happy that you've been spared from the awful hurricanes. I am just hoping that the hurricane season will not be extended into November. It has just been awful for you all in Florida & you need some relief from it all. Here's hoping those docs will be in your mailbox real soon.

juliethecruiser Posted September 30, 2004 #24 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Got my docs today for the 11/4 cruise on the Inspiration. I had booked an inside guarantee and my room # was on my docs. No upgrades, but I wasn't expecting any due to the fact that I paid dirt cheap prices. 4A's were going for about $300 dollars more, a few weeks ago, from what I paid back when I booked my cruise. Now I'm ready to go. See you in Tampa, Betsyross. Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted September 30, 2004 Author #25 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Doing the happy dance for you Julia! Now you just have to start doing all those last minute packing lists to make the time go faster. I went shopping yesterday for the all the little items we need, sun block, sea bands etc. It will be here in no time at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
