Cruise Doc's - Boarding Passes

[earnied]

Just received our cruise doc's and included were our boarding passes. At 75 days prior I had excitedly printed out our boarding passes and have them all ready to go. I'm curious why Princess includes the boarding passes in their document mailing ? Are there still that may cruisers that don't have internet access ? I imagine eliminating one piece of paper for every cruiser would result in savings for Princess, but having to deal with passengers that are unable to print their own boarding passes may offset any of those savings.......

We haven't gotten bording passes from Princess in years. Any chance your TA did it or aked Princess to include them?

I just received my packet a couple of weeks ago and it only contained luggage tags, answer book and shore excursion pages - no boarding passes.

 

I have always had to print my own boarding passes so maybe that is something that your TA did for you.

[earnied]

Good point, I'll have to ask my TA, it makes sense that he would have the capibility of printing out client boarding passes.......

Passengers who do not have internet access receive their travel summary and boarding pass from their travel agent. Which tells us the OP completed their pre-cruise immigration information with their TA and not online.

 

Pax will receive by mail Princess' package of pre-cruise documents including a welcome letter, Cruise Answer Book, Adventures Ashore excursion booklet, passage contract, and luggage tags.

When I went and picked up our packet from the ta she had gone ahead and printed out the boarding passes for us.

I agree the TA must have done it.

Where did the boarding pass come from Princess or TA?

 

The luggage tags should come in the pre cruise packet.

 

If you booked through a TA then maybe your TA has the tags.

 

I have never seen a boarding pass sent in the mail.

Call them and request them.

They will have some at the pier as well.

Are the three of you stating that your TA printed out your boarding pass?

 

Or has Princess started mailing them out along with the packet? ? ? :rolleyes:...:confused:

[barbara brad]

When do we get our documents?

[chrysalis]

When do we get our documents?

 

For an April cruise you should be getting them any day now

[barbara brad]

Thanks Can't wait!

Okay, just heard back from my TA. He did indeed print out our boarding passes and included them in our package. This confirms that Princess does not mail out boarding passes in their package.

Princess does not mail boarding passes.

You must print them out yourself.

5 days before boarding, otherwise the check-in process takes longer on embarkment day.

If you are computer literate, as I stated above, TA's can print them out for you.

 

The Boarding Pass provides information required at embarkation.

There are two types of passes: •Boarding Pass •Preferred Boarding Pass

 

In order to print the Boarding Pass, the following needs to be completed:

 

• The booking has been paid in full.
  

 

• The required immigration information has been added to the booking.
  

 

• All credit card information has been added to the booking
  

You cannot print the boarding pass if:

The required Immigration (PIF) and credit card information is NOT provided to Princess Cruises up to five (5) days prior to sailing.

When do we get our documents?

 

Usually a couple of weeks after the final payment date. Sometimes will be a little later.

I still haven't received my pre-cruise docs for my April cruise but they should be coming this week. :)

[Sandytoes]

Isn't that what Earnied just said in his post?

Yep!

 

Just curious why he printed his passes...:confused:

especially since he mentioned "eliminating one piece of paper for every cruiser would result in savings for Princess". ;)

 

And then to top it off, he stated his TA printed them off.

 

Hmmm, double boarding passes, seems like a waste of paper to me....;)..:D

I took it as his TA only printed them. :confused:

I don't know about you, but I have never received my passes from a TA since Princess went to ETicket. I have to print them out myself.

 

I didn't want the OP to mislead CC Posters into thinking all TA's print out boarding passes and include it in the “pre-cruise” packet.

right, travel agents sonetimes have the pre-cruise docs sent to them and some include little extras such as travel agency luggage tags etc before sending them to the passengers, is seems like the ta also printed off the boarding passes, some like to do this especially for their less computer literate clients or ones witout a computer.

Some may do it routinely as a "courtesy. "
