Pretty blue document case arrived!!!

[No Sea Legs]

Sailing Sept 6th on Eurodam on Canada/North America cruise....even though we have sailed with HAL before; this is our first document dance....we are now officially excited!

 

Glad to finally see the pretty blue case everyone has talked about on these boards, and it IS so much better than any others we have received (usually cheap cracked plastic). So three cheers for HAL and their blue case!:)

[Conniepo]

Congratulations!!! :D

 

Now you've got me anxious to see my pretty blue case .... will have to wait a few more months for that!

Congrats----that means your cruise is getting closer. Enjoy

[kescott98]

Congrats! Glad to know that I'm not the only who does a doc dance :).

[sue1898]

Congratulations! I'm dancing too, got mine yesterday. Enjoy your cruise. We were on the Eurodam in April and did Canda/New England last year. Both were great so I'm sure some of those same ports while aboard the Eurodam will be wonderful!

[TiggerG]

Just wondered if you received in mail or by UPS delivery?

 

We have PO box and would like to know so we can change to street address if UPS/FED X.

Thanks:)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Congratulations on getting your documents.

Don't forget to save that pretty blue folder at the end of your cruise for the future.

[ger_77]

Woo Hoo!!!

 

Enjoy dancing on your doorstep, down the driveway, across the lawn - oh wait, that's what I do. Find your own way to dance around the neighbourhood, but have fun with it. Hope you have a great cruise!

 

Smooth Sailing! :):):)

Either you are set up for electronic docs ... or yours will be coming soon. Also, if you booked HAL air, your paper docs, if you are getting them, will be sent about 30 days out.

Congrats on getting your docs--dance away!

 

I love the blue folders and I agree with KK. Do save it for future use. I use the blue folders for any tickets/docs when we travel. Next month I'll present my Princess docs from my HAL blue folder when we sail. :)

I haven't either Lins. They must be saving something special for us, right?

[themerle]

Congratulations! Enjoy your upcoming cruise!

[Debbie&Chaz]

Congrats - dance away! The blue folders are one of the many "little things" that make HAL special. I am one who hopes that in this electronic age, we can continue to get the real blue folders for a small fee. We love doing the document dance - and as much as I enjoy the computer screen, it's just not the same as the "blue folder."

Did you book through a TA?

Did you book your cruise recently??

If so you booked recently -- no folder unless you indicated so -- and you may pay a fee.

You need to explain who, what and when you booked.

The docs for our September 6 cruise on the Westerdam arrived today. HAL sent all of my groups documents out via FedEx on Monday July 20. They arrived in the FedEx delivery this morning.

Lins,

If you requested paper documents and used a travel agent, HAL will send the docs to the travel agent. In our agency we make copies of everything in the docs, add any flight and hotel confirmations, wrap up the personalized cruise albums we give as gifts and then call the clients to let them know that they are ready and ask if they want to come in and pick them up or have then sent by priority mail. Now that the paper docs aren’t what you really need to board the plane or ship or check into a hotel, the only time we sent items by FedEx is when the package includes paper plane tickets or paper vouchers for hotels or tours.

Our agency has paper documents as the default for documents. HAL doesn’t charge extra for the paper docs yet, but electronic docs are HAL’s default unless the agent specifically requests paper docs. FedEx charges $15 to send out one blue folder full of docs.

Hi, we received it by FedX.....happy sailing.

We also received ours yesterday and we were a bit worried because we're sailing next week, I'm sure this happened because we booked with a TA and we live in Italy. Anyway they're really pretty and I danced in the elevator!!!!!:):):):)

[koolforkatz]

I love those blue folders and should be receiving ours soon too! We keep ours for future cruises, too. They're a perfect size.

[Tricia724]

I also use the folders for all of my travel docs whether land or sea. I love it when I'm sailing a different cruiseline, and I pull out my folder at check-in and watch people watch me, wondering why they didn't get one. I have actually had other passengers and airline agents ask where I got the nice pouch.

 

But....with the current economy and the use of e-docs, I have a feeling they're not long for this world, so I'm taking care of the ones I have.

[Crew News]

You can appear to be a seasoned cruiser if you stop by the gift shop and pick up a lanyard (hangs your shipboard credentials around your neck) and then to the Front Desk to have a nice hole punched in your plastic credentials.

 

This important document will never get lost hanging around your neck wherever you go.

 

Better yet, bring a "cool" lanyard with you for your credentials.
