LindaKE Posted July 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Will I be notified when e-docs are available, or do I need to keep checking NCL's web site to find them? I'm pretty sure that documentss came in snail mail on our previous cruises, so don't know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yahootelemundo Posted July 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Dont really listen to me , im new to ncl , but I think the e-doc are available after final payment. Thats was my case,:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted July 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2009 e-docs will be available after final payment, and sometimes not until right before you cruise. You have to watch the website to find out if they are available for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted July 30, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted July 30, 2009 We made final payment a few weeks ago, although it wasn't due until earlier this week. (I know the concensus is that we shouldn't do it early, but the price is currently $620 pp higher than we paid. Since we saw the price going up, up, up, I went ahead and paid so the date wouldn't slip by me.) NCL website says e-docs are pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you made final payment when required, the new rates you are seeing are a mute point regardless of how much higher than what you paid. You paid off early w/out any benefit to yourself and just gave the cruiseline your money to use to their benefit earlier than required. Personal choice....just not one I would have done. Edocs can be ready at various times before your cruise.....just have to keep checking to see when that magical printing moment arrives ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillfloatin' Posted July 30, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2009 You'll receive an email when they are ready. I got an email notification last week and my cruise isn't until late September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pateoreo1 Posted July 30, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2009 For my June cruise I did get an e-mail when they were ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverthought Posted July 30, 2009 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2009 We're not cruising until end of Sept. Our edocs were ready to print right after final payment was made. Ours are printed out and just waiting to go...and so are we! ;) Neverthought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted July 30, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I guess I'll check occasionally unless I receive an e-mail. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggie59 Posted July 30, 2009 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hmmm.....we booked 2 weeks ago for a September crusie. Because I booked so late....I had to pay the entire bill. A day or 2 after...I noticed e-docs were ready to print. I thought I was supposed to get an email....it hasnt arrived yet....but the e-docs are all printed and ready to go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delco Posted July 30, 2009 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Try going to http://edocs.ncl.com/edocs/ and put in your reservation # and name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted July 30, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted July 30, 2009 That got the message that "reservation is not ready to be retrieved yet". I guess I just have to be patient and check back occasionally even if I don't get an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads&Tails Posted July 30, 2009 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Cruising 9/20 on the Pearl and had already made final payment. We did advance registration and then about a week later 7/14 got notice to do edocs, filled them out and printed. Now just waiting for the ship to pick us up.

arby70 Posted July 31, 2009 #15 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm sailing on the Spirit on Sept. 25th and I printed my edocs on July 21. It sounds like they vary as to when they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShark Posted July 31, 2009 #16 Share Posted July 31, 2009 For my last two cruises, I received an email notification when the e-docs were ready. This time, I did not. For the first cruise, I only got the e-docs. For the second, I got e-docs and a packet in the mail. Yesterday, I received an email stating that they were sending another packet via mail. So far there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I would just keep checking online for the e-docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collegecruiser346 Posted July 31, 2009 #17 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It says that they are available 30 days prior to sailing, but I got mine with 37 days left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted July 31, 2009 Author #18 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I just got an e-mail saying they're available now. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sottovoce Posted July 31, 2009 #19 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Our travel agent sent us an email two or three days ago saying our eDocs were available for a September 11 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted August 1, 2009 #20 Share Posted August 1, 2009 We're cruising on 10/3, our final payment was due and made on 7/20, and to our surprise our edocs were ready about a week thereafter....more than 60 days before the cruise. We did not get an email saying they were ready. I just signed in to check my reservation, and there they were...ready to be printed. On the other hand some of the people in our cruise's Roll Call group do not yet have their documents available. As others have said, there seems to be no consistency in when docs are available, or discernable reason for why some are when others are not.

sottovoce Posted August 1, 2009 #22 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Got an email today, edocs ready and sailing in 69 days. I think we're on the same cruise, and printed our edocs today. No email yet from our TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndyb Posted August 2, 2009 #23 Share Posted August 2, 2009 We're 70 days from sailing and I just received an e-mail from NCL advising e-docs are available. I'd checked this morning and they were still pending. Final payment was due on Monday, 7/27 and I made the final payment on 7/23. We booked the cruise direct through NCL. If I receive actual hard copy documents, I'll post, as it would be interesting to see if there is any trend between those who receive the hard copy and those who don't.

sjnyc323 Posted August 2, 2009 #24 Share Posted August 2, 2009 On websites it says e docs available after final payment is made air arrangements finalized if booking through them and 60 days from cruise date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
