Departure Cards

[Tigerman00]

Hi, I have been thinking that departure at the cruise terminal and airports would be a lot smoother if you could fill in and print out the departure cards prior to arrival at the port or airport. Why could this not be the case, Australia is so far behind the times !!

 

Just my Opinion .

we grab a handful of the green cards and fill them out at home and hand them into customs when boarding

[awesome girl]

We must be lucky with our TA she never fails to give us the green cards

with our final paperwork, we fill them out before leaving home.

Australia is not behind the times, we always fill ours in before leaving home, have done for years

Our departure cards have alway arrived in the ticket wallet , with the package from the TA.

I have a stack of them in my desk and hand them out to every client who is travelling overseas...

We always fill in our departure cards pre cruise or pre flight at home, saves time and no stress. Just call in at any travel agent and pick a couple up, way to go.

How do you mean? Are you a TA? Which clients are you talking about. Apologies for not being in the know about who you are.

Hi, sorry, yes I'm a TA. I give outgoing passenger cards to every client I book to go overseas. :)

Hi Finetuneit

 

Thank you for your reply. How do I contact you if I wish to make a booking through you? I know there are strict rules around mentioning agency details. But is there a way for me to contact you to make future bookings?

 

Thank you.

Do we need the green cards to board the cruise from Melbourne to NZ - never thought about that - I do have a stash here - but never give it a thought that we would need one - because we are on internal flights - don't know why I never give it a thought about boarding a cruise from Aus duh.....:o

Just make sure any old ones you may have collected from past travels etc.. , may be out of date...

they have a habit of changing them every now and then. We got caught out like that once and had to go back and fill out the new ones...:D:D

Just checked on the immigration web site for Aus and they show an example of the card - and the one's we have are current - this is the number at the bottom of the card that is current (just in case anyone does have old one's)

it only takes afew min,s to fill out and then what you have to stand line for an hour, so it gives you some thing to do while you wait that for most people that cruise.

 

P.S if you have a suite then prefilling out these forms helps as there is no waiting.

 

P.S. most good TA"s while send you all forms that are needed to board the ship

We do have some and fill them in at home, but what I am saying is the mess that it causes especially at Circular Quay, is stressful for a lot of people. They fill them in standing up or at the desk. If you were able to fill them in on line all the writing would be readable and clearly printed.. Just my thoughts!

Plus for us, we don't receive anything in the mail - our tickets are always 'E' tickets - and it's just nice to walk up and have everything ready. :) Then we can have plenty of time to panic if it isn't :eek: (only joking)
