kchiumento Posted January 10, 2016 #52 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Here's what I know from firsthand experience. Talk to the people early when you get there, port authority, NCL, whoever. Two years ago on the NCL jewel out of NOLA, my brother accidentally checked his luggage that had his and his family's passports/birth certificate. We told port authority and everyone 5 minutes after it happened. Unfortunately for us, they never found it before sailing (it was found 15 minutes after we set sail but it was too late), so they didn't make it on the ship. However, they were willing to let them on if they found it by the time they pulled the gate away. So he does need it, but the 2:00 deadline is flexible. Good luck!!! OMG. I was on that cruise in October 2013! Your brother was going with his son and wife. We met them in one of the bars (karaoke bar) and they told us all about it. Not to hijack the thread, but yeah. That was devastating just hearing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc1012 Posted January 10, 2016 #53 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I went to check in at the NYC port. Realized I brought my husbands passport, not mine. They would not accept a fax. My husband hopped in his truck to take the 3+ hour drive from home to NYC. He pulled up the same second they were pulling the walkways! They put them back in place for my children and I to get on. We boarded at 330. Sail away was 4. Good luck tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredithe Posted January 10, 2016 #54 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Our friends are in a similar situation here on NOLA tonight, except, his and his daughters passports were stolen. He flew back to California today to get birth certificates from the safe, and we are crossing our fingers that he makes it back before tomorrow afternoon with them.

cardbucfan Posted January 10, 2016 #55 Share Posted January 10, 2016 OP, I'm stressed just reading this, can't imagine how you guys feel! I'm sitting here in Tampa with my doors open so at least you've got good weather for the plane here. Please come back and let us know how it works! The good thing is the airport is so easy to navigate and it's super easy to get to the port. I'd just grab a cab too and be done with it. Good luck!

PyrHeaven Posted January 10, 2016 #56 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Delta flight should arrive at 10:56am. It is in the air and on the way. Whew!!! I think this is all going to work out for you with time to spare. :) Of course, can't relax until you physically see your DH on the cruise, but the chances of that keep getting better and better. I've got everything crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwanderer Posted January 10, 2016 #58 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Meredithe- where were they stolen? We are going out of NOLA in 20 days and that makes me nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathubia Posted January 10, 2016 #59 Share Posted January 10, 2016 After reading these different scenarios, I am going to bring all of our stamped birth certificates with us and keep them in a separate place. I am crossing everything and praying that it arrives on time!! Please let us know!! Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertziek Posted January 10, 2016 #60 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Out of habit we have two things we check as we leave our driveway when we vacation - one, do we have our passports and any travel documents required usually handled by me and kept in my purse or carry on (and readily accessible to check if they are there) and two, do we have our bags (I keep track of how many should be in the car) but I can see how this can happen. Sorry you are having such a hassle but definitely let us know what happens. Hope you all get on the ship together. I am always amazed at the good advice and information you can get here on CC and it appears posters have come to the rescue again with helpful suggestions.

riddle Posted January 10, 2016 #61 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I had an a friend of a friend who was flying into Miami from Ohio with mom, dad and 5 kids. Mom took the folder where the passports were out during the flight and slipped them into the seat pocket...then forgot about them. This was the day before the cruise. They did not think about the folder till they were leaving for the port the next day when they realized what had happened. No passports, documents, anything. They called the airlines who had no sign of the envelope and of course since it was the date of departure no other options. They spent the week in Florida. Without saying, everyone was extremely upset and kids were besides themselves as I believe this was their first cruise and they had been saving for it for a long time. I do believe insurance picked up their cruise expenses but it had to be horrendous nonetheless. Good luck to you. Delta Dash saved my b*** at work when packages had to be shipped last minute and they were not ready to go the regular ways. Please keep us informed.
