amsred2 Posted October 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2016 My printer is out of ink. I am hoping to get to Walmart for some more but often my old printer is difficult to find refils for...not to mention I am super busy the next two days before leaving and just might not get to it. What happens if I show up without my boarding passes printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgb46 Posted October 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2016 If you have a smart phone or tablet you can present open cruise manager and pull up the boarding pass and they will accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted October 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2016 If you have an iPhone... Get to the documents page and download them to iBooks. (Could also take screen shots of each page on your phone) Porters will have luggage tags. One time Carnival emailed a PDF of our documents. If you cannot access them in any way, bring your confirmation sheet with all the pax names on it. No idea what would happen if you were priority or had a specific staggered check in slot.

BoDidly Posted October 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I'm thinking squid . Buying ink / cheaper options are buying a new printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPERBKWRITER Posted October 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2016 This is just my opinion BUT not everyone is tech savy especially seniors. SO show up, with proper ID and a credit card and they will do the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea4ular Posted October 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2016 This is just my opinion BUT not everyone is tech savy especially seniors. SO show up, with proper ID and a credit card and they will do the rest. I believe this. There are all sorts of folks that travel and don't have access to electronic devices for whatever reason. Just take care that the documentation (ID, etc) has the same name as what was done for the reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pralinequeen Posted October 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 14, 2016 This just happened with my sister and friend that I was traveling with at Port Canaveral. When we got to the terminal and they noticed that they did not have their boarding passes, so they tried to pull it up on their phones. It would not let them sign in. So when we got to the door, they just show ID and entered. When they got to the counter it was no problem since they had completed everything online. Just showed the proper ID and onto the ship they went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purvis1231 Posted October 14, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) On one cruise my boarding passes blew out of my hands as we walked up to the doors, we did not have any problems. We just showed them our passports. Edited October 14, 2016 by Purvis1231 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Ellen1 Posted October 14, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Go to the port; dive into the water; scale the ship wall like spiderman to your balcony ---> works every time :D How 'bout this? Make friends with the harbor pilot, bring him some donuts, and ride out to the ship with him. Climb the little rope ladder to Deck 0 and -- poof! -- you're on the ship. That would work too, right? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted October 14, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 14, 2016 where you are sailing out of?..usually the terminal has some kind of customer service desk where they can look up your booking info and print a boarding pass thats needed for check in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggielover68 Posted October 14, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just do the online check in without printing it. Write down your booking number. Show up with ID and your booking number and you should have no issues Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Hopping Posted October 14, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Make sure your luggage has tags. You can get them from the porters and attach them as you drop the luggage off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted October 15, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I agree that you can go to the port and manage without printing your docs but does NO one on here have friends or relatives with a printer???? I don't have a printer but I have good neighbors who help me out all the time! We are good neighbors to them in other ways so they never mind printing stuff for me.

We are good neighbors to them in other ways so they never mind printing stuff for me. Nope, have no relationship with my neighbors. One is totally bat$#!T crazy and I will get sucked into a wormhole if I go to her house. On the other side, they are super religious and while good for them for being so devout, I don't want a three hour lecture on being saved and how going on a cruise would be like taking a hedonist voyage to the underworld.

Bob NC Posted October 15, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just show up with a name and an ID and you are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazil65 Posted October 15, 2016 #24 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Your local library should have computers you can use and print from or a Fedex business store. Also, if you can print from your place of employment you can do that or go to a relatives home to use their computer and printer. Most hotels have business centers so if you are spending the night before you leave just print at hotel.

coevan Posted October 15, 2016 #25 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Buy a new printer. I just did this last week. I had an old HP with no Airprint. The ink for the old HP was $59. I bought a new Epsom for $69, it's great, with Airprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
