Merrywench Posted July 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2023 We are 26 days from our cruise. When should we get our documents? Or do we do this all on line now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imescaping Posted July 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I don't remember when mine showed up but we are 4 days out and ours have been online for a while. In the online registration page, along the top there are links to the different parts of the registration process, (with green checks showing which portions are complete). the last link is docs, if there is a green check they are ready. I don't know if online delivery is something we chose somewhere along the way or if it is all that way now. Sorry, that's not super specific, I hope it helps at least a little.

Rare Hlitner Posted July 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2023 We are off for the Quest (in a few days) and our boarding pass was on our Source App about 2 weeks prior to embarkation. I believe it is all online now (we have not received snail mail on our last couple of cruises). You should put the Seabourn "Source" App on your phone and set it up. That App is somewhat useful both before and during the cruise (although we know quite a few SB regulars who resist using an app). Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB56 Posted July 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2023 We are travelling in November to Antarctica. When I log into my cruise on the Seabourn website and click on the ‘Docs’ tab, it says that my documents will be accessible 45 days before the cruise begins. I don’t think I was ever given an option to choose postal delivery. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrywench Posted July 20, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Thank you, TJ. We haven’t been back on SB since our 2020 cruise Dubai to Athens so the process is a bit daunting but now I think we got it. Paper tags. Better not put them on until we’re sure the airlines are finished manhandling the luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahogany Posted July 20, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2023 And then try and find some tape or a stapler! Dumb... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better not put them on until we’re sure the airlines are finished manhandling the luggage. I took the luggage tags with us and then waited until the day we were boarding the ship to attach them with the use of a stapler the hotel lent us. To be honest I only did my husbands as I couldn't find mine but when we got to the ship the staff attached a tag and wrote the suite number on it as we got to the port entry in Civitavecchia.

Merrywench Posted July 20, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Thank you for that update. We’re coming straight off the plane so I hope the SB greeter has a stabler. Otherwise we will follow your lead and get the ship to tag our luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imescaping Posted July 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I picked up a mini stapler at one of the big box stores with a “ mart” in the name. It was back to school time and I paid less than a dollar.(I think I have seen them at the dollar store also) But that was a few years ago. It’s quite small. I bought it specifically for cruise luggage tags. That and a roll of tear by hand tape stay in my carry on personal item even for non-cruise travel. Both have come in handy on multiple occasions.

arzz Posted July 21, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2023 In the past I have laminated my tags in advance with clear packing tape then punched holes at the ends. I bring baggie ties which are very easy to carry and then just tie them together onto the suitcase when they are needed. If you stay in a hotel the hotel desk usually has a stapler that you can borrow on your way out to staple them - but I have found the baggie tie method works very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLOU Posted July 21, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 21, 2023 We got some tape from our hotel but it wasn't necessary. Seabourn put on its own tag when we got to check in. I wouldn't stress about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLSD Posted July 22, 2023 #16 Share Posted July 22, 2023 No one even asked for documents when we boarded Ovation in Copenhagen. They asked to see our passports--and that is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2seabournsailors Posted July 23, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I was under the impression that Seabourn NOT sending us printed documents any longer was to save trees etc. etc. so for that reason I won’t print them either. They can just handle the Check In and luggage paperless. Don’t need to carry tape or stapler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobar Posted July 24, 2023 #19 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Not only do we miss the SB luggage tags, but these as well. Who doesn’t remember the excitement when they arrived in snail mail? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBP&O2/O Posted July 24, 2023 #20 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Spookily enough I have just had an email from my TA after I asked them the same question. They replied .... Seabourn no longer send out the final documents in the post, these are now all available online on the Seabourn Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who doesn’t remember the excitement when they arrived in snail mail? I love it. We had so many that we would discard the old ones when the new ones arrived, not ever imagining they would be replaced by emails. And now, no use for them, except to look at then with fond memories. Thank you for posting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look on Amazon and there are loads to choose from but they all say they are ok every cruise company under the sun but no mention of Seabourn. Do you think they are all suitable for every cruise company? Have sailed Seabourn and Celebrity in the past 12 months and don't remember thinking the paper tags were different in size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found suitable tags on ebay. No word of Seabourn but says they are suitable for Carnival etc so all good. Only £4.99 so might just about be able to buy a new tie also to go with my dinner suit😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
