FondofKoi Posted December 11, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2006 We are leaving on 1/14/07 on Freedom of the Seas. When should we expect our docs? Called our TA and he said 3-7 days prior. I have been on two others and have had them at least a month out. Does anybody else think 3-7 days is cutting it kindda close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madkitty Posted December 11, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2006 definitely a month before so I would say anyday now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted December 11, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Quick! Check your mail box - they may be waiting for you today! Seriously - you should be receiving them any day now as they are usually sent a month prior to the sail date. Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondofKoi Posted December 11, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted December 11, 2006 So Why am I being told 3-7 days prior????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pach Posted December 11, 2006 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2006 We are traveling on NOS on January 13 and rec'd our documents this past Saturday. I didn't book with a TA, we booked directly with RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjidog Posted December 11, 2006 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I heard from our TA that she's bringing them to us Thursday. I have the feeling that she had them last week, but our usual Thursday night out got canceled, so we didn't see her. By the way, we leave Jan 6th.

lewie272 Posted December 12, 2006 #7 Share Posted December 12, 2006 We are on 1/13 Voyager and have not received ours yet either. Travel agent is suppose to call when they are in. There is still plenty of time. I wouldn't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewie272 Posted December 12, 2006 #8 Share Posted December 12, 2006 We are on the 1/13 Voyager and still don't have docs. Travel agent said she would call when in. I wouldn't worry. Still plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted December 12, 2006 #9 Share Posted December 12, 2006 So Why am I being told 3-7 days prior????????????? Because your TA is less than fully competent? I can only speculate. Your docs should arrive between five and two weeks before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 12, 2006 #10 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Don't worry if you don't get them. Unless you've purchased hotel or transfers, you really don't need them! Have you printed out your setsail pass? If so, that (and your ID's) are all you need to board! If you HAVE transfers and such, call that TA and demand the vouchers ASAP!!!

FitzLA Posted December 12, 2006 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2006 We always receive ours about 30 days out. And by the way, even when you book with a TA, your TA has the option of having the docs sent directly to you or to them. I always have our TA make sure that the docs are sent directly to us. You should do the same in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkrosesdeb Posted December 12, 2006 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2006 We are on the 1/12 Brilliance cruise and our docs got here this afternoon, so we are dancing in florida! One of our cruises on Mariner, our docs didn't come until just before we sailed but they told us there would be no problem at the doc. However, we didn't need plane tickets. I am sure your docs will be there very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorie7 Posted December 15, 2006 #21 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Perhaps the TA is giving a worst case scenario. We have sailed RCI three times now and have never received our docs til a few days before. It does happen! I am so jealous of everyone doing their doc dance weeks ahaed of us! The up side is that they have never failed to arrive, the down side is picking them up the day before you travel is a pain. It's nice to have your docs earlier. I wouldn't worry, though. Even if they don't arrive, your TA should be able to get you copies of everything that you need. Your set sail pass and any transportation vouchers are all that you require really. I used to get upset when they didn't arrive in advance, but last time I just had copies of everything from the TA &/or internet anyway, so it didn't matter if the docs arrived or not Enjoy your cruise, Dorie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheltieLady Posted December 15, 2006 #22 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I know we can get luggage tags at the docks and I have our reservations numbers for our flights the only thing I need is the transfer voucher airport to hotel and hotel to port and the hotel voucher. Got my setsail pass printed my ta says she has been receiving documents about three weeks out which means next week they should be in. I just worry because it Christmas time and the mail is so bad this time of year. Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunu Posted December 15, 2006 #23 Share Posted December 15, 2006 What worries me the most is our plane tickets. We have flight info, but no tickets. are they E-tickets? ours are, but ours are also from my husbands frequent flyer miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
