When do we get our DOCS?

[FondofKoi]

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?

[Madkitty]

definitely a month before so I would say anyday now :D

[ckrobyn]

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! :)

So Why am I being told 3-7 days prior?????????????

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.

[benjidog]

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.

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.

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.

Because your TA is less than fully competent? I can only speculate.

 

Your docs should arrive between five and two weeks before sailing.

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]

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.

Leaving Jan. 6 on Navigator and we received our docs today.:)

[EggDropErin]

We are on the sailing right before yours on Freedom, 01/07/07, and we received ours exactly a week ago from today. :D

[FondofKoi]

What worries me the most is our plane tickets. We have flight info, but no tickets.

[SheltieLady]

We are sailing 1/13 Jewel and we are waiting for our tickets.

I am leaving to January 14, 2007 and did not receive yet my documents.

They told me that i should recieve 10 days before my cruise.

[lewie272]

Update... I got my docs today for my 1/13 sailing. They were sent to to the travel agent today and I went to pick them up. You should get yours anyday!

[pinkrosesdeb]

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.

[Carmic]

Got our docs today for our Jan. 20, 2007 sailing on the Serenade of the Seas.

Did you get your docs yet?

[Dorie7]

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,

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.

What worries me the most is our plane tickets. We have flight info, but no tickets.
