When do docs arrive

[bigelow]

My cruise sails in 88 days and is payed in full. How soon will I recieve my docs.:)

[tcs1366]

I leave in 24 ... i still don't have mine either.

You may not recieve hard copies. I was informed that I would be receiving our via email in July. You may want to check. The majority of the cruise lines are going electronic.

Carnival says that they mail them out about 2 weeks before you sail.

If you choose edocs you can access them any time after final payment. If you choose paper they are usually prepared and mailed about 30 days prior to sailing.

Oops...double post!

You should go to Carnival.com. Most of the "doc's" these days are actually "e-docs"...available online.

I went to that "Doc" page, and it says,

Preference - electronic

and

Your Fun Ship Cruise Departs in 24 Days.

Guests will receive Paper documents via mail.(MessageID:1206)

But i can't find anywhere to VIEW any documents, with the exception of what is in that first page.

I called Carnival about something else, but I did ask them about the documents as my travel agent had said they didn't send them anymore and I would need to do the edocs. Anyway, the Carnival rep said that as long as you don't go into edocs online, they will be mailed out to you approx 2 weeks prior to your sailing!!

Did you book directly with Carnval or through a TA??

I had that same message on my reservation at the CCL site, within a week of seeing that message, my docs were in the mail. Won't be long before you get them now! You can go ahead and click the view button on that first page, they'll come up.

You should see:

The view box is to the side of the names. Click on it and you'll see them, but you will still get them in the mail, and if you used a TA, the TA will receive them in the mail and call you when they come in for you to pick up.:)

Uggggg... since i'm a FireFox user, things just never work for me.... so the light bulb finally went off and I pulled up the page in IE, and shazzam -- i see my documents.

 

Now i just hope these messages post... as it's just spinning and spinning.....

Thanks -- I'll go double check that now. Every time I clicked anything on that page, it just sort of 'refreshed' and did not shop anything new.

 

and yes i went thru a TA, but she better mail them as I'm not driving an hour to pick them up.

 

**amazing -- i sent this post first, about 10 min before the one above.

 

I was able to print my Edocs, though i noticed my dining time is off.

 

Remember, if you have having problems locating yours... make sure you use IE not FireFox as your browser.

Sometimes it appears just to be refreshing, but you might notice along the bottom of your screen a second window is open, and you can see the docs there. If you have Vista, it will be along the top. EM

just got ours yesterday...yeah....doc dance......loved seeing the blue envelope...22 days to go

[funatsea01]

I'm sailing on the Victory on the 24th, I just picked mine up yesterday from my travel agent. YEA!

[tcs1366]

Sheri -- thanks for posting that you got yours. since we are sailing on the same cruise, we should be getting ours too, soon.

 

i do have an email into my TA, so maybe she will fill me in on when they are being mailed out.

 

I would have thought that if/when a TA knows it's your first cruise, they would be offering you more information ... but I have to call or email with every little question i have.... or come here and ask.
