Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted March 14, 2008 #26 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Does anyone have a picture of their HAL doc folder (luggage tags as well)? I'd love to see what they look like!! I am also very excited about getting the clutch and would love to see a picture of it if anyone has one. It will be so much more fun to do the doc dance with real documents. No fun to do it with a piece of paper printed from cruiseline website.:rolleyes: I found these pictures from posts when they first came out October 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda90 Posted March 14, 2008 #27 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I found these pictures from posts when they first came out October 2006 Thank you so much for posting this. It's really a very nice looking document holder. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobiemom Posted March 14, 2008 #28 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Roz! Congrats on the docs. I'm still waiting to get ours. I can't wait to see you, Morey, and Brenda on the "O!" This time I'm sailing with a co-worker and her aunt. Marcia (from the Golden Princess last November) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted March 14, 2008 #29 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have been on 5 HAL cruises, and except for first in 2001, I have received nothing more than edocs since. Is it because I purchase online, rather than go to a travel agency? My last voyage (on Cunard in January) was purchased from an online agency and they sent me a beautiful doc wallet.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our brick-and-mortar local TA asks us to pick them up at his office, but it's only a couple of miles away. I'd say if you really want the doc wallet, change TA's. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising Illini Posted March 14, 2008 #33 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Oceania and Crystal have gorgeous leather type document folders -- the HAL fabric is more feminine but the others are similar to passport holders that are sold at travel agencies like Magellans. Since we sail HAL about 3x a year I have quite a collection and some are the simulated leather. All are very high quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avril Posted March 14, 2008 #34 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I found these pictures from posts when they first came out October 2006 WOW!! :eek: Those are beautiful (if docs can be beautiful). :D Those are so much nicer than the heavy dark blue paper folders that we get on Carnival. Do you have to be in a suite to get one of those? We're in a category VF (Deluxe Verandah Outside cabin number VF5064) so we got a balcony but it's not a suite. I can't wait to do the doc dance with something like that!! :D We sail December 27th, 2008 so when should we expect our docs (we booked directly through HAL if that makes a difference)? ms Eurodam, here we come!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known people to make their final payment something 3 or 4 months prior to the cruise and they have received their documents about 3 weeks after they paid. YES I have heard where booking directly thru HAL you do get you documents a bit earlier due to being no middle man:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone gets these document holders ... unless you booked with a TA that is too cheap to forward them to you. :( For the last few cruises we've gotten our docs 6 to 7 weeks before cruising. IIRC the one time we booked direct with HAL it was more like 8 weeks. (No HAL air involved in any.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic The Parrot Posted March 15, 2008 #38 Share Posted March 15, 2008 So HAL is doing "paperless" embarkation as well, huh ... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted March 15, 2008 #39 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Just the print out from the online check in was all they were collecting. Next time, I will keep the blue folder in my carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
