Cruise Documents

[MalNZ]

I thought I had previously asked this question, but can not now find it and I have had no replies, so thought I would try again.

 

We have been informed by our TA that we would be receiving our cruise documents 3 weeks prior to the ships departure, but this will no good for us as we are leaving New Zealand five weeks prior to our Alaskian Cruise.

 

Has anyone been able to get an early delivery of cruise documents?

 

Thanks for you help

Just ask your TA...give them the address of where you will be and they can send them to you if the cruiseline does not have them ready when you need them.

Since we do all our own hotels and airflights, we get our documents usually about 8 weeks before the cruise.

Thanks for your replies.

We are also doing our own travel arrangements, and will not be staying too long at each place, so another address may not work.

 

It is good to hear that the documents can be sent 8 weeks in advance, so that is the way we will go.

Have your TA call HAL and request that they be sent the minute you have made your final down payment.

Since you said you make all of your other arrangements, this shouldn't be a problem even if you don't get your documents before you leave. You really don't need them! (except to do the document dance, of course. ;))

If you complete the on-line check-in form, and print out the boarding passes, that will be enough to get you on the ship.

The only time the documents are necessary is when you have hotel or transfer vouchers in the packet. Those may be collected by the vendors to generate their payments.

Don't worry, and have a good time.
