What Paperwork Do You Take With You?

No one has mentioned copies of OBC confirmations from CC or other sures.

When I called RCI to confirm that we had the $100 OBC on our account they assured me that we did but when looking online for something to print out as proof it doesn't show! Any thoughts?

I called last Friday to confirm that my RCCL Visa points(which I had redeemed back in December) had been applied to the cruise I am taking this Friday. The girl said yes, but when I asked for an updated invoice to show as proof, she said my TA had to request it. So, if you booked through a TA, they must request it. If you called and booked it yourself, you can request it. From what I have read on CC before, you can only get it online if you booked online. It can be emailed to you as a pdf file, so if youre cruise is coming up soon, you don't have to worry about slow mail.

Thanks! I booked through RCI on the phone during the WOW sale. I will call them again and have them email it to me.

I take the same stuff and I always put them in chronological order. After each event occurs I throw the paper away. If all goes according to plan I return home with an empty folder:)

You're welcome. You shouldn't have any problems. My case was a little different. When I initially made the reservation a few months ago, I had called RCI myself because I saw a great price drop, but it was the weekend and my TA wasn't open. I didn't want to risk losing the rate (or the great locations of the rooms I was booking), so I put a hold on the rooms. When I went to the TA to have her complete the booking, the RCI rep refused to talk to her and insisted that I be the one to complete the booking. Anyway, by the time I got home a little later, I had been emailed a copy of the invoice for each of the rooms that I booked. We had the reservation officially transferred to the TA, and now that I actually want an updated invoice I can't request it myself. It's kind of ironic...or maybe not. I know, my story was a little long, but I am in a "cruising"/"talking about cruising" mood today!:p

I'll also be taking the public health form filled out for each in my party.

Is this the same exact one they hand you at the pier? Does RCI accept it if you have this one already filled out?

This is what I have been told repeatedly on these boards. I'll know for sure in a few weeks. Also, I am pretty sure somewhere is the waiver for children to be able to do the rock climbing wall.

I also take copies of my rental car reservations (or shuttles to/from airport); any hotel reservations; any groupon excursions for the port (believe it or not I monitored those type of deals for months for FLL) also putting it in chronological order.

Exactly! I take actual passport off the ship with me but leave a copy in the safe. Have seen people try and get back on with a copy when they ask for ID along with SeaPass. It isn't a very smooth enterance back on.

 

 

So when we re-board the ship we have to have our passports too? I was just going to take a copy in case something happened and we couldn't get back to the ship. I never thought that I would have to show the passport to get back on the ship. Thanks for letting me know.

Maybe I will print out a couple of copies and fill them out. I know the form isn't long, but it's one less thing to have to stabd there and fill out when we get to the port.
