Cruise is tomorrow 2/18 - need help super fast!

[mnventure]

We just flew into Orlando and took transportation to our hotel near Port Canaveral. Got to the hotel, and my MIL realized she didn't have her purse and it wasn't in the van. Her and my husband are on their way back to MCO to see if they can find it.

 

If they can't find it, it means she doesn't have photo ID or her passport.

 

 

What, if anything, can we do to get her on the Epic tomorrow?

You should probably call NCL direct. Probably won't be able to get on the ship without a passport or birth certificate. If she has a BC maybe someone from home can over night it? Good luck.

Im sure youve thought of this already, but call the airline .....they go thru the plane b4 loading up again, and may have found it. Other then that, maybe call NCL? Hope she finds it!

Very sorry to hear about your situation and hope she is able to find her purse. It is highly unlikely that she will be allowed to board without proper ID. Below is from the NCL website regarding Identification requirements. I would call them to see if they have any additional recommendations for you. Fingers crossed for you and your family!!

Now go to the casino on the first night before your luck wears off.

[jaja]

So VERY happy it worked out !!!! Have a great cruise!!!

[JC5240]

So happy to hear that they found it! My heart sank briefly for your situation.

 

Have a fantastic cruise!

Knowing how obsessed women are with their purses, I am still trying to figure out how your MIL got into a car and drove all the way to a Port Canaveral hotel without checking for her purse even once! What is it, about a 2 hour trip? I am constantly double checking the location of my purse when traveling, especially when it contains more $ than usual plus a passport. She must be really laid back.:cool:

 

Glad it all worked out.

[LouChamp]

Have a fabulous vacation!

 

 

56 Cruises and Counting! Bon Voyage to my fellow CC's and smooth sailing.

Planning a vacay is almost as much fun as the vacay itself!!!

That was lucky. Ride that luck to the Casino, LOL. Have a great cruise.

I wish you and your family a good cruise.

I would like to offer some practical advice which may help with documents while traveling.

I take a copy of my passport, driver's license, and credit cards. These copies are put in a separate place other than my purse.

I do this in case I ever need to replace any of these things while traveling.

I am not certain that such copies would get me on a ship,plane or through customs,but they could serve as some kind of proof of my citizenship and residency.

On another note, I am a sixty - something person.

I can misplace or forget things. So, I think I can say this in a gentle way- you may need to keep a watchful eye on your MIL so that something like this instance does not happen again on your vacation.

Doing this is an act of kindness for her and not something that would cause her dismay.

Bon voyage !

I put my money and passport in a money belt before going to the airport. In my purse, I have only things that I could live without (headphones, umbrella, small wallet with some small bills, etc )
