How long before a cruise do you receive your information packet?

Question

I'm going on a carnival cruise May 4th. It's less then 3 weeks away...when should I expect my packet full of my travel information?

Answer 1

If you are leaving on May 4th and you do not have your travel documents yet, then yes, you should call your travel agent.

At this point, you will likely get e-tickets. You should be able to go to carnival.com and use your confirmation number to access your record. From there you can fill out your FunPass and also print e-tickets. I generally do all that for my clients.

As for your cabin assignment, it depends on how full the sailing is. You may have already been assigned a cabin, but you might not know until you get to the pier. Even if it is assigned as of now, since you have a guaranteed cabin, it is subject to change right up until you check in.

Have a great cruise!

Answer 2

You should receive docs 3 to 4 weeks before you leave. Some cruise lines let you print them out yourself. With Carnival you fill out a fun pass and you really don't even need your docs just take the fun pass and check in.
