Cruise Docs - When did you get them?

[TiggerKing]

Okay, I know this is a crazy question, and maybe it is an indication of just HOW BAD I need this vacation, but I was wondering how long before sailing did you receive your documents? I know it is normally about 2 weeks, but I wanted to hear stories of the extremes in both cases (2 days before or 2 months before).

Just a little fun question to pass the time!

We are going on the October 30 Halloween Magic. We got our docs a week ago, so I guess that is 30 days prior. It makes it all seem that much more real!

We are going on the Halloween cruise with Jamashp and we just got them. 3 weeks before we cruise!!!

We go on the October 16th sailing and I just got my documents yesterday....that waws only 8 days before I get on a plane to leave, I think they cut it too close.

We're on the October 24th Wonder and I was doing the document dance on Monday! We booked using our DVC points so we weren't sure if that would make a difference, but it appears it did not. We were glad as we leave home a few days before the cruise!

We're also on the Oct 24 Wonder (it's THE place to be, you know). My TA received my documents on Wednesday, and I'll have them by Friday. I've been limbering up for the document dance!

We are cruising Nov 6th too and also received our docs yesturday (along with my parents, inlaws,and sister) yippeeeee!!!

We cruised last Feb and got them about two weeks prior.

It was very frustrating, as people who were cruising later than us here were getting their docs earlier. We were on a four day, don't know if that made a difference, but it seemed like all of us here got our docs around the same time - no one here on that cruise was four weeks early.

On the other hand, although its exciting to get them, there wasn't much to them - particularly after this board I really didn't need to know expected dress or what to put in my daybag.

for the January 10 Eastern we got them beginning of December, so about 30 days in advance.

we are sailing on the October 23 Magic - just received our docs yesterday. I was starting to get a little nervous because we're leaving for WDW early on the morning of the 19th and I was reading posts here about people sailing after me who had already received their documents. I finally called DCL over the weekend to ask when they were going to be sent and thet were mailed on Friday of last week and showed up on Wednesday of this week.

I don't know if using our vacation club points had anything to do with the timing of the document mailing or not - I doubt it.

I agree with an earlier poster - there's not really much to them, although the mock suitcase they arrived in was kind of cute.

Apologies !
Edited to say I found the answer to my question !
