Do cruise documents come via certified mail?

[tracilicious]

We are on the 11/14 Wonder and this week the mailman left one of those cards in the box saying we had a piece of certified mail that we needed to sign for. The sender was listed as DRS. Could that be Disney Reservation Services? Dh will pick it up tomorrow afternoon, but I'm dying of curiosity. Anybody know?

We got ours today for our Nov. 13 Magic cruise. They were delivered via UPS. I was absolutely thrilled to see him!!!

in the past ours have come UPS or FEDEX

Did you book thru a TA or directly with DCL? If with a TA the return address will be your TA, not DCL. Not sure what DRS is.

We booked through DU for our May cruise and they docs came via UPS with DCL as the shipper.

I booked through a Travel Agent. I have no idea how they were sent to the Travel Agent, but she called me when they came in and I went over and picked them up.

That settles it...I'm calling my TA tomorrow. We leave on 11/7 and I've got nothing...NOTHING...yet. Poo!

Is it different if it's land/sea?

 

[ivanova]

not sure about land & sea ... if you book your air through DCL your docs won't come super early

 

[tvguy]

Seems to me they come about 2 weeks before your depature date, so you probabaly won't get yours for another week.

they tell you to expect them about 2 weeks before your cruise, but some people do receive them up to a month before their cruise. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with how fast DCL can make room assignments for anyone with GTY. Once rooms are assigned they might be able to mail out the docs. But that's just a guess on my part.
