Documents
On
Monday, December 11, I received a phone call from my travel agency saying that my
cruise documents were being sent by FedEx and should arrive on Wednesday. Just at the stroke of noon on Wednesday, the
FedEx man delivered them.
In
the HAL vs. Cunard comparison, HAL definitely wins on presentation. Cunard’s documents came in a large bound booklet
with the luggage labels in the back – too large to take with me. HAL’s comes in a reusable travel wallet and is
the right size for packing.
In
the packet was a mix of notices from HAL and from my travel agency, including…
- A note from my travel agent
- A spiral bound book with information about the cruise and luggage tags
- Information about arrival in Fort Lauderdale (where I will be picked up and taken to the hotel)
- Information about the cocktail party and dinner the night before the cruise sponsored by the travel agency
- Phone numbers and addresses to leave for family members at home
- A booklet entitled "What you need to know before you go"
- And, most important, my boarding pass
When
I first pre-booked this cruise it was 85 weeks away and now there are less than
three weeks to sail-away!
Smooth sailing until next time!
Hi Kathi
ReplyDeleteI've been reading the world cruise sub forum on CC and came across your blog. I'm following :)
It looks like you have a good travel agent. I know CC doesn't allow posting TA names, but can you post it here? Thanks!
No problem. I am using Cruise Specialists out of Seattle, Washington. I had had one TA recommended to me but she moved before I could use her so I asked around on my cruise last year and was given Sharon Whiting's name. She has been great with answering my questions, getting changes made, etc. and I have already booked another cruise through her. Phone number is (800) 544-2469 and a real person answers the phone!
