E-Documents or E-Docs are issued typically 30-days prior to sailing to let you know the summary of your cruise if you have done your online check-in. You can view this on your account on the cruise line's website or on the cruise line's App.
Boarding passes are issued much closer to sailing about 7-days and a barcode is present for the cruise representative to scan at the pier to check you in. You can go online to print the boarding pass or will be on your App as well.
Keep in mind that E-Docs and boarding passes will not issue if you do not have your pre-registration done.
TRAVEL TIP: Due to the current flight cancellations and staff shortages, plan an alternate plan to include possible hotel stays, E-Reader to keep boredom at bay, and some snacks. The insurance company also has a 24-hour emergency travel concierge to help you especially if you are having trouble with your lost passports. Flights in the morning will reduce your chances of being delayed and always sign up for flight notifications.
