Beginning with cruise departures of August 25, 2009 and beyond, Carnival will discontinue the mailed paper version of the cruise travel documents. All guests on sailings from this date forward will need to use Carnival’s MyDocuments portal to print electronic cruise documents.
Of course, If you do not have a computer, not to worry, Texas Cruise Company will print your documents out for you and get them to you or you can just check in at the pier. You WILL get on board your favorite cruise. Just ask us if any of this is confusing. Yep, it’s a brave new world out there where computers are king.
Since the vast majority of our guests already use E-docs, it may not be much of a problem at all. As an added convenience for our guests as we said, we will print the electronic cruise documents for you at anytime once the booking is paid in full. Or, you can do it yourself by simply going to the MyDocuments portal (accessible at www.carnival.com/mydocuments). This feature will also provides guests with on-demand access to their Carnival booking, enabling you to print boarding passes, the terms and conditions of the cruise ticket contract, luggage tags, and other pertinent information regarding their “Fun Ship” cruise from any Internet-connected computer. 
This “paperless” system provides guests with many conveniences and offers the same travel documentation and information typically available with traditional cruise documents. Housed within a secure, easy-to-navigate Internet portal accessible on a “24/7” basis, the electronic document system operates in “real time” which ensures that all last-minute changes are reflected.
No more waiting for documents in the mail.
In addition to the peace-of-mind created by eliminating the wait for cruise documents to be delivered by mail, this initiative has a positive impact on the environment. Please be advised that the migration to an entirely eDocument format applies to both individual and group reservations.
Additional details are below:
August 3 is the last day that paper documents can be ordered for sailings prior to August 25, 2009. Cruise documents, which include the terms and conditions of the cruise ticket contract, may be accessed online after full payment is received and will require the following information; booking number, last name of the guest, ship and sail date.
Although having printed e-documents will expedite the check-in process during embarkation, guests may check in at the pier without documents as their information is contained within Carnival’s reservation system.
Electronic documents include printable luggage tags that may be printed in black and white on plain or maybe heavier weight paper and taped or stapled together on your luggage handles. If they are not printed, luggage tags are still available at the pier.
