You won’t receive traditional "tickets" for a cruise—instead, you’ll receive electronic cruise documents (often called eDocs or a boarding pass) once your booking is finalized with full payment applied and check-in is completed online.
📱 How Will You Receive Them?

Via Email: A link will be sent to download your boarding pass and luggage tags

-
Boarding pass (printable or digital)

Luggage tags (to print and attach before arrival)

🎒 Printed boarding passes and luggage tags are often required at the cruise terminal for check-in.
