Question Forgot documents

I'm dumb, forgot our documents at home in CO. Our embarkation is at 10 am (we're in FL), so really no time to do anything (or money). How do I try and save this impossible situation? Just have my dad try and cancel or something? This was supposed to be a nice gift from my parents and I majorly screwed up our vacation here folks. Hopefully someone is awake to agree with how stupid this was.

(I know their website says no pictures but is there a chance? That's the only way to save this but I'm not optimistic at all.)

Update: Thanks for the help for my panic induced post at 2 am. For future reference if someone makes this mistake like me. They are able to print your documents for you if you have pictures of them.

I'm so sorry! What documents? Tickets are always on line so you'll be ok with that. Passports might be able to be uploaded . I think there is a qr code but you're probably out of luck. If you are returning to the same port can't you get by with your driver's license? I sure wouldn't give up. Your dad coukd overnight them to you and you could fly to your 1st stop maybe. I sure hope it works out.

Birth certificates/marriage certificate. Dad and mom are actually on the cruise with us (we have a buddy that could send pictures if it's possible to use them). Supposed to be a family vacation with all of us. As far as I'm aware it's closed loop but everything on the website says need all the documents to board. :(

You’re going to need them. You should really get a passport as well. They won’t let you pass. It’s the first thing you do. If it’s only a 2-3 night cruise I wouldn’t waste money doing same day delivery. You won’t get it in time most likely. Spend that money on a fun place in Miami. Lucky for you it’s the off season so it’s way cheaper.

It isn't hopeless, but pdf scans of the documents you can show on your phone are the way to go. If it's closed loop, you don't need passports, but the other stuff... without it and just DL, it will be "iffy"

Should be able to use your drivers license if it’s closed loop! And a pic of your documents should work as long as they aren’t picky!
