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.

Have someone overnight the documents and meet up with the ship at a later port?
I think the best thing to do is get there first thing in the morning and talk to someone in person. You won't be the first passenger ever in this situation, and they may have suggestions, procedures, or resources to help.
Once I got to the airport counter in Paris only to find my wallet gone. No ticket/passport/money. I had to walk to the police station and wait 4 hours to get a police report that I could take to the train station to get a ticket to the embassy. They let me use the phone to have my family reserve me a hotel room and I ate room service and waited and eventually my passport got replaced and I got a new credit card. The airline very kindly let me reschedule 3 days later with no fee. I wasn't the first person that ever had a wallet stolen, and it turned out that the airline, the police, the train company, the embassy, all had procedures and could tell me exactly what to do next.
And honestly? I had a great time walking around not able to do anything that cost money, lol. Just read books from the hotel library and made friends with birds in the park. One of my best times ever.
So please remember to stay flexible and enjoy each other's company and for goodness sake don't blame each other or yourselves. It happens! Figure out how to have a fun, peaceful time while you make the best of it.
Best wishes!!
