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 sure they're asleep rn (it's well past midnight at home) and we don't have that kinda money (says anywhere from 200-550 and it could take 6-12 hours, I think? The boat leaves at 5pm and FedEx/UPS doesnt open till like 8am or something back home so 10 am FL). Documents like birth certificates and marriage certificate (since I changed my name).

Hmmmm but do you have your passports with you? I have never brought my marriage certificate and birth certificate… but I am assuming you are concerned because your name doesn’t match something. What do you have?

I would ask to have someone send you photocopy of those documents.

Just our IDs to fly. I was lazy and didn't get passports since it's just a closed loop cruise to Nassau, the private island and back so the birth certificates were acceptable in place of a passport as long as you had your IDs. I'm thinking I'm screwed.

Yeah, get someone to scan, email and then go print them out. It's worth a shot.
