What are Pier Pick-Up Documents?
If your cruise was booked too close to departure to print paper tickets and send via regular mail, cruise lines may opt to issue Pier Pick-Up Docs. In this case, there are no tickets issued, whether on paper or electronically, and you will simply show your I.D. and Proof of Citizenship to any clerk at the terminal, advise them that you have Pier Pick-Up Docs and will direct you where to pick up your tickets.
