There is a chance our tickets won't arrive in time for a Princess
cruise in early January (from Rio).
Just wondering whether in these computerised days that would be very
serious? The immigration details have been done online and we have ID,
passports, etc.

I don't have experience with this, but have read on more than one
occasion that the cruise docs aren't necessary. As long as your names
are on the manifest and you show up with proper ID (passport; birth
certificate/drivers license) you'll be allowed to board the ship.

I'd call Princess and make sure you're scheduled to be on the cruise,
then show up with the proper ID...and don't give the missing docs a
second thought.
