Passport Requirements for Cruises

Always check the US Government web site for the latest requirements.  Most cruise lines also post information if there are any changes.  If you don't have a passport you should apply for one as soon as possible.  Then schedule your cruise.  Having a passport will allow you to book your cruise with little notice and you may be able to get some great last minute bargains. 

Effective December 31, 2006 the U.S. Government's Intelligence Reform Bill requires passports for all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Bermuda.

What this means to you:

On or after December 31, 2006,  you will be required to present a valid passport during ship boarding check-in formalities.

bulletGuests sailing on or after December 31, 2006 will be required to present a valid passport during ship check-in. 
bulletGuests not holding a valid passport should apply for one as soon as possible.
bulletGuests holding ARC/Green Card are exempt.

For information on obtaining or renewing a passport, visit the State Department's Website. 

U.S. passports are valid for ten years, so the initial cost averages out over subsequent vacations - especially if you cruise frequently.
