But why wouldn't you renew it when it is so quick, simple, and cheap to do?

 

As a frequent international traveller I firmly believe one should never take chances that nothing unexpected will occur, and I always build in as much safety margin as I can on every trip.

 

A fair point.

Looks like they are on Marella Discovery from Port Canaveral to Miami, NOLA, Puerto Plata and Barbados.  EM

That's the one

As long as you don't return to the US at the end of the cruise, on your way home. But your flight is probably direct from Barbados, and not connecting in the US.

That's correct. I may end up renewing the ESTA the week before travel. Just seems like a waste if mine is valid though. 

Thanks - sounds like no need to reapply but so many people have said for us get new ESTAs 'just in case'. 

We're trying out our first cruise from Florida this year. Our ESTAs are valid till the 14th Nov 2023. We fly out 5th of Nov 2023.

It's a repositioned cruise where we fly back from Barbados. We're scheduled to leave the States (NOLA) on the 12th Nov 2023 for the Caribbean.

I wanted to check there was no need to extend or reapply for the ESTA for this trip?

Am I right in think as long as it's valid for entry we're okay?

Anything to watch out for? Itinerary changes / weather contingencies etc?
