After you check-in' date=' you make sure you leave the passport book in your safe. Unless otherwise specified, you don't need the passport at port. Should there be an unexpected emergency, the cruise line will only check the safe for the passport book.

 

What I do is scan the information page of my passport and put it on a personal cloud-storage drive which I can access from my mobile phone. That way, should anything happen, it makes it easy to generate a new passport.

 

I just carry my driver's license and my passport card when on shore.[/quote']

 

 

 

There is a passport app ( mobile pass), for US travelers, that is approved by immigration for loop cruises entry & departure etc.

When disembarking at end of cruise you see lines for mobile passports, this is the app to use. American Embassy can use this if you find yourself in a pickle.

Still take pp card or book with you on trip. Better safe than sorry.

Legend of the Seas - Feb 2, 2008 (our last day cruising)

A 350+ lb Russian Man decided to join me, my husband, another couple and 2 pre-teen girls in the hot tub. He sat right at the entrance of the hot tub and wouldn't move. None of us could get out. He sprawled himself out and started splashing water at all of us. Several people from his group came and tried to talk to him but left in frustration. It took 4 attendants to drag him out kicking and cussing at the top of his lungs in Russian and when the finally got him out of the hot tub it took another 5 or 6 attendants to subue him. The 2 girls were in tears and scared to death.

Funny story to tell now but awful when it happened. I hope they threw him overboard! :mad:

Kermitt's: Yes!!!!

the best in Key West

Savannah says "Hey Ya'll" !:D

From the ship, the souvenir glasses from the drink of the day and the ceramic ships, we also collect magnets. But my favourite souvenir of all time is the T-shirt and bolt of fabric from St. Kitts. When the woman at the Batik factory found out my name really was Kitt and that I love to sew, she gave me a bolt of beautiful turquoise batik and a T-shirt that simply reads St. Kitts Batik.
