US ESTA application - address while in US????

[bazzaw]

Don't you just love these kind of Catch 22 situations??

 

The online application form for a US ESTA asks you for your address in the US - and has specific spaces for you to fill in Street, City, State , etc.

 

Of course, my address will be C/O P&O Arcadia , dock Number ????, San Francisco and Hawaii.

 

What have other cruisers done to fill this form out??

 

Thanks

I filled out an ESTA because we may re-fuel in the US on the way back from Acapulco. I rang P & O and was told to just type in 'In Transit' instead of an address. I sure you will be fine if you put this. I got authorisation straight away on line and just printed it off.

If you are transfering straight from the flight to the ship, then put 'In Transit'. If you are staying overnight in a hotel before hand then put the hotels address.

As we were visitng a number of US ports we were told to insert the name of the ship e.g.MV Arcadia.

Not a required field when we did ours on line. So we left it blank. No problems.

From the US GOV Homeland. So i'd put MV <ship name> and the first port of call.

 

It's valid for 2 years so it's only the first night entry required.

 

What information do I need at check-in?

Not a required field on .... https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.html?_flowExecutionKey=_cDA86959C-C31F-06D8-F43D-31056C9C8B38_k796C08DD-BF30-7168-9A23-BD490DF6E6C4

 

All very simple. Name. Address. DOB. Insurance details. Passport Number

Took about 10 minutes then 6 pages to print off. Under half an hour and both of us done :D
