dln929 Posted February 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Just make sure your passport doesn't expire within three months of your trip. If it does, you'll need to get a new one before you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffie Posted February 25, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Just make sure your passport doesn't expire within three months of your trip. If it does, you'll need to get a new one before you go! I don't think that is true for US closed loop cruises since we don't need to have a passport in the first place. I think that only applies to going to countries where that is their rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that only applies to going to countries where that is their rule. Correct...and the poster also had the expiration time wrong. In most cases if you're required to have a passport that has a particular number of months validity remaining, it is 6 months, not three. (but in fairness, the OP didn't specify what type of cruise he/she was taking, so we can't be sure it was a closed loop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcook Posted February 26, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 26, 2011 And to clarify, you would not be taking a copy of your BC, you would have to bring the real deal. And to clarify the semantics, a *certified* copy of your birth certificate *is* the real deal. That's what most people have, a government issued certified copy. But a photocopy of the certified copy is not permissible as a cruise document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
