michigan tim Posted March 3, 2011 #26 Share Posted March 3, 2011 A repeal of the 1920 Jones Act is about 80 years overdue. This is the stupid law that mandates foreign flagged ships departing from the US must call on at least one foreign port. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-tav Posted March 3, 2011 #27 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have the opposite problem. When the cruise ends, I don't want to get off at all! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embracedbylife Posted March 3, 2011 #28 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We disembarked a day early on our Baltic Cruise that was return from Copenhagen. We disembarked in Norway instead but we had to get this approved PRIOR to the cruise. A request was sent to a special department at princess and they sent the request to the ship and after the ship had it approved they wrote us back to confirm our request. It's an immigration/customs issue also, so you have to get this approved before hand. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted March 3, 2011 #29 Share Posted March 3, 2011 A repeal of the 1920 Jones Act is about 80 years overdue. This is the stupid law that mandates foreign flagged ships departing from the US must call on at least one foreign port. :confused:Since today, the PVSA primarily protects US airlines with the effect on cruise ships minor in comparison, don't expect a repeal any time soon. Unless, of course, you want to see government-funded foreign airlines flying routes in the US and competing with independent airlines. The Jones Act has to do with cabotage; repealing it wouldn't affect cruise ships since the PVSA would still be on the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
