Caution! New regulations dealing with cruising with a Green Card!

[SuzieQ123]

What's the new rule starting 12/22/11? I've searched the immigration pages and called us immigration as my husband has a non expiring green card and been told once again that his card is perfectly valid for travel

I forgot. OP friend had no passport. Different issue. Ignore my other post

Thanks for the update, Grady. So to be clear, the problem here was that your friend was traveling with an older version green card? Once he updates it, he can travel as normal, correct?

 

I still don't see how he was allowed to board, then called off the ship. If there was a problem, one would think he would be denied boarding in the first place. The end result was the same, unfortunately he missed a great trip, but I think I would have rather never stepped foot on the ship then to be yanked off. Glad he was refunded and can use that money to plan another fabulous vacation.

 

Yes. He will need to get an updated GC, then he can travel. Hopefully he will get a passport.

 

I think the confusion between the ship staff, the embarkation staff and customs is the main reason that they granted a refund.
