Are passports needed onshore?

[Lou33]

We will bring our USA passports with us when we board the ship. But will we need them when we go onshore in Canada? I was thinking of leaving them in our safe and bringing a photo copy with us.

I can't think of any reason you would need it, do you intend to rent a car if so I assume you have other identification.

You would be safe to leave it in the safe.

Dear Lou33,

 

Having a Xerox Copy is a wise way. Photo ID .:D

 

As sometimes The Murphy's are always around.

 

We always carry a copy ashore.

 

In your luggage also keep copies so if somehow the Murphy's visit those you have a much better chance of a comeback visit.

You won't need your passport OR a copy. We are friendly. *** are Murphys?

Assume they are referring to "Murphy's Law".

You only need to carry a passport if you feel you will be late for your sailing. You will need it to leave the country or fly to your next destination. If you are on a cruiseship excursion, you are ok. A private tour would be the only time you may be late. But usually never happens. We keep them in the safe and carry a copy for id only
