Bumped because this is important for first-time NCL or Carnival cruisers. :eek:

Karen - great info to share with new cruisers. It was nice to use my new passport on my last cruise.

 

I think one of these days everyone will be required to have one ... not just for cruisers, but the airlines, etc.

Everyone within the next few years will need one... so getting one is a good idea.. just remember some are valid longer then others.. Canadian passports are good for 5 years while the US passports are good for 10 years.. Enjoy your vacation all!! :)

After 12/31/05 passports will be required for US citizens to the Caribbean, Bahamas & Bermuda.

 

After 12/31/06 the same for Mexico & Canada.

This for cruises booked after 12/31/05 or that leave after 12/31/05????

My family and I leave the 15th of January! :eek:

It's the date they leave.

[sandiegocruisedude]

Any person leaving the United States, traveling to the Caribbean, Bahamas or Bermuda will need a passport if any part of the trip goes beyond 12/31/05.

 

frawgdawg26 you will need passports!

For cruises that leave after New Year's Eve of this year or if you are already onboard after 12-31. Apply for your passport now, no need to stress. If you are leaving the US, you will need a passport to get back into the US. Use the link in the first post. It's a very simple procedure. ;)
