aca911 Posted September 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2015 We are leaving in a few hours. My mom has lost her passport. We are on a Roundtrip from Seattle. Does she have to have the passport to get on the boat? Get off for the white pass train and get off for Victoria? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted September 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2015 From NCL (guessing that all RT Seattle should be the same) Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Alaska, Mexican Riviera, Or Canada & New England Cruises For closed-loop sailings (cruises that depart from and return to the same U.S. port), you may sail with a valid passport, proof of citizenship and a valid government-issued photo I.D. (driver’s license with a photo), or any other valid WHTI compliant document. Proof of Citizenship examples include: State certified U.S. birth certificate Original certificate of U.S. naturalization Original certificate of U.S. citizenship U.S. Consular report of your birth abroad WHTI (Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative)-compliant documents include: U.S. Passport Card U.S./Canadian Enhanced Driver’s License U.S. Passport NEXUS/SENTRI card Your White Pass excursion should indicate if a passport is required.

aca911 Posted September 10, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Thank you so much. We've doubled checked with princess and they are telling us the same thing. She's just frantic since we have been planning over a year. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnd crsr Posted September 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2015 The White Pass Train does require a passport (or so they say) because you are going into Canada. I have never heard of anyone having to show it. Check their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagie Posted September 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2015 The White Pass Train does require a passport (or so they say) because you are going into Canada. I have never heard of anyone having to show it. Check their website. Passports are required for all trains to and beyond Fraser BC. The only train that does not require one is the RT Summit. We had to show our passports when the RCMP boarded the train and did a quick check. You simply hold the passport open to the photo page and hold it up to your face - they do a quick check of you vs photo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriswinegar Posted September 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2015 We just came back from an alaskan Cruise. We had to show our passport on the White Pass train taken out of Skagway and drops in Canada. the Canadians boarded the train and asked each of us to raise our openned to the picture passport next to our face.

Ashland Posted September 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Heard??? Officials absolutely check all passports on all the one way trains. Of course as always you are correct...and anyone that assumes anything different will be in for a shock...when they try to hold up their other form of ID next to their face onboard the train.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinCan782 Posted September 16, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2015 We used Chilkoot for the "Bennett Scenic Journey" last year and they asked to see your passport (the outside cover at least) before they took us to the train. Of course, we had to present open passports to Canadian officials at Fraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
