Leaving mid cruise?

[Paulxyz2004]

Definitely sort this out with RCI before you leave, as you could run into all sorts of Problems when trying to do this without authorization from RCI headquaters.

RCI has a standardized way to do this.

 

Send an e-mail with all the sailing details including booking number and requested early debarkation port to:

 

airseagfo@rccl.com (or to fax 305 373 6695).

 

You can also call them directly at 800 256 6649.

Sounds like it would be easier to get a new job before the cruise.

PVSA LAW! In accordance with this law, cruise lines that operate foreign-flagged vessels are fined $300 for each passenger who boarded such a vessel in one U.S. port and left the vessel at another port. The cruise lines typically pass this cost on the passengers who "jump the ship". Exemptions are available in the case of family emergencies etc.\

Also To all the correct police! does not prohibit foreign-flagged ships departing from a U.S. port, visiting a distant foreign port, and then continuing to a second U.S. port. However, in order to embark in a U.S. port and disembark in a second U.S. port, the vessel must visit a distant foreign port outside of North America (Central America, Bermuda. the Bahamas, and all of the Caribbean except Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, count as part of North America);does not prohibit foreign-flagged ships departing from a U.S. port, visiting a distant foreign port, and then continuing to a second U.S. port.

In order to make your statement correct, I added an all important word, highlighted in RED above.

You don't need to be an expert, you just need to know how to read with comprehension.:rolleyes:

Real story about Costa and a family from Chicago. I contacted Dana Dominici, director of public relations for Costa Cruise Lines North America to see if there was anything that could be done for the Succes family. Dominici felt bad for the family. However, she said the company refused to violate the Jones Act. “Exceptions to this law may only be allowed with permission from Federal officials and in general, are only permitted with extreme medical emergencies,” does not prohibit foreign-flagged ships departing from a U.S. port, visiting a distant foreign port, and then continuing to a second U.S. port. However, in order to embark in a U.S. port and disembark in a second U.S. port, the vessel must visit a distant foreign port outside of North America (Central America, Bermuda. the Bahamas, and all of the Caribbean except Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, count as part of North America); Mexico is in N America! Read the law then present your point.

Highlighted words are critical and the OP is not disembarking in a US port. As Bob stated earlier the PVSA (not the Jones Axt) does not apply.

The DH does this a few times a month.... not a problem!! Just let RCI know ahead of time so they can have you in the list to clear Mexican immigration/customs... no PVSA involved because they are not disembarking in a foreign port NOT a US port!

I think you should take your own advice.

I just read and presented it exactly as it reads. You can figure it out. I don't really care as I'm not getting on a ship in the US or ending a cruise in the US. I don't fight with unarmed people. Goodbye
