Passport Question

[IrishLassie]

We are planning a cruise for around the end of Oct 2018 on Oasis, our passports expire one in March & one in April 2019. Do we need to renew before the cruise? :confused:

Thanks for any info.

No, not for a closed loop (starts and ends at the same port) Caribbean cruise based out of the US.

Nope, you are good to go.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

For a closed loop, no problem at all. Don't fall for the few here that will say "to be on the safe side"....

If you mean this March, you don’t need a passport for a closed loop cruise from the US but you will need a birth certificate and a valid driver’s license.

I don't think they do

If you are a European citizen, perhaps you do (guessed from the username)

Well, the OP said cruise is 10/2018 and passports expire March 2019 and April 2019.

It’s a possibility. Location says Florida though. Good catch, just in case.

If you are from the UK contact the FCO ( foreign commonwealth office website) but most countries your passport just has to be valid when you return.

Some airlines contradict this advice so contact your airline as well to be 100%.

IF you are a USA citizen going to the Caribbean and leaving from the USA you are fine if it's within 6 months. If you not, you need to check with the rules of your country, and the US. If you are not from the USA, it is recommended always to have 6 months available.

Who's country?

Probably the OP’s? Her username is irishlassie. So if she’s not a US citizen, she’ll have other rules.

 

The “no passport with a closed loop US cruise”

thing is for US citizens.

Thanks everyone for the info & we do live in sunny Florida, not Ireland! DH is Irish & I'm a wee bit Irish! :D

I think I will check with our TA when I go to book just to be safe, would hate to get turned away at check in!

Not necessary. You don't even need to have a passport at all, as you can go on the cruise with just a BC and DL. The islands you are visiting don't require it, so you would only be using it as your ID for re-entry into the US at the end of the cruise.... and for US citizens a passport doesn't need extra months of validity on it to re-enter the states, it just needs to be valid on the day you return. :)

Thanks very much. I won't worry about it then & just wait to renew closer to when they expire. Just don't want any problems as we gave our adult kids this cruise with us for Christmas, so didn't want to have any problems.
