amindu Posted October 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Hello - our cruise is mid December and my DW passport expires May 29, 2024. We got the below message re passport being valid for at least 6 months, are they going to give us any issues when we board? We have already checked in and there were no issues other than the note below when I entered her info. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look up the USA Passport requirements for all your ports... From what I saw 'Your passport must be valid for the whole of your stay' but I did not look into it in depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no risk of them not accepting the passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted October 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 25, 2023 For those of us in selected border states, it may be worth while to get an Enhanced Drivers License. They are allowed for land border crossings to Canada as well as ship travel in the Caribbean. We are getting those as backups for an upcoming cruise while we are within 6 months of the passport expiring. States are Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington.

Unnecessary work; the OP is perfectly fine with their current passport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option; the one I use, is a passport card that expires on a different cycle than my passport book. It’s nice to have while the book is out for renewal.
