ParrotHead79 Posted August 9, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Carnival's website is showing June 2009 for requirements for having a passport on a cruise. Sounds good to me. I guess I won't bother yet. http://www.carnival.com/CMS/Static_Templates/EMB_travel_document.aspx?wt.mc_id=ebookedaugust07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted August 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I see a lot of posts about passport dates. Do I have to find a date to get a passport, and if so, do I have to tell my wife about her?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dihead Posted August 9, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I guess you'll be fine if your not flying in.. passports are always a good idea regardless if you need them or not.. but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandymleahy Posted August 9, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 9, 2007 This requirement will become effective no later than June 1, 2009. Please be aware that this effective date may be moved to an earlier date pending the U.S. Government’s implementation of new identification cards (PASScards) that will provide a less expensive alternative form of documentation. That is a quote form your link...but also on carnival.com is The U.S. Government will soon require all of our guests (including U.S. citizens) to be in possession of a valid passport when traveling on any Carnival cruise. Foreign nationals should contact their respective governments to obtain further details. This requirement may become effective as early as Summer 2008 http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/New_Passport_Requirements.aspx As there is conflicting info on carnival's website, I am going to be better safe than sorry and get my passport for my Apr, 08 cruise.

ParrotHead79 Posted August 12, 2007 Author #7 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I'm going in January, and we are flying in the day before. I'm not too worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to find a date to get a passport, and if so, do I have to tell my wife about her?;) No, need to tell your wife, the government already knows and if need be, they will tell her. Sooooo, I would be on my best behavior if I were you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you won't need it on Carnival just now, you will be able to use it on plains, going to Mexico etc. What if you decide to fly to Europe on day, you will need it for that. This is probably a good time to get it. I had mine in seven weeks. Of course it came from New Orleans, so that made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VICKIVICKI Posted August 12, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2007 My oldest son lost his passport. Does this mean he can go with us on our cruise in February even if he hasn't been able to get it replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as long as he has proper photo ID and a birth certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carriejose Posted August 12, 2007 #13 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I was hoping the date was going to change (again)...We are a family of 6 and you are talking about an added $500+ expense to our trip next June...It's a pain carrying around our birth certificates, but it is worth the savings for me. I am holding out as long as I can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am holding out as long as I can... Fortunately for us, DH and I already have ours though his recently expired and we need to get a new one (cheaper). We do have 5 kids but all but one are adults. If they wish to get one (the ones that haven't already) they can get them on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
