Glama Posted September 8, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 8, 2007 It's fine for your October cruise, you won't need a passport at all for a cruise vacation until 2008 (I think, unless they recently changed it again). You will need your original birth certificate, with the imprinted seal, and photo ID. Have a great cruise, and congrats on your wedding! My sister was married on October 14th, a beautiful time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted September 8, 2007 #4 Share Posted September 8, 2007 We just cruised Carnival with friends (3 weeks ago) and those with us did not have a passport, just birth certicates with photo IDs. No problem at all. Just make sure it is a real birth certificate with a raised seal. There is a thread going on at the RCCL board right now where a bride didn't look at her birth certificate until the night before they left and it was a birth registration/not actual certificate with a seal. So look now and make sure she has the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justplaingoofy Posted September 8, 2007 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2007 FYI, You may want to check with Carnival. I think some of the Costa Maya ports have been rescheduled to another port due to the last hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyMore Posted September 8, 2007 #6 Share Posted September 8, 2007 This is from Carnival's current... ummm Currents LOL Guests entering the US after a cruise to Bermuda, The Bahamas, Canada, the Carribean or Mexica may need a passport as early as the SUMMER OF 2008, pending legislation.

Esmerelda Posted September 8, 2007 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You will be ok going on your cruise...the only issue is if she would get ill and have to fly back from an island...she will have a hard time getting back into the US. This was my concern on my recent cruise but we all got passports before we went. going is not the problem...its if there is an emergency... many happy wishes for your upcoming wedding!
