Not your typical passport question

Does anyone have any advice on how I might go about getting my passport stamped while in Cozumel???

[Redheadsmama]

I was going to ask if our passports were stamped

at each port? No?

 

Looking forward to answers. Isn't this one of the reasons

for getting our little travel book? LOL LOL

Pretty much all of your immigration stuff is handled before you ever board the ship, which is bannered under a different country, so the moment you step onto the ship you're already on foreign soil.

 

That's pretty much the reason you don't ever end up with a stamp in your passport.

 

I was just hoping there was a way around that.

I got mine stamped in Halifax, Canada. The lighthouse at Peggy's Cove (a small fishing village) doubles as a Post Office. It wasn't free though. I think it cost $5 bucks or so.

 

Maybe other countries Post Offices do that as well? Of course it might be nothing more than a glorified postal cancellation. But it looks cool regardless.

I don't think so. I have even been through the airport many times and have never been stamped. It was stamped at the Roatan airport, but that is the only one I have.

The only place I have ever had mine "officially" stamped was after landing at the airport in Shannon, Ireland, about 10 years ago. Who knows if they even still use a stamp...it said something to the effect that I was allowed to visit for 30 days from whatever date I had landed.

 

I also got a "novelty" passport stamp from a place in Wales that has the longest town name in the world, supposedly. Lord help me if I even tried to spell it here...haha.

 

On another semi-related note, I was in Theodore Roosevelt National Park's visitor center in western North Dakota last fall for a camping trip. Near the entrance, there is a little stamp and a sign that says "stamp your passport here". I was all excited (because I don't have any stamps in my current passport!), so I ran out to the car and got my passport, stamped it with a park stamp, and only then did I notice the little "National Park Passport" booklets you can buy that the stamps are intended for. Oops. Oh well. :)

On Legend last summer I asked this at the Purser's desk. They told me to bring the passports down & they would see what they could do.

I did this after Grand Cayman, but we got stamped in

Cozumel and I think Belize(didn't dig them out to check). We missed port in Costa Maya due to weather.

That is too funny.......I live in Halifax. Up until Jan 2008 you didn't even need a passport for Americans to visit. But I do understand. Last year was the first year I ever travelled and I got so excited to get that first stamp in my passport. I decided there are so many more pages to fill. So I booked another trip.

You can go down to Guest Relations and ask them about getting your passport stamped.

 

I did this on my 10 day Disney. They took my passport, gave me a claims ticket. On the last night I went back to get my passport and I had stamps from all of our ports of call.

Thanks for all your help.

 

Last summer on the Celebration I went down to the Purser's desk to ask about getting it stamped but they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about.

 

I guess I'll just give it another try this year, and be a little more persistent.
