Thus spake "Captain C" :
You can board in San Francisco and disembark in Seward or Whittier because the ship will transit through either Vancouver or Victoria Canada, (A foreign port). Incorrect. It must be a "distant foreign port". And Canada and Mexico don't qualify. The Jones Act you are referring to is an act to protect the railroad system. It is antiquated, but still exists. All foreign registered ship, (and most are), cannot pick up passengers and disembark passengers between two or more US ports, so the cruise lines get around this by routing via a foreign port. Again, incorrect. For instance Miami to Nassau and back to Miami, Ft Lauderdale and out to one of the Bahamas Keys before returning to Ft Lauderdale. The daily casino cruises are US registered ships. (However it is very costly to register in the US). Not all are US registered. Carnival offers "cruise to nowhere" that just head out to sea for a day or two. They don't visit any ports. Hope that helps you a bit? Not a bit. Campbell -- dillon "When the French are against it, you know we can't be far wrong." - Adm. Bobbie Ray Inman |

This is all very confusing regarding a foreign port. Last season, both the
Diamond and Sapphire Princess ships did 7-day cruises to the inside passage, all US ports, round trip Seattle. The only gimmick was a several hour stop in Victoria, BC, the night before they return to Seattle. Victoria, apparently qualifies as a distant and foreign port. Don "Captain C" wrote in message m...

If you return to the port you start at, you need either zero ports (as in
a cruise to nowhere) or a foreign port. If you cruise out of one US port and to a foreign port (or vice versa) as in the one way Alaska Cruises out of Vancouver, you are fine. If you cruise out of one US port to another US port, then and only then do you need a distant foreign port. Don & Lynn wrote: This is all very confusing regarding a foreign port.
