passport needed or not for Caribbean cruise?

Exactly. Now you have it. And, as others have noted, it's a darn good piece of ID. I always bring my passport for new jobs, where they need to both confirm your identity and whether you're a citizen. Standard procedures require 2 IDs for this, but only 1 if it's a passport. Mark |

Paris, Texas? Yeah, and then on to Athens and finally Palestine. You missed Moscow. Population 170 including one cop who can be found patrolling the one mile of Rt. 59 that lies within his jurisdiction. "You ain't from around here, are you, boy." Sigh, actually I won't miss Moscow this weekend. Our travels will take us through it. At 35 mph. -- - dillon I am not invalid Toby (Tri-Umph That's the Sweet Truth) March 1998 - June 2010 What a dog.

passport needed or not for Caribbean cruise?
[Default] Thus spake Ohioguy :
I ended up getting both the Passport and the Passport Card on Monday. I was tempted to just get the Passport Card, but I checked over the list of countries, and 1 stop in the Caribbean was not on the list. This probably wouldn't have been a problem, because I'm not likely to go ashore a lot, but my wife seems to think we may possibly fly to Europe or somewhere in 5 or 6 years. I guess it will be convenient to already have the passport, if so. It actually doesn't matter if you choose to go ashore on whatever island (too lazy to look). If the ship stops there, you need proper documentation. -- - dillon I am not invalid Toby (Tri-Umph That's the Sweet Truth) March 1998 - June 2010 What a dog. What a dog! |

Several years ago we did an inspection of the Carnival Paradise, but were delayed about an hour because ICE was doing a complete crew documents check. These are surprise checks. There's some sort of visa you're supposed to get that's intended for seamen who will not be in port for more than a certain limited amount of time. They can't actually leave the port area. -- - dillon I am not invalid Toby (Tri-Umph That's the Sweet Truth) March 1998 - June 2010 What a dog. What a dog! |

There's some sort of visa you're supposed to get that's intended for seamen who will not be in port for more than a certain limited amount of time. It's a non-immigrating visa. Not exactly. There are many, many non-immigrating visas that don't permit one to legally "work" in the US. They can't actually leave the port area. Really? Cruise line restriction or visa restriction? What if they have a valid passport? Depends on where they're from. Visa waiver country? No problem, but then they don't need one in the first place, so the question is moot. Pakistan, correct. In theory they can't get past security. Practice is a different story. -- - dillon I am not invalid Toby (Tri-Umph That's the Sweet Truth) March 1998 - June 2010 What a dog. What a dog! |
