First cruise - CARIBBEAN - questions
Thus spake Ray Goldenberg :
On Tue, 07 Nov 2006 16:15:12 -0600, Dillon Pyron wrote: RCI is requiring passports for cruises returning after Jan 8. So that makes the rest of the discussion moot for them (I haven't seen anything from Celebrity, I assume they are doing so as well). Hi Dillon, As a matter of clarification, the above is not correct. Royal Caribbean dropped the passport requirement after the law was changed. The cruise lines lobbied heavily for this law change. From Royal Caribbean: Yeah, I got that fax after I posted it. But in mid October they did say they were requiring them. Domestic Sailing Requirements: U.S. Citizen Passport Requirement Air Travel Effective January 8, 2007, passports will be required for all U.S. citizens flying to or from all international destinations. This includes all areas of the world in which our ships sail, such as the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Asia, Central and South America. "Cruise Travel As early as January 1, 2008, subject to U.S. Government amendment, passports will be required for all U.S. citizens cruising to or from all international destinations. This includes all areas of the world in which our ships sail, such as the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Asia, Central and South America. Until that time, the following travel document requirements apply: International Travel A valid passport is required; visas are required where they apply. This includes Europe, Asia, Central and South America. Domestic Travel For domestic travel which includes: the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico, a passport (valid or expired) is highly recommended. In the absence of a passport, a birth certificate (original or a certified copy), plus a picture ID card issued by a federal, state or local government agency is required. A voter registration card or Social Security Card are not considered to be proof of citizenship. Children under 16 years of age do not require a picture ID.
