Passport help? |
Travel Info im going on a cruise in next week do i need a passport to go i kn ow that if you fly anywher you do but i read that it hasnt gone into effect until jan 2008 to have one to travel by sea Travel Tips From Carnival Cruises The U.S. Government will soon require all of our guests (including U.S. citizens) to be in possession of a valid passport when traveling on any Carnival cruise. Foreign nationals should contact their respective governments to obtain further details. This requirement may become effective as early as January 1, 2008. Effective January 23, 2007, passports will be required for air travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, The Bahamas and Bermuda. This is an important new requirement for our cruise guests traveling by air to embark or debark in Vancouver for our Alaska or Hawaii cruises. In addition, this new requirement will also impact our Canadian guests that travel by air to or from any of our U.S. embarkation ports. See also: http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc... Source(s): http://www.carnival.com/cms/faqs/new_pas... Other Travel Tips You are correct-the requirement right now is only for travel by air; the travel by sea or land requirement for a passport will go into effect "as early as January 1, 2008." http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbp... I believe if the cruise only goes around the Hawaiian Islands then you don't need a passport (part of the U.S.). However, from the cruises that I have taken lately they require a passport before they allow you to board. Go to the cruise lines website and that should give you the information or call your travel agent. At this point, I'm not sure that even a rush passport can be gotten to you in time, talk to the post office quickly. Jason, I just took a cruise in late October '06 and if you are traveling on a cruise such as Carnival, you are not required to have a passport until JAN. 08. As for land travel a passport is required. Hope this helps! www.carnival.com |
