I am taking a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico for my honeymoon and I was wondering if I will need a passport? |
Travel Info Don't think that I am an idiot for asking this question, but I read somewhere that if you are on a cruize all you need is your birthcertificate. Is this true? I need to know because if I need a passport then I will have to get one soon and pay double the standard amount. Anyone who can help will me greatly appreciated!!!!! Travel Tips Not until at least Jan 1 2008. Cruise travel to the Caribbean does not require a passport yet. It may be until June 2009 before it is required Source(s): http://carnival.com/cms/faqs/new_passpor... sa Other Travel Tips * Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable. * As early as January 1, 2008, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries), may be required to present a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. While recent legislative changes permit a later deadline, the Departments of State and Homeland Security are working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Ample advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain passports or passport cards for land/sea entries. Depending on your cruise line, you shouldn't need one. We took a Royal Caribbean cruise a 3 years ago, with Cozumel as one of the ports of call, and we did not need to get passports. Yes, you do need a birth certificate, and definitely another form of identification (such as a driver's liscence) but I believe that was only for boarding the cruise ship. Check with your cruise line to be on the safe side. Have fun! If your cruise is leaving from and return to the US, and is before 1/1/08 then all you will need is your birth certificate and a government issued photo id (drivers lic). If it is after 1/1/08 or starts or end in another county then yes you will need a passport. About a month ago the passport agency was saying it was taking about 6-10 weeks for rush orders and about 4 months for normal request. I hope this helps and congrats on getting married. www.cruisesinc.com/mfurgurson 888-556-2974 I'm a cruise specialist No hun you won't need a Passport if you are traveling by sea untill January of 2008 you only need one if you are traveling by Air.
