TRAVEL DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS
PASSPORTS
Passport number, date of issue, expiration date and all other pieces of data from the passport ID page are required to be submitted no later than the Final Payment due date for international trips. This information is required on all international trips and is only shared when required by local authorities.
VISAS
A visa may be required for certain international travel and is the traveler’s responsibility to ensure the proper documents are submitted on time and a visa is obtained prior to the traveler’s departure date.
CRUISE TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
US Citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port) and travel to destinations in Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and Bermuda are able to reenter the United States with proof of citizenship other than a passport or passport card. Acceptable proof of citizenship includes an original or certified copy of a government issued birth certificate (raised seal and signature) and a laminated government issued picture ID (typically, driver's license), Consular Report of Born Abroad Certificate or a Certificate of Naturalization.
NOTE: Baptismal records and certificates issued by a hospital are not acceptable.
It strongly recommended that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. This will greatly assist guests who may need to fly out of the United States to meet their ship at the next available port should they miss their scheduled embarkation in a U.S. port; guests entering the U.S. at the end of their cruise; and guests needing to fly to the U.S. before their cruise ends, because of medical, family, personal or business emergencies, missing a ship's departure from a port of call, involuntary disembarkation from a ship due to misconduct or other reasons.
Guests who need to fly to the United States before their cruise ends will likely experience significant delays and complications related to booking airline tickets and entering the United States if they do not have a valid U.S. passport with them.
UNITED STATES TERRITORIES
U.S. Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) who travel directly between parts of the United States, which includes Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), without touching at a foreign port or place, are not required to present a valid U.S. Passport or U.S. Green Card.
However, it is recommended that travelers bring a government issued photo ID and copy of birth certificate.
It also is recommended that you carry proof of your LPR status as all times in the event you are asked to prove your status. This may be in the form of a green card or passport.
