With all the security and regulations these days our passport might as well be our Driver’s License. And to the international countries and cruise line it is certainly that and more...it is your key travel identification. I can’t help but to encourage you to DOUBLE CHECK your passport expiration date TODAY and make plans to schedule to apply for a passport if you don’t have one. Or renew your passport, if your passport is not valid with a minimum of six (6) months after the day you are scheduled to arrive home.
Here’s a true story, I had to assist my girlfriend’s college daughter in getting a new passport because her passport did not have the valid 6 month window for her travel period. The waiting period was unrealistic for our needs (long wait) and the last minute ordeal & stress was truly not a way to start off a trip. There are agencies that can expedite your passport process. But, it will COST YOU. So, my suggestion is GET IT NOW and save your dollars for that fabulous shopping excursion in port!
PASSPORTS are REQUIRED FOR CRUISE TRAVEL to all International destinations. Again, Passports must be valid for a minimum of six (6) months after the day you are scheduled to arrive home.
For information about obtaining a passport for the first time, or about renewing a passport visit the U.S. Department of State's Web site.
