yes, if you are going out of the country, you will need a passport. to apply for a passport, you will need 2 passport photos (most places take them and give you the 2 you need). You will also need your birth certificate.

The easiest place to apply is at the post office, one of the links I provided should be able to help you find where to apply.

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.

OUR RECOMMENDATION
Cruise.com strongly recommends that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. This greatly assists 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 cruise after January 8, 2007, and 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.

All Non-U.S. citizens: Any non-US citizen who has previously been admitted to the United States for permanent residence must carry their passport and Alien Registration Receipt Card. All other non-U.S./non-Canadian citizens must have valid passports and any necessary visas. Such guests should verify carefully the existing identification requirements for their particular travel situation, as these requirements may change.

IMPORTANT: ALL guests should carefully verify the existing identification requirements for their particular travel situation DIRECTLY WITH THE CRUISE LINE OR THEIR LOCAL CONSULATES OR EMBASSIES, as these requirements may change. Guests arriving for embarkation without proper documentation may be denied boarding and will not be entitled to a refund.

New news: the state department has delayed mandatory passports for the carribbean area for one year, until 2008. You most likely can still just use a birth certificate for one more year. I would go ahead and get a passport because this "new news" just came out within the last couple of days. I am sure about this, but be careful and call the cruise line that you want to use.

Lady : if you were going to Calixco or Jalpa the requirements
are to have all information complete because in case of any emergincys yourself must make arrangements with Ship's
Doctor during Sea Cruse ! also check about http://www.travelsafety.com

The travel requirements will change for 2007, but more drastically for 08. Since I am not sure where you are going I will give you the guidelines.

2007 - Cruise starts and ends in a US port - Traveling to Mexico, Canada, AK, or Caribbean
-You will only require a birthcertificate and government ID. The birthcertificate must be an original or certified copy.

2007 - Cruise starts or ends in a Foriegn port that you are flying to or from.
You will require a passport. The law in 07 changes to if you are flying in or out of the US to start or end a cruise vacation no matter where you travel to then you need a passport.

2008- All crossings into another country, driving, flying, cruising, require a passport.

Sadly yes. Our government can not stop people coming in from Mexico & Canada but, for those of us who live here and want to go away we have to pay the government for the same information found on our Drivers License.

That's right. Beginning next month, any U.S. citizen leaving the U.S., even if only to Mexico, has to have a passport to get back in.


caligurllovya
