I have never seen an itinerary like that. I believe a foreign port is required even on a closed loop cruise.

You must have some foreign port. Those are all US possession ports. Where are you leaving from, or do you go to St. Martin, too? We just take our passport cards with us. They are inexpensive when you renew your passport, and fit nicely in a wallet. If for some unfathomable reason, we should miss the ship, the port agent should have our passports.

Laurie. I know you like fantasy series. I never read Nora Roberts before, because I thought they were all gushy romance novels. But she has two really good ones. "The Awakening " trilogy and also "The Rise of the Magicks", also a trilogy. I thought they were really good. The most recent fabulous fantasy/sci fi that I have read recently is "Here and Now and Then" by Mike Chen I always enjoy your live reports. And I am looking forward to following along on your adventure. βΊοΈ I was too slow. It wouldn't let me edit.

6 month passport rule on Royal Caribbean? Help!
Coralc replied to puckliny's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Good call. You do need a passport for open loop cruises. But they have passports, so I would argue strenuously. It is a cruise line recommendation not a federal rule. But you're right. I don't have any experience with passport timing. And in any case, you don't have time to get a new one now. I hope everything works out for you and your family. And since it let you check them in. I don't think it should be an issue. π -
6 month passport rule on Royal Caribbean? Help!
Coralc replied to puckliny's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Don't worry about it. Bring their certified birth certificates as a backup. But it shouldn't be any sort of problem. The 6 month thing does not apply to any Caribbean islands. -
Trust me @Teeara everyone will be up very early tomorrow. βΊοΈ Canal crossings are so exciting, and the ship is literally buzzing very early in the morning. The approach to the canal with all the anchored ships waiting for their time is very interesting, too. And sometimes there are crocs, on the banks during the approach. Bill went to Pacific HS. Which is now Marina Square. π

Re: shower doors. I think I would like frameless, but I don't really want clear shower doors in the guest bath. Sometimes there might be 2 people in there. I haven't been able to find frameless with partially obscured glass. That is probably why we are going semi-frameless. Re: electric vehicles. There are millions of them here. The Tesla factory is local. Just about every other car is a Tesla, EV or a hybrid. The people across the street have 2 Teslas. What I have noticed, is that most people that have them here also have solar, that they can use with their (in garage) charger and backup battery. No one seems to be too concerned about a fire risk. They mostly catch on fire after they have been in a crash. We are not particularly interested in them though. Charge/distance anxiety is a real thing. And I can fill my vehicle in 10 minutes at a gas pump. I have no interest in waiting around for a charge.

Good question! And just to make it more confusing, we are going with semi-frameless. Part of the termite work requires disassembling the guest bathroom and replacing the subfloor, so we are going to replace the tub/shower door.

I wondered where you've been? βΊοΈ Switched cruise lines? There is no retreat concierge on Royal. π
