Another option, which does cost additional money but might be worth it to others as a backup, is to have a "backup" or secondary proof of citizenship that comes in a credit card-sized format. I live in Washington State and its Department of Licensing issues Enhanced driver license and ID cards to US citizens. It's mostly for crossing the border into Canada without being required to carry a passport but it also serves as proof of citizenship when entering the United States. Another option is the US passport card, which functions the same as an EID/EDL but any US citizen can get one, not just someone who lives in a state that issues "enhanced" cards.

 

A third choice is to join a so-called Trusted Traveler Program, like Global Entry ($100), SENTRI ($122, must live in a state that borders Mexico), or NEXUS ($50, must live in a state that borders Canada and be admissible to Canada). All three issue cards that are valid proof of citizenship and, unlike the passport card or EID/EDL, can be used in place of a passport to fly into the United States. (That said, if you are really stuck, the US consulate in the country where you missed your ship can get you a travel document or a letter authorizing an airline to carry you to the US without a passport and having another proof of citizenship greatly smooths this process.)

 

If you don't travel very much, the passport card is the cheapest and it's a useful form of picture ID elsewhere. I highly recommend at least getting it. Regardless of which you choose, you can leave your passport in the safe onboard and just carry a simple card with you.

Global entry is NOT the same as a passport. It is used in conjunction with your passport for expedited entry into the United States.

The law allows YOU to start the roll call. I would start it, but I'm not on the ship that cruise.

I know but the Xperience is not listed under Celebrity.... only the Xpedition.

With a occupancy of only 48 passengers it doesn't surprise me that there aren't roll calls.

 

We are on the Constellation, occupancy about 2,200 and our roll call has 11 members.

 

Have a great time on the Xperience.

I kinda thought as much but it is always nice to hopefully meet 1 or 2 fellow cruisers beforehand. [emoji4]

Is anyone else booked for the Xperience September 8 2018? There does not seem to be a roll call for this newer ship yet... :D

Complain everyday several times a day. You will get compensation for this terrible situation. We got some compensation from our last cruise!!!

Keep them coming Tim!!!! Glad you are having a great time!!!! ;) Did you book the Oasis????

I wonder if he is having technical or mental issues??? :p:rolleyes::p:rolleyes:

What's happened to the review Tim, are you having to use tin cans to try and send the signals over the airwaves, and it's taking a long time to reach us back here on dry land......;)

 

Look forward to hearing from you soon.... lol
