Calif-Couple

Passport renewal (expedited) for me and my wife, 

Received by passport office in Philadelphia June 12

Approved July 15

I just got both from the mailbox today July 19

Just a side note, the online tracking dates for our passports were right on. 

I want to thank everyone who responded to my post regarding our fears of getting our passports in time for our cruise.   It is all worked out and we can get excited for our trip again.

Mailed both our passports separately on June 12th using expedited service. Passports were both received on June 16th. I received my new passport today!!! My husband's passport is still in process. Our passports were mailed  from Florida. 

During your renewal,  did they update the online status as your passport went thru the process?

We just mailed in our passports (expedited) the other day for renewal. We are looking to book a NCL cruise August 27.  That’s approximately 10 weeks from now.  I am just looking for anybody that has some recent renewal times. The passport website says expedited 7-9 weeks.

I’m a little reluctant to pull the trigger on the cruise. Hearing from anybody will make me feel better one way or the other.

Thanks, Rick
