MoominCiao

Thank you for posting your concise review. I particularly benefited from your activities in various ports as well as the sea conditions. We will be onto our first New England cruise and 1st time on Insignia next week; your review is most timely.

Some people take their passport off every time leave the ship in port and some take photocopies and some do not take anything more than a drivers licence unless told otherwise by the ship. In all our travelling, I never thought much about it until last fall.

 

After our last Europe cruise, I am more comfortable taking my passport at each port. While in France last fall, our friend fell and ended up in the hospital. The first thing they asked for was the passport so they could photocopy it. Then all the other info, like address etc. Not sure how her injury would have been handled if she did not have her passport with her. Also, as a result of the accident, time back to the ship was close and there was talk about keeping her in the hospital. Imagine being left in a country with no passport.

 

As we get older some of us get less adventuresome, and that is likely us, but we now take our passport with us off the ship in any foreign country.
