How is not? It is not a Panama Canal Crossing. Does not transverse the Canal.

I also think you forgot to add that this is a closed loop cruise. "A closed-loop cruise is a sailing that starts and ends in the same homeport. Most sailings from North America, except repositioning cruises or Panama Canal crossings, are closed-loop."

do you know when that disclaimer was posted on their website??

How about Carnival sent a "need your passport" blast email and the sailing is exactly a month away (Carnival Conquest 9 day Panama Canal out of MIA). Basically, in a nutshell they are sailing that for this Panama Canal Cruise, 3 of the ports of call are outside of the Western Caribbean Travel Initiative (Costa Rica, Colombia, and Panama) and therefore you have to have a Passport. My beef is why did they not announce this at the time of reservation. They are making no kind of overtures to refund money either as a goodwill gesture. Has anyone heard of any kind of crap like this being pulled last minute?
