So helpful!! We will be going to all of these ports in March

We just got back from Costa Maya, rented a golf cart for $35.00 for three hours... drove a round, stopped where we wanted, hung out at the beach... it was fun, and we felt very safe!

Did you reserve ahead of time? Who did you use? $75 seems steep but $35 sounds very reasonable.

I have a passport and agree it is easier/safer etc to get one. I would like to provide a reason as to why someone may not feel the need to get one. My sister is cruising with me on a "closed loop" cruise in November. She has no intention of ever leaving the country again. This is a one time deal for her, so why fork out the money if she doesn't have to? We are making one stop in Cozumel and the chances of an emergency are quite slim. Her finances are tight so why buy a passport when she could use that money to pay her bar bill?

I am trying to decide whether to talk her into it or let her take her chances...while I agree it would give me peace of mind, would you agree that her situation may justify NOT getting the passport?

And where is the best place to find out which countries require a passport to enter? Thankyou for your opinions.
