Having a valid passport book for all travelers meets the entry requirement for all countries that do not require an additional visa. Trying to travel without it raises these same questions and answers time after time after time. Have passport book can travel.
On renewal you no longer need to send in your old passport and can even renew on line. You can still use your old pasport until the new one arrives. So yes Easy Peasy.
Want to not worry on this type of issue? Easy solution - get a passport book, know when it will expire and apply 6 months or more before then. As they say "Easy Peasy" No more worries or questions.
Only perk you get is to eat a lot of food, cruise to different places and spend money you never thought of.
Honestly there are no 1st time cruiser on Princess perks.
Do they actually have an "Enhanced Driver's License" or just the new Real ID one. They are not the same. Last I checked there were pnly 5 states with the Enhanced DL.
Also for further information Passport Cards will not be good on this cruise either. State Department needs to call them by some other name as they are not good for travel to many places including SOME countries in the Caribbean. Let us know how things go with your friends.
As my post was referenced they will either have a valid passport good for the required time or they will be denied boarding. They are the only two choices. OP you have no control over these two choices. Hope they have a-return flight selected as my friends did not. It cost them $950.00 to fly back to Va the same day. Tell them "Good luck" on their choice.
Would not do it unless there are no other flights that day. Why ruin a good vacation on the last day worrying about missing a flight? Been there done that and not worth it. Now we only take early afternoon flights home.
On a recent cruise 3 of us had hard sided luggage and 1 had a soft sided one. His came off the airline ripped all the way down one side. All others had no problem. We have been using the same hard sided Samsonite luggage for years with no problems.
Wrong. I have tasted coffee beans roasted the same day at the plantation in Hawaii. Also have tasted it freshly ground and roasted from the mountains in Jamaica. Did not prove anything at all other then some people have a high opinion of themselves when it comes to certain items.
