Immunization records and Visas

[NH Cruisers]

Going to Panama Canal in March 2011. Visiting Aruba, Curaco, and Costa Rica. Do we need certain imunization records or a visa at any port? Where can I find posted information on this?

I don't believe so.

 

Did you check the HAL site? Princess posts need innoculations for each cruise.

Nope--you don't need any of those things to visit as a cruise ship passenger.

Just a word of caution...the Department of State has at times not had accurate infomation on its Web site regarding passport and visa information for US citizens traveling on cruise ships. It's not uncommon for countries to have less stringent entry requirements for passengers making a day visit on a cruise ship than those who arrive by other means, such as by air.

Dis it twice and no need for visa or shots.

We have been to all those ports more than once and you need nothing but yourselves!

While it is advisable to have a few shots like Hep A and Hep B they are not required. I would however that you consult with your health professional to be sure that what they recommend for you as everyone is different.

No visas are required.
