Did you have to give your passport to the Russian immigration in advance, as someone said that. I don’t plan on getting off ship anyway, but worried about not having visa and if it could be a problem

I don't remember, if the Passport was held (at the time) by the Ship's Reception Office - or if I still had it in my possession. But if it was collected on Board - to be available for Russian Immigration inspection - then that's ok -
