carnival liberty and immigation???

[tmm249]

Question.... Liberty's 8 day sailing that goes from San Juan (Monday:5pm-12am) then directly to St. Thomas (Tuesday: 7am-6pm) do you have to go through the immigation process twice in a row?? I wasn't sure how that would work since you would just be doing it before you got off the boat in San Juan, then would they have you go through the line showing your passport again next morning before you get off for St. Thomas?? Has anyone run across this? Thanks

You will not have to go through immigration at either port. You are safe until you arrive back in FLL.

So... you mean, after we get on the boat for the 1st time, we won't have to go through any lines before a port to show them our passport? We can just use our sign and sail cards to get on and off?

The reason you don't have to go through immigration is because Puerto Rico and St. Thomas are both U.S. territories. Since the Liberty doesn't visit any foreign port before visiting either of these U.S. ports, no need for immigration. That's one of the HUGE benefit to the Liberty's Eastern itinerary! I'm looking forward to benefiting from it next week!

Pretty much. I have not sailed Carnival in a little over a year but they may also have you show a picture ID along with your sail n sign card getting on and off the ship but you will not have to go through immigration until your return to FLL on Sunday.
