fredflint Posted October 26, 2018 #26 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The funny part is for most ports you get in and out of the country without even showing the passport just your card which is pretty odd when you think of it. If you have time why not go ahead and renew so you have one less thing to stress about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The port authorities are given the passenger manifest which likely includes the documentation used by the passenger to board. Since the cruise lines do a good job of making sure everyone has the appropriate documentation there is usually no need for a passenger to meet with them.

fredflint Posted October 26, 2018 #28 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Some people like me like to get their passport stamped as it makes it easier to recall where you went and when. Some people do it for fun, I have to do it for work every five years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, cruise ships are pretty good about making sure everyone leaves with them. Or if not, letting the port authorities know the person did not return to the ship. I imagine, if you just left, and did not come back to the port to try to catch your ship, you would then be flagged as an illegal entrant to that country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
