Visa requirements for Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman

[rtraveler2004]

Anyone know what the Visa requirements via cruise port are for these countries?  We are booked on the Feb 7th-18th Middle East cruise on MSC Lirica out of Dubai.  Qatar us a 2 day port while Bahrain and Oman are both single day ports.  I wasn't sure if any of these require a visa in advance before we get there or if you can get the Visas all upon arrival or if the cruise ship took care of these for everyone.  Do multiple country cruises like this usually keep passports throughout the cruise?  Any info is greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

What does MSC say about visa requirements?

I'm booked on the same cruise (different dates).  If you're from the U.S., there's no pre-visa requirements.  You obtain the visas on arrival at the ports.  It's on the MSC website too.

Just on the Bahrain topic....I'm on Lirica out of Dubai on January 16,2020 sadly Bahrain has been taken off our itinerary. 

I am interested to see if this stop is still available on your cruise?

For US and UE passport holders there is no visa requirement for Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and the UAE.

Since you didn't quote me, I'm just now seeing your post.  Yes, my both my cruises on the Lirica (Dec 11) and the Bellissima (Jan 18) went to Bahrain.
