Passport question

[1bets1]

I plan to book the 5 day Bermuda in June for me and my daughter. I know when registering, it asks for passport number. My daughter's passport expired, and she has an appointment for renewal Feb 8. Should I leave that blank, use the old number, or wait for the new one to come?  Does it matter? Thanks for any info!

It can be edited later or filled out later, so you can do what is easiest for you to do. I would wait until I had the new info and fill everything out together.

Leave it blank for now. When she gets her new one, you can add the information.

Thank you. I wasn't sure it would let me continue with blank spots. I'm assuming her passport will come in April/May- is the a deadline for registering? I think the cruise date is June 26.

If she's a US citizen and the trip is sailing from a US port she isn't even required to have a passport, so leaving it blank would be perfectly acceptable.

Online check in will likely close 3 days before sailing.

Thanks. I'm always concerned traveling without a passport, because NJ doesn't have the Real ID license yet. We're a little slow here. 🙂

You won’t even begin to start your on line check in (the only place you enter your passport) until the end of March.

it is a good idea to have a passport. Applying February 8 her new passport should arrive in February or March. Plenty of time. Real ID is not required for domestic flying until October and it is not required for a cruise. She will be all set by June. No need for concern.
