I’m planning a cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Navigator to Cozumel and Belize City for Jan. 2008. I called RCCL last week and they told me that a passport would not be required until June 2008 but I called Orbitz today to see what they would say, and the lady told me I WOULD need one for January. I’ve been on the U.S. Dept. of State website and this is what it says:
JANUARY 31, 2008
U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI-compliant document, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.
I’m so confused!! I’m planning on applying for my passport in the next week or so because of the confusion, but in case it doesn’t get here on time, I want to know that I will still be able to go on the cruise! When I apply should I go ahead and have it expedited?
Thanks for any info anyone can give!
Robin
