[QUOTE]Originally posted by sbalax: [QB] All-- I was a bit surprised to read Vicki's post about 900 of the passengers not having a passport. Here's what I found on the Carnival website: CRUISE TRAVEL U.S. Citizens Carnival highly recommends all guests travel with a passport (valid for at least six months beyond completion of travel). Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens taking cruises that begin & end in the same U.S. port, travelling with a passport enhances your disembarkation experience, as delays may be expected upon your return to the U.S. if you do not have one. Additionally, passports make it easier for you to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port should you miss your scheduled port of embarkation, or need to fly back to the U.S. for emergency reasons. I guess the "highly recommends" went right over their heads. Or, more likely, they didn't read any of the pre-cruise information. I realize this was supposed to be a four night "fun cruise" but I can't imagine leaving the country without a passport. Another point we should all be aware of is that the TSA is becoming much tighter about the name on your ticket or reservation matching EXACTLY the name on your ID. Most recently we were hassled by the TSA at LAX because our boarding cards had first and last names (One was a nickname -- Norm for Norman) -- but our passports included middle names. London based crew on the aircraft confirmed that they have had passengers denied boarding because of this. Frank in sunny but still cool SBA [/QB][/QUOTE]
