If your cruise stops in Martinique you will not be allowed to board the ship without a passport. 

I agree with you based on what I've read on the Royal website:

But this is where it gets confusing.   Someone from our group called Royal and this is what she posted:

"I just got off the phone. The representative said that since it’s a closed loop cruise- we do NOT need to have a passport AND we WILL be able to get off the ship with ONLY our sea pass. We will not need to carry around our documents at the port. I’m going to double check as soon as I arrive to board the cruise but for safe measures, I am skipping an excursion for Martinique just in case. PHEW!!!!"

This is what the Admin in the Roll Call group posted:

"Yes you can still cruise just not allowed off the ship."

 

Has anyone been on a Royal cruise that visited Maritinique?  How did it go with the passport requirement to visit?  Were you allowed to be without a passport at embarkation on Day 1?

Where's your bar located? Are you open for business? I'd like to come and partake.

It's in my pantry.  Sorry... no room for a bar counter and stools.  But there's DoorDash for pre-made test cocktails.  lol

The only problem is my home bar is running out of room

 

I know the feeling, I started with only a small bottle of Tito's and Kahlua for an Espresso Martini, now I got all this.  I did not want to make substitutions with the brands Royal uses on their recipes.

Do I have to book this directly with MEI-Travel or can my TA, who's with MEI, do it for me?

Every cruise I can.  

I still have my book safely stored with me, but the card is convenient for cruising, domestically.

Thanks for the reply.  I was going to try it for myself for an upcoming cruise, but I’ll just take your word for it.

 We haven't got our REAL ID's done yet, just regular driver's license.  

It looks like REAL IDs can't stand alone like the Enhanced Driver's License.

I wonder how the bartenders (really) feel about making cocktails like this with so many ingredients on a busy night.
