I just came back from the Wonder last week. I got the same message to book the shows but I wasn't able to do it until I boarded. This happened to be the case with a few fellow cruisers too that I checked with.

Hi, Just wanted to post an update here that we were able to board the cruise and disembark and return back to US successfully without any visa or passport issues. Thanks all for your help.

Thank you, I will check with St Maaten on the passport validity this week. Also, i just found this on their website so really hoping it would be ok:- "General Visa Exemptions -Passengers of cruise ships visiting the island for less than 48 hours;" https://www.st-maarten.com/index.php/island/visa-and-entry-st-maarten

Thank you Yes, she does not need a visa for St Marteen as she has a valid US visa and Indian passport (checked with embassy as well). Also, India is exempt from 6 month entry requirement for US. I will call RC tomorrow and check with them too. My only fear is if she gets a CBP officer who goes by the generic 6 month validity rules and not follow the exemptions... can i take the print outs from CBP website and show it to them or something if it happens? Any other suggestion to alleviate any confusion?

Sure, added more details on the description.

Hi We have booked Wonder of the Seas to Caribbean(Sint Marteen,St Thomas, cococay) for Nov 13th. It is a closed loop from Cape Canaveral. My mom who is citizen of India plans to travel with us and has a valid US re-entry visa and a Indian passport valid for duration of her stay. Only thing is the passport will expire in 2.5 months(February) which means it's not valid for 6 months after we travel. I read on Royal Caribbean's website that they strongly recommend passport to be valid for 6 months from the date of travel. Will this be a problem with Royal Caribbean/CBP? Will they stop her from getting on-board?
