BrianB Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Every foreign flagged ship (which is virtually all cruise ships, except NCL’s Pride of America) leaving a US port, must, by law, make a stop at a foreign port before returning to the US. The Passenger Vessel Services Act prohibits the transportation of passengers between two different US ports on any vessel other than a US flagged vessel. A special legislative exception has been created for Alaska cruises only. So it is a good idea to always bring a passport…in the event something happens at a port you’re visiting and you must fly home. It’s one of those ‘good to have just in case’ things. Enjoy your cruise! WAAAYTOOO and Pattycruise 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Agree on having the book passport. Have made unexpected stops in the middle of a cruise in a foreign port to drop off very ill passengers and injured crew. Hard to get back to the states without a passport. Also passport cards will not work for an airline flight from a foreign country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
