Piero Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'm going to have a cruise in less than a month to nassau-cococay, but my passport expires 5 months after the cruise ends, I'm from Peru and right now I'm not currently at my country so I don't have the chance to renew it, is there somebody who has already boarded the cruise without been denied? What are the chances of being denied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 I don't know the actual answer to this but if you go directly to Royal Caribbean's website it says this: Accepted Identification for International Guests (non-U.S. Citizens) For US Sailings: Non-US Citizens will require a passport valid at least 6 months after your cruise ends and the necessary visa for entry into the United States. On Transatlantic and Transpacific sailings European and Chinese guests will require ESTA (Europe) and EVUS (China). We actually ran into this situation with my mom for our cruise coming up in two weeks. We are Canadian, and her passport expires in July 2023. After reading this on Royal's site, and not wanting to risk being denied boarding, she went ahead and renewed her passport a few weeks ago.

RCVirgin22 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'm actually curious why it needs to be six months after the cruise, I can understand mere weeks being an issue but in what scenario would you be detained for six months or longer if something were to happen at a port? Aside from illegal activities of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Curtis Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 This just happened to us, ours expired 6 months, actually 5 months and 23 days. We boarded in Port Canerval, showed them our passport, was never questioned, no issues, but we did leave from the usa . Best of luck.

DoomSlayer Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 I would contact the Peru Embassy or closest Consulate near you. They may be able to help you renew your passport without having to go back to Peru. This is typically one of the functions of Embassies and Consulate offices in supporting their citizens while abroad. I wouldn’t chance not having the proper travel documents and being turned down at the port and having to forfeit the cruise fare.
