Ryan79 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 A expired passports and credit card aren’t going to cut it. You MUST be able to link the last names through valid government issued documentation. It’s possible that your check-in agent will use what is common sense to the both of us and link you using your date of birth, but I would rely on that.

smokeybandit Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 What name is the reservation in, married or maiden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireclan Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I started cruising in the late 90s. I used my driver's license (married name) and my official state birth certificate (maiden name) until around 2005 when I got a passport. I never had a problem. My daughter in law has cruised RC twice in the last 4-5 years. She used her driver's license (married name) and her official state birth certificate (maiden name) with no problems (although I continue to recommend her and my son get passports). Just relaying our experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1guynz Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 This is what Royal Caribbean has to say on their FAQs I would suggest contacting your TA or Royal Caribbean to see if there is an issue prior to going to the port. As time is limited it is best to get on to this right away to see if there is an issue. Maybe an expired passport is acceptable in this case but only Royal can answer that for you.
