mom2mybugs Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello! We sail in two weeks on vision of the seas and my kids are ready to go. The passport people, however, held onto my passport application for a month before telling me my photo wasn't ok. They have a new photo and hopefully it will come in time, but I'm in a panic! If I sail with just a license and birth certificate, will I be able to leave the ship in roatan, beluze and mexico? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markinct Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 CRAP! I hope they can expedite your passport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Vitale Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 To my knowledge, you can get off the ship at your ports. The only real disaster comes into play should you need to fly home from somewhere for an emergency. You would not be able to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Caribbean will let you on with just birth certificate and you can get off the ship in ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Mom2MyBugs - I would continue to check online or call on your passport so you have an idea of where it is but yes you can sail with a Photo ID (Govt issued) and Original Birth Certificate (raised seal or certified) and like others said, RCI allows you off in other countries with your Ship Card.

mom2mybugs Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ok, after 3 more calls and an additional 70 dollars, it looks like my passport is completed and ready for ups to pick it up and mail it. I should have it with about 4 days to spare! Another related question...I already have my st sail documents and checked in with my birth certificate and id. I can change whatever until March 16. Can I go online and enter in a passport number? Will I have to reprint anything? Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it all works, you will have to re-print but using the passport is safer and simpler! So glad you were able to get it back in time!

DocLC Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 While I agree that you should update your online check in, I don't believe you need to reprint the documents as you can actually check in without them in hand. What Royal is most interested in is the establishment of your onboard account. Further, they're going to confirm that you have your passport when you check in at the terminal, so I wouldn't necessarily reprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 This thread scared me enough to go find my passport and make sure it wasn't expiring. :lol: I'm happy to report no problems with either mike and DocLC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2mybugs Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Glad you are in good shape matt! The passport is in my hot little hands! Now my biggest dilemma is which drink to have first or whether to do park café or windjammer when we board! DocLC and markinct 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my biggest dilemma is which drink to have first or whether to do park café or windjammer when we board! Oh my, that's another good "problem" to figure out! Hmm, I will have to think about that too markinct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Park Cafe versus Windjammer.... why not both? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Great news you will get it You don't need to update it online- you can just give them the passport at check in time and they will scan it for you in the system.
