A letter received from a friend
If you are going on a Royal Caribbean Ship in 2007...please note the following letter that I received from Royal Caribbean regarding the passport requirement:
"For now, our policy requiring passports for travel in 2007 is still the same. However, if any changes occur, they will be posted on cruisingpower.com. See below. This come from our Manager of Security.
Royal Caribbean International is aware of the recent U.S. Government change in U.S. passport policy. We are presently reviewing the implications of that policy and possible effects it can have on our guests and should anyone of them need to depart the ship in a Caribbean, Mexican or South American port for any reason and be required to fly home without a passport.
Until that determination has been made, our requirement for a valid U.S. passport for anyone sailing with us and returning to the U.S. on or after January 8, 2007 remains in effect.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through this issue."
If you have any further questions...be sure to check with your TA if you used one or Royal Caribbean...
