CRUISE WITHOUT PASSPORT

Did you know you can cruise without a passport? I just took my first no passport cruise. In this episode, I provide travel and cruise tips for cruising with a birth certificate. I talk about closed loop cruises and the passport renewal process. Watch this episode to get prepared for your next cruise.

Just a reminder. Make sure you check with the cruise line for the document requirements for your specific cruise. Not all close loop cruises are the same and some ports may require a passport.

Your production of this video is absolutely on-point. I like the style of your delivery and the amount of valuable content for the time invested to watch. Nice job, Tony.

Hi Tony. All good information to know. I always travel with my passport. You just never know what could happen. As always, thank you for all you do!

Years ago I always traveled on closed loop cruises with a bc and thought nothing of it. It wasn’t til watching travel videos like yours that I learned about scenarios that could easily come up that would require a passport. Grateful for your content!

This was the first time my DH and I embarked and disembarked in New Orleans. We have nothing but praise for the whole set up. It was a very smooth process, and the workers were smiling and polite. We have been to a few other ports and let's just say you feel like herded cattle. It's nice to know what is entailed in cruising without a passport. As usual Tony, you explained it very well. Bottom line, if you do not have a passport then get one. It makes it easier and safer to do. Thanks for sharing!!

I have been on 11 cruises and have never used a passport. I have never had an issues with using just my license and birth certificate - no delays or any other problems. I just now got a passport because of all the covid craziness - I did not want to take a chance in a foreign country. I will say I recently cruised on the carnival Sunshine out of Charleston and the strange thing is we didn't even have to go through customs when when returned to port after our cruise. Got off ship and we went right to the parking lot. How strange - I've had to go through customs on my last 10 cruises so not sure why it changed.

I did a 5 night cruise on the Scarlet Lady without a passport back in September, and it was totally painless.. No line or delays..

Grateful for this video! We are going on the Breakaway in March. This is our first time cruising. We didn’t have enough time to get our passports. Thought it would be okay for our first cruise, to see if we like it. We are only taking excursions with the cruise line, to ensure we don’t miss the ship. But I have been very anxious about it.
This helped relieve some of that anxiety! Thank you! We will definitely be investing in passports in the near future.

Great show today. Thank you for the reminder.

Thank you so much for the information. My first cruise is next month and didn't want to spend the money on a passport if I happened to find out I didn't like cruising. this video is super helpful! (to explain: I am usually a camper....out in the woods, isolated, etc. I have high anxiety and bipolar) so, if I do happen to enjoy cruising, I will get my shall btw, all your videos have been amazing and so helpful! thanks.

22 cruises, no passport. No problems. That being said, I'm getting mine this year.

[tommycam]

Great informative show....! The pictures enhanced your points... Enjoyed it!

[AlexErika]

Good information Tony. I always have my passport but it's good to know that if I find myself in a similar situation as you I have an option on a closed loop cruise.

[ingaguenther]

Good content! Thanks for covering this information.

[debbiechristy]

Great info.on cruise travel - with or without a passport!! Who knew??!! Thanks, Tony!!

[micheleskeggs]

Great info for all. I'm as old as dirt..on my 5th passport..I will NEVER travel without it. The passport is cheap if you think about it, however the peace of mind is priceless!

[brianpite]

Here in Massachusetts we have the option to have a enhanced driver's license. Supposedly to be able to travel within the US, Canada, Mexico and most of the Caribbean without a passport or birth certificate.
I never trusted it. I always have my Passport for travel, the only exception is flying completely domestic.
Very informative video. Thanks

Thank you for this! My brother is one who would only hear "no passport needed" and hear no more! That part about being stranded without one is what I need to persuade him otherwise! Thank you!!

I commented earlier that I got my passport Pick Pocketed in Rome . It was a giant pain to go through the process of getting another. I did get a bit of information from the American Embassy that might be helpful to other travelers. We now take a photo copy of our passports and put them in our carryons, this makes the emergency replacement process much quicker if we misplace our original passport.
