I'm not supposed to find myself in this boat--12 days before my first cruise. . .no puns intended, really, I just can't help myself, I started making puns--unknowingly--when I married my husband almost 9 years ago. . and there's the root of the problem--marrying my husband. . .
I'm getting ready to do online check-in for our 4/9 Wonder cruise. Suddenly I realize that my passport uses my MAIDEN NAME! OF course it does, the only reason I have one is that we went to Ireland on our honeymoon. 9 years and 2 kids later and you won't be surprised to know that I've not used it since shortly after our wedding.
I have our marriage license, signed, stamped, lists my maiden name and one of my girls birth certificates lists my maiden name also, and my passport is obviously me, although I look a lot younger, have darker hair and there's a certain, I don't know. .. joie de vivre. . . .am I panicking for nothing, or should I DO SOMETHING? What, I have no clue. Of course, everyone else in the family has an official birth certificate right at MY fingers, but not ME!
Oh, please tell me this is no big deal. . .I swear I'll spread as much pixie dust as is in my power from now until I get a new passport with my "Real" name!!
HELP!
THANK YOU EVERYONE for all your advice and suggestions. I called DCL and the rep said they will compare the birthdate on my driver's license with that on my passport and it will be fine. I will bring my marriage license along too.
PHEW!!
