Passport ?

[rotary2808]

We are going on a 7 night Eastern cruise on Sept. 17. Does anyone know how we can get our passports stamped at each of the stops. We paid a lot for those passports and I'd like to have something to show for it.

Thanks.

Go to Guest Services. Ask them if you can get a "courtesy" stamp in your passports.

I believe the stops on the Eastern itinerary are St Maarten (foreign port), St Thomas (United States territory), and Castaway Cay (no stamp there).

Ivanova, do you just go to Guest Services at any point during the day in St. Maarten or do you drop it off the night before?

They should have a stamp at CC, it's part of the Bahamas, so I think they should have their own stamp.

You have to give it to Guest Services at least the night before. The custom agents come onboard in the morning to clear the ship. Once the ship is cleared the customs agent is gone and they would be the one to stamp passports. I think Guest Services will try to get the stamps for you but they are not guaranteed because it is completely up to the agent that comes aboard.

Curiously enough when we took our 4-night cruise Guest Services did not even want to take the passports until the night before we reached Castaway Cay. We were able to get them stamped the next day however, and Guest Services was nice enough to leave us a message in our room to let us know the passports were ready to be picked up.

We were able to get them stamped . . .

I'll have to try this next time.
