Passports and the Caribbean

[SpoonfulofSugar]

I just read in my AAA World magazine that starting Dec 31, 2005 that any US citizens traveling to the caribbean by air or sea will be required to have a valid passport.
Has anyone else read this?
I guess we will have to get passports for our Feb 2006 cruise.

Yes, there have been numerous threads on these boards for the last few months relating to the new polcies about passports and travel. Try doing a search and you will probably find some more threads on the issue.

the best place for the most accurate info is at the State Dept website http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html

Yes, this is true. Getting a passport is really hassle free. Allow 4-6 weeks - you can even download forms on-line and bring them to a designated post office that handles passports.

I got my passport anyway for my first cruise last year; I just felt it was easier and now with this new law, I'm even more happy that I did!
