[ganurse]

can you tell me what we need? obviously a passport. Its my maiden name so can i just bring a copy of my marriage license? Do I also need my birth certificate? does anyone know how long it takes to get copies of these?

Hi, just back and hope this helps.

A passport is not necessary on the eastern and western carribean cruises (not sure about that repositioning cruise!) Since you have a passport, use it instead of the birth certificate.
It really did make things smoother at the airport and with check-in a the port, as they are issued by the federal government.

Since you have since married you will need a certified copy of your marriage license. As far as how quickly you can get this, I think that depends on where you live. Around here it's done the same day if you appear at the town clerk's office yourself. I would just get it done as soon as possible and put it with the passport.

Unless something has changed since May '04, you will not need a copy of your marriage license. We never were asked for it, don't know if we even have one that is "certified"..
