If you are cruising anywhere outside the United States, the most important document you need to have with you is your passport. For many years, US citizens did not need a passport to visit the Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada.

Other important documents to store safely are your tickets. This is to ensure that you make it to your destination without any problems. Make sure that your passport is valid for the duration of your cruise and does not expire while you are on vacation. If you do not have a passport or need to renew it, you should apply for it at least a few months ahead of time - not surprisingly, July and August tend to be the busiest months for passport applications. It normally takes up to several weeks to receive your passport if you apply by mail. If you need it sooner, it is worth the extra cost for expedited service. The name on your passport should match the name on your cruise booking, as well as any airline tickets. Use your full name, rather than any nickname. Cruise...more
