passport rules, canada, mexico, caribbean, vacations, cruises

Effective Jan 8, 2007, ALL travelers to and from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America and Bermuda WILL REQUIRE A PASSPORT to enter or re-enter the United States.  This initiative will affect all cruise and airline passengers.

Passengers who are on cruises or vacations that depart prior to Jan 8th but return to the United States ON OR AFTER Jan 8th will fall under these new requirements.

If you do not already have a passport and are booked on a cruise or vacation after Jan 8, 2007, you MUST get a passport.  We recommend you do so as soon as possible to avoid the rush that is expected at the end of the year.

You can go here to find information about obtaining a passport, including mail-in locations, walk-in locations (including many U.S. Post Office locations).
