First time posting here, so I hope this is the appropriate section. I did some research before posting, but was unable to find a specific answer for my exact situation. So, I'm hoping I can find it here!
I leave for Bermuda on 5/17/2015, with NCL departing from and returning to New York - so it's a closed-loop cruise. This was a shotgun decision, I just found out & booked today. The issue is that my passport is expired, and seeing as I only have a week until departure, I'm not sure I can get my passport that quickly. Even if I can, I understand the fees are expensive.
What I need to know (and this question is directed at cruisers who have visited Bermuda this year, only because I want to be sure the rules haven't changed since 2014) is will I be able to go ashore in Bermuda with only a NYS driver's license and a room key? When I went to the Bahamas with NCL we only needed our license & room key to pass through customs.
If clarification is needed on anything, I'd be happy to explain, I'm just looking for a direct answer so I know whether I have to take a trip into the city Monday to order a passport, or if I can cancel the appointment!
