Stops at Barbados, St Lucia, St Kitts andSt Maarten. Does anyone know where to go to get your passport stamped at these locations.
Hi Matt,
Just got off the Disney Magic yesterday in San Juan.
Barbados; as soon as you enter the cruise terminal, there will be a door on your right hand side that says "Immigration, please knock". They will provide you with a stamp free of charge.
St. Lucia; ask a Port Officer (police officer) for directions to a passport stamping office. There are many officers in the cruise terminal. I was told it was about a 15 minute walk from the terminal. Unfortunately, I didn't ask about this until after my excursion and was told I wouldn't have enough time to walk there and back since my ship was getting ready to leave.
St. Kitts; as soon as you exit the ship dock, you'll see an information booth. Directly to the right, was an open door. I was told to go in there and knock at the next door. Sure enough, I found an angry immigration officer that wouldn't speak to me but stamped my passport free of charge.
I recommend that you indicate exactly where you would like your stamp on the page. I figured this one out after my second stamp. Many of these immigration officers will pick a random page and stamp it in very odd places, like the center of the page. Making that entire page semi-useless for air travel.
I hope this helps! I've also had success getting stamps in these ports of call:
