I'm not sure why you're so bothered about additional details, and negatively responding to others providing advice. I didn't mention traveling alone with minors, because I'm not. All relative details were provided. I mentioned wanting advice from others who have experienced this. I do not intend on traveling without my passport. I was wanting to know for worst case scenario if for some reason I could not obtain my passport in time. I did contact Princess about 6 times and received mixed answers. According to the website, I should be fine. I was just wanting confirmation. I did my research, and this website seemed much less judgy than reddit, fb, etc. So I decided to ask. This is my first cruise.
