LynnAnne Posted June 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Daughter and I will be cruising Oct 30th. She will be getting married Oct 7th. Our cruise and flights are booked under her maiden name. Will she need to have marrige licence with her, I worry about her passport and how fast they could have one with the right name on it.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto2kids Posted June 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Just to make things easier I would recommend that she wait a couple of weeks until after the cruise to start doing all the legal changes. Why make things more difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsyd Posted June 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Same thing is going on with my future daughter-in-law. They are getting married in October, and we are cruising in November. Cruise and flights are booked in her maiden name, so she's not changing her name until we return from the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted June 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Why worry about name change? Just keep the passport for a couple of weeks and the problem solves itself. By changing things, you're just creating a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
more cruises Posted June 25, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Absolutely keep/book everything in the name on her legal documents now (ie maiden name) and then change all of them to her new married name after she gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By changing things, you're just creating a problem. Also wait on the Drivers License. Some ports ask for picture ID & ships card to get into the port area.

Book the cruise that way and DO NOT change the passport until after the cruise. There will not be any problem as there is no legal requirement that she switch names anyway.

abq_girl Posted June 27, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Gotta agree with the above comments. I just went through all the name changing stuff, and I would recommend waiting until after the cruise to change her name. It will keep everything so much easier!!!
