Need Your Help...

Hi,

 

We cruise on the 28th out of Long Beach for a 4 day cruise. I understand if you are a green card holder, you will just need to bring an add'l picture id such a valid driver's license. what do you need if you are a citizen from another country, and have a valid passport from that country and just visiting the usa and planning to cruise 4 day on the imagination to catalina island, Ensenada, and then back to long beach?

 

would appreciate any help...tried to call the Mexican consulate number that carnival provides and it's all in Spanish...no English!

I am not familiar with your specific circumstance, but I did a search on Carnival's FAQ page

U.S. Alien Residents and Non-U.S. Citizens

U.S. Alien Residents require a valid Alien Resident Card and, in some cases, a passport (depending on itinerary) to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guest must check with their consulate, travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine if their nationality requires they also bring a passport along with their Alien Resident Card.

Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable, to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guests are advised to check with their consulate, travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.

Non-U.S. citizens that are eligible to apply for admission under the Visa Waiver Pilot Program, must still have a valid unexpired passport. U.S. State Department regulations require all guests traveling from visa-waiver countries be in possession of a machine-readable passport that includes a biometric identifier - e.g., embedded digital photograph. Otherwise, guests will be required to obtain a U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa. Guests without proper identification may be refused boarding or entry into the United States.

On occasion, non-U.S. citizens and U.S. Alien Residents may be asked to surrender their passport and/or Alien Resident Card at time of embarkation. These documents will be returned upon completion of the Immigration inspection at the time of debarkation.
