Max Circus Posted October 25, 2014 #26 Share Posted October 25, 2014 In the carribbean islands you don't need your passport to get back on the ship. You do need government photo I'd (such as license) and your ship issued sea pass card. My suggestion about having a copy of your passport is for worst case scenario. You miss the ship and have to fly somewhere. Having a copy of your passport will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioDogLover Posted October 25, 2014 #28 Share Posted October 25, 2014 i always bring a copy of our final payment receipt from our TA. This is because we have had errors on our bill when we have boarded. E.g. last time we had free gratuities and X did not have them on our account. It took a few days to get it straightened out, but having the receipt definitely helped. (It wasn't the TA, it was X.) Ohiodoglover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleckle Posted October 25, 2014 #29 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Are you able to do this for all the islands? You just need a photo copy to get back on the ship?? ....not the original?? I though they had to scan it?? The photo copy of the passport is only to use as your photo ID for entry to the port area (so that you can leave your actual passport itself securely locked away in the safe). Your seapass card is what is scanned to get back on the ship. That way in case of theft or loss, you only risk losing a photocopy that is easily replaced, not your passport or driver's license. However, if it is a port where you actually need to take your passport off the ship with you, they will let you know. If you are going to be driving a motor vehicle at the port, then you also need to take your driver's license with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetp09 Posted October 26, 2014 Author #30 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks so much! I appreciate all the helpful hints and tips. I finished our online check in and ordered our luggage tags. Can't wait to go!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrandle Posted October 27, 2014 #31 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Very important. If you haven't already, GET A FLU SHOT. According to the info from CDC, it reduces your probability of getting the flu by 50%, and the risks for most folks are negligible. (See the CDC website for specific info on who should not take the vaccine). Most casino players would kill to find something that would improve their odds by that factor!

triona Posted October 27, 2014 #32 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Take a cell phone picture of your luggage before you board your flights (or at least before you hand off to the porter at the pier). This way, if it is lost, you won't have to describe it, you can show them. What a good idea. Triona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
