travelfool Posted September 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I just read a review for the Conquest where the guest had to show her passport and her birth certificate....has this happened to anyone? My DH and I are leaving in 4 days, and I've never had to show both documents. I'm not even sure where the b.c's are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohclerk Posted September 14, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2005 My understanding is that if you have not had your passport for at least 6 months than you do need your birth certificate as well! Could be wrong, but when we just booked our cruise for Australia that is what we were told. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolcruise02 Posted September 14, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2005 We just got back from a cruise and got our new passports in July. No one asked for a birth certificate. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelfool Posted September 14, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thanks for the info! I just spoke with someone from Carnival who said that I only needed the passport, so I feel much better about it now. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHERA Posted September 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I was on the Victory July 31. The kids are tired of staying home. Was wondering do the kids need passport for next year or will the birth cert. be okay for them. ages will be 8 and 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted September 15, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 15, 2005 not until 1/1/2008 by ship in North America--- subject to change. Passports are accepted even when expired now so it makes no sense to have to carry the bc and the passport...In some foreign countries passports that have less than 6 months to run until expiring are ng for entry but this doesn't apply to North America...yet.. there is an announcemat at the US Department of State website. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
