Olstick Posted January 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My wife and I are on a 10day cruise on the Gem. Her Passport expires on april 16 2016. We are leaving this Feb on the 21st 2016 and will be returning on March 2 2016. We are planning to bring our passports (mine expires next Dec 2016) and our drivers license. I jjust want to make sure that everything will be allright when we embark. Any information would be helpful Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbryan5 Posted January 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2016 No reason why everything wouldn't be ok.. You both have valid passports. You'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloperate Posted January 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2016 You will feel a lot better approaching the ship by getting the wife's passport renewed before the sailing.................though probably not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted January 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Should be okay but bring her official birth certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sparks1093 Posted January 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2016 There will be people onboard traveling with birth certificate and government ID, so your valid passports will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershep Posted January 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We used government ID and valid birth certificate to board the Gem. Bring these and your passport and you will be more than fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp466 Posted January 12, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Cruise lines may refuse use of a passport that is within 3 months of it's expiration date. You might want to bring your official government issued birth certificate as a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted January 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Cruise lines may refuse use of a passport that is within 3 months of it's expiration date. You might want to bring your official government issued birth certificate as a back-up. Under what authority may they do that? They will either do it for all or do it for none (which would be clearly laid out on the website) and no port on that itinerary requires US passports to be valid past the visit for cruise ship passengers. (And the passport is valid for re-entry into the US up until the day it expires.) Such a rule would be silly considering that one doesn't need the passport for the cruise in question to begin with.
