Fascination Southern Carribean

[Jersey platypus]

Hi - we are UK residents, will we need visas for our travels - we fly to Barbados but visit Puerto Rico, St Maarten, St Kitts, St Thomas, St Lucia. I've looked on the Carnival site but I can't seem to figure it out, being a bit dim.

Thanks for any pointers.:)

Can't answer your question being from California but might try asking in the UK Cruisers board.

Also resident in UK. Booked on this cruise in July. My travel agent has advised we need US visa's.

Hope this helps

Hi all

 

I am from the uk and have done this itinerary 3 times - all you need visa wise is your esta.

 

Be aware if you boarded in Barbados you must get off the ship in Puerto Rico and will not be allowed back on for several hours. You have to take your passport and disembark, when you get back on board you can bypass all the queues of those joining in San Juan, head for a carnival employee in port and they will usher you through.

 

This is a fab itinerary you will have a great time, if you need any suggestions for excursions just shout.

Evening, UK cruises to and i think we are looking at same cruise (except mine is 2017).

 

Ours lists:

 

Day 1 Barbados

Day 2 St. Lucia

Day 3 St Kitts

Day 4 St. Maarten

Day 5 San Juan

Day 6 St. Thomas

Day 7 Fun Day At Sea

Day 8 Barbados

 

Not heard about this San Juan situation described above. Is this a major boarding point for people? I thought everyone would board in Barbados?

No, only about 10% boards in Barbados.... Being an American cruise line, the bulk is going to board in San Juan. Hence the later stay.

Thanks for clearing that up :)

Hi

We are doing this cruise back to back in July from Barbados.

What time did you have to disembark in Barbados? Our flight is not until 5pm so we are trying to figure out what to do.

Would definitely love some suggestions for port excursions. Thanks much!

We're also from UK and hoping to do Carnival Fascination.

I don't believe UK citizens need visas to enter the US.
