brekin67 Posted February 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I have a friend from Germany who would like to join us on our cruise. He is here now with a passport and esta. We are going on a closed loop cruise out of Galveston on February 24. Carnival said we can add him now to the room, but could not give us an answer about required documentation. Will he also need a visa? He does not have one. He only has Passport and Esta. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Durban Cruising Posted February 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The US Dept of State says the following: If you are admitted to the United States under the VWP, you may take a short trip to Canada, Mexico, or a nearby island and generally be readmitted to the United States under the VWP for the remainder of the original 90 days granted upon your initial arrival in the United States. Therefore, the length of time of your total stay, including the short trip, must be 90 days or less.
