orla56 Posted June 25 #1 Share Posted June 25 (edited) Hi we are cruising from Southampton in October to Spain and Portugal with Royal Caribbean. We are Uk citizens.Could anyone tell me how many months we need on our passport. I read you only need 3 months from the UK but also read might be 6 months on a cruise. Hopefully someone can confirm which is correct for me.TIA. Edited June 25 by orla56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ziggyuk Posted June 25 #2 Share Posted June 25 Both countries are in the Schengen area so 3 months but Royal Caribbean require 6 months in their T&Cs. Also don't forget your passport must also be under 10 years old when leaving those countries, many older UK passports can have more than 10 years, my passport does.

We had the passport back in a week which was amazing as there were long delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john watson Posted July 20 #7 Share Posted July 20 (edited) It is a very quick and easy process to apply for a passport. If you are renewing in the same name you just need a photo from a photobooth. This gives you printed shots and a code number which transfers the image electronically to the government passport website. You apply on line put the code in and send in your old passport and the new one arrives within three weeks. You get SMS or email updates on how the transaction is progressing.You get your old passport back in a cancelled state.
