Tasinei Posted 9 hours ago #1 Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Hello! So I am planning the family vacation this year and I thought a Caribbean cruise might be interesting. However, my brother is unable to enter the USA due to his criminal record. Can he still go on the cruise or do I need to figure something else out? Or maybe he can get on in another port? Or am I looking at having to pick another location altogether maybe? None of us have ever been on a cruise before. Can't seem to find any info on this, he has a valid Canadian passport for some context. Edited 9 hours ago by Tasinei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted 9 hours ago #2 Share Posted 9 hours ago You would need to find a cruise that doesn't start or stop in a US port. Some lines sail from Barbados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the cruise also need to NOT do a US port of call during the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted 6 hours ago #4 Share Posted 6 hours ago 1 hour ago, Shmoo here said: Wouldn't the cruise also need to NOT do a US port of call during the cruise? Yes. There are a lot of cruises, mostly on lines that you haven’t heard of (meant for the OP) that sail from Caribbean islands and do not call at any US ports. Boarding downline on a cruise from the US wouldn’t work unless the cruise ended in a foreign port. Most cruises from US return to the same port, called closed loop.

SelectSys Posted 3 hours ago #5 Share Posted 3 hours ago I think MSC has some sailings from Bridgeton might work if your only concern is entering not the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted 2 hours ago #6 Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) As others have mentioned, he will not be able to board any ship that departs from, terminates in, or calls on any US port with its itinerary. This will include Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John in the Caribbean. Edited 2 hours ago by leaveitallbehind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted 47 minutes ago #7 Share Posted 47 minutes ago There are cruises from Martinique, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe…visiting many islands in the mid and southern Caribbean. Costa, Marella, P&O-UK, MSC, AIDA, Wind Star, Seabourn, Star Clippers.. But an AI is probably an easier idea. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
