Important Info Affecting your Honeymoon!!!
I just booked our honeymoon cruise and on the homepage in red was the following announcement. It seems after 12/31/05, you will need a PASSPORT to travel, even to the Carribean or Bermuda.
Read on:
On Tuesday, April 5, 2005, the U.S. State Department announced details of the proposed 'Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.' If the proposed rules are enacted, U.S. and Canadian citizens will be required to carry a passport for travel to or from certain countries/areas that were previously exempt. The proposed implementation is as follows:
* December 31, 2005 - Passport required for all air and sea travel to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
* December 31, 2006 - Passport required for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
* December 31, 2007 - Passport required for all air, sea and land border crossings.
Once the proposed rules are finalized - either in their current form or a modified form - the cruise industry will communicate that information to our travel agent partners and guests. In the meantime, individuals with future travel plans that would be affected by the proposed new rules are strongly encouraged to obtain a passport now.
