My wife and I would like to take an overseas cruise but right now I'm not able to obtain a passport. Just wondering if you even need one.

NO !! NO !! NO!!! you do no longer choose for a passport in the experience that your cruise deliver departs from a US port, AND your cruise ends in the past the top of this twelve months (December 31, 2007). yet a passport would be required of all US voters to reenter america commencing January a million, 2008. as quickly as you get the passport you would be set for 10 years. the cyber web internet site under will answer all your questions approximately passports. to boot, in case you're taking a cruise this calendar twelve months and for some reason (such as you fall ill) and ought to fly back to the US then you definately will choose for a passport.

Yes beginning January 1, 2007. You might want to get your application in as soon as possible. Also, there are places that can expedite your application for a fee. Mine was finished within like 5 working days for about $150.00. The application is overnighted to a passport center in a major city, then hand-walked in. The fee increases depending on how fast you want it. Good luck!

take Charlie's suggestion and read the info direct from the State Department......short answers is
coming in by plane yes after 1/7/2007
coming in by cruise ship yes after 1/2008
travelling by air to and from PR or the US Virign Islands..never as they are USA !
Now thats what Customs and Immigration want to see........each airline or cruise ship line may have stricter requierments so best check with them directly.....especially aboout travel after JAnuary
