As the June 1st, 2009 deadline for passport requirements looms in the next few days. Much attention has been given over the past year to the new travel requirements that are going into effect.
Even though there is one small loop-hole left for cruisers only for ‘closed loop’ cruises, that too will be changing in the future. It is recommended that all travelers apply for a US Passport. They will be good for 10 years for adults and shorter time periods for children. If you currently have a passport and it is going to be expiring within 6 months, make sure to renew it promptly.To learn all the specifics about traveling with a passport and the complete list of WHTI requirements visit the US State Department website.
