Passport Expired!!

[lpereira]

You only need the passports to get back into the US in an unplanned flight. You could fly back in the day before they expired. Just renew them when you get back.

I just found out that my kid’s passports will expire in May. Two and a half months after our cruise which is next week!!!! Do I need to worry about that?

Have you contacted DCL and asked what their requirement is? In the end, it's DCL that will determine whether you're permitted to board and whether your kids will be permitted to leave the ship in the Mexican ports, so I would ask them directly about this. Good luck!

There's been a report that American Airlines does require 6 months on a US passport to fly to Mexico. Probably has to do with the 6 month recommendation/stays longer than 6 months requiring a visa thing.

When would American see them?

Lol. It’s a closed loop cruise that doesn’t even require passports for US citizens. Their passports are fine.

And as far as I know there are no cruiselines that allow you to board without the required citizenship info, and just not allow you to leave the ship. It’s just not a thing anymore. You either have the required forms or you don’t go. And in this case they are fine.

When would American see them?

When they check in for the flight.

When boarding an international flight, passports must be verified at the airport before boarding the plane.

Yes, I did today and they said we should be fine!

Both good suggestions, but, in this case, not necessary.

Thanks, yes that is true. Some folks do read threads to find information and may not even post. My hope was to give the OP one more option, even though not necessary, but also provide details (and link) that others may could benefit from.
