Description

Save $4,000 On Your Next Cruise By Learning The Rules Cruise Lines Never Explain: https://www.theseasonedcruiser.com Cruiselines Quietly Changed These 3 Rules, What You Need To Know Right Now A REAL ID star on your driver's license proves the DMV verified your identity, but it does not prove citizenship, and cruise terminals require proof of citizenship for closed-loop sailings out of US ports. Only five states issue enhanced driver's licenses with the American flag printed on them, and Texas is not one of them, which is why an example family in the video stood on the Galveston pier watching their ship leave without them. The hospital birth certificate with the baby footprints does not count either; what the lines accept is an original certified copy issued by the state or county vital records office. Beyond documents, Carnival now measures mobility scooters at the terminal door, and anything wider than twenty-one inches cannot go into a standard cabin. Royal Caribbean also moved its final payment deadline to 120 days out for longer cruises and expects guests to arrive within their assigned boarding window, not early, because some terminals are now turning away anyone who shows up before their scheduled slot. #cruisetips #cruisedocuments #REALIDvspassport #passportcard #cruisetravel
