are passports needed to travel to jamaica
can i use a passport card for a cruise to jamaica and grand caymen islands?
If you are a US citizen AND depart from and return to the same US port, i.e., Miami, then you do not even need a passport. Cruises such as this are known as "Loop cruises" and do not require a passport but do require proof of US citizenship (i.e., a birth certificate) and a photo ID. That's what all of the cruise lines now state on their web sites and the Customs and Immigration officials accept. The cruise lines strongly suggest that you do have a passport or card, but they do not require it.
Here are the differences:
The passport card is $45 vs $100 for a passport book.
The Passport card is good for land border crossing between the US, Canada, and Mexico and sea cruise border crossings in the Caribbean and Bermuda. The passport is acceptable everywhere.
Both are good for 10 years; the passport renews for $75, the passport card for $20 : http://travel.state.gov/pdf/ppt_pptCard.…
Regardless of which you apply for you will still have to submit the exact same documentation; photos, proof of citizenship and proof of identity. So the bottom line is which is more convenient and conveniently priced for you.
This web site for the US Passport Office has all of the information you need, including the passport application that you can print and submit. http://travel.state.gov/passport/passpor…
The process in simple terms:
-Print off the passport application from the web site above.
-Have two passport photos taken; at many travel agencies or an AAA office.
Submit/mail your application to the Passport office along with the required 2 photos and the application fee of $100 for an adult passport, include an original or certified copy of your birth certificate.
Processing takes about 4 weeks. You can request and pay for expedited service of about a week; its explained on the web site.
