Aliens traveling to or from Area 51 are exempt from this policy…
haha
Carnival requires guests to provide proper travel documentation in order to travel. The documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise and is the responsibility of the guest.
Due to the heightened level of security, Carnival is strictly enforcing this policy. Our policy states that any guest traveling without proper documentation will be denied boarding the ship and no refund will be provided.
On occasion, U.S Alien Residents may be asked to surrender their Alien Resident Card at time of check-in. This document will be returned upon completion of the immigration inspection at the time of debarkation.
U.S Alien Residents must contact the appropriate Consulates, U.S Embassy and U.S Immigration office to inquire about necessary travel documentation. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of Immigration requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cruises that visit Bermuda
U.S Alien Residents must present their valid, unexpired Alien Resident Card in addition to their birth certificate or Passport from country of origin.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cruises that visit Europe
Alien Residents are advised to check with their travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents. Certain foreign nationals will be required to obtain a Schengen Visa and/or Croatian Visa.
Roundtrip Europe: Guests must carry a valid passport from country of citizenship.
Trans-Atlantic sailings that disembark in the United States, the guest must carry a valid passport from country of citizenship and a valid, unexpired, Alien Resident Card.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cruises that originate in Barbados on the Carnival Destiny
Alien Residents must contact the appropriate Consulates or Embassies to inquire about necessary travel documentation. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of Immigration requirements.
Travel Documentation Requirements
The following documentation is required in order to sail on ALL cruise departures, including Cruises-to-Nowhere.
Valid, Unexpired, Alien Resident Card with a Photo I.D.
Note: The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative does not pertain to U.S Alien Residents.
Photo I.D. Information (if not on the Alien Resident Card)
· A Photo I.D is required of all guests 16 years of age or older.
· A Photo I.D does NOT have to be state-issued but must show a clear picture of the guest with the corresponding name.
· Sources of Photo I.D:
v Driver's License
v Government issued identification card (city/state/federal)
v Student I.D
v Company I.D
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is important that guest names on travel documents (Alien Resident Card, etc) and Photo I.D be identical to those on the cruise and airline tickets. In the event of a different name (name change), documentation supporting this change is required.
· Current, valid driver's license with a photo
· Government issued identification card with a photo (city/state/federal)
· Legal Name Change court document
· Marriage Certificate: original or copy
If a guest is on her honeymoon and a marriage certificate is not available, the name on the booking should read: maiden name followed by the married name; do NOT hyphenate the name.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Traveling with a Minor
When traveling with a minor and both parents or legal guardians are not cruising, we strongly recommend
bringing an original signed letter from the absent parents/legal guardians authorizing the minor to travel with
you since this will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security.
Please note that a notarized letter to this affect is required if disembarking and leaving the ship permanently
in Mexico, with children.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Disembarking in Mexico
To debark for more than 24 hours in Mexico, guests must have obtained a Mexican Tourist Card from either a travel agent or a Mexican Consulate prior to their departure.
Additionally, if disembarking and leaving the ship permanently with children, guests must have a notarized letter from any absent parent/legal guardian indicating permission to travel with the accompanying adult.
