Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise for all passengers. Even though a passenger has completed the cruise line’s online reservation, it is still the passenger’s responsibility to present the required travel documents at the time of embarkation. Any passenger without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel, and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. RCI, Grappler’s Escape, and its agents/affiliates assume no responsibility for advising passengers of proper travel documentation.
A valid passport is required for travel. For your protection, RCI highly recommends that all guests travel with a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the end of their cruise. In addition, it is recommended that guests bring a second official form of identification such as a laminated driver’s license or identification card issued by a federal, state, provincial, country, territory or municipal authority.
The ship may collect your passport to speed up the clearance formalities in each port of call, so it is suggested that you bring a few photocopies of your passport’s personal page which includes the picture as well as carry one of these photocopies with you each time you leave the ship.
Requirements are subject to change, and it is each guest’s responsibility to ensure that he/she has the appropriate documentation.
