PROPER TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION AND TRAVEL INFORMATION

Passport/Visa

All individuals departing from the United States of America must be in possession of a valid passport. Please check that your passport is valid for 6 months or longer than your intended travel time. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have valid travel documentation, including but not limited to passports and visas, which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities at every destination. You are responsible for confirming with the United States Department of State or representative government agency of the country to which you are traveling to confirm the requirements for visas and/or other requirements for admission to your destination. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. A valid government issued ID is required for travel within the USA, however depending on the State of departure or arrival, a passport may be required instead of a driver’s license.

Travels by Likisha highly suggest that all travelers travel with a passport.  Even though a passport may not be required for most locations; it is still a good idea to have it.  As for most Caribbean cruises may only require two forms if identification such as your driver’s license and birth certificate.  You may want to try to be aware of unforeseen incidents while on vacation; which may require you to have a passport to return back to the United States.

You acknowledge any failure to strictly comply with these requirements may result in denied boarding or an undue delay at an airport security checkpoint causing Customer to miss flight(s), and subsequent scheduled travel bookings on cruises and/or tours.
