Going on a Cruise

[Vinny]

Hi Everyone,

 

My Wife and I would like to take a Cruise to the Bahamas in July. I am a US Citizen so I'll have my Passport. My Wife is holding her Green Card. What else is required for her in order to take a Cruise and come back safely to USA?

 

Thanks,

Vinny and Qing

Your spouse will need both passport and green-card to travel in the Caribbean and return to the USA, green-card holders do not need a visa to visit Canada, Mexico, and the countries in the Caribbean.

 

Also if name on passport and green card are different maiden/married, then carry a copy of a document showing name was changed, "Marriage Cert"

So she only needs her Chinese Passport and Green Card right? No need to fill out anything for a Visa for a Cruise to the Bahamas?

Hi,

 

One more thing. When registering for the Cruise Tickets, do I use my wife's Chinese Passport name (Maiden) or Green Card (Married) name??

 

Thanks,

Vinny

I don't think the cruise opporator is as critical as airlines and either name should be fine.

 

But if they are anal then use passport name.

 

I would probability use passport names if were me.

 

For domest air travel married name is fine.
