You will be getting excited about your Royal Caribbean cruise as the departure date gets closer and will have thought about the items that you should pack. The camera will be on everyone’s list along with casual clothing for lazing on the deck or going ashore. It is possible that you will be required to wear formal clothing on some cruises, check your itinerary.
More important though is the need for a passport, a requirement for international travel. If you are a British or Irish citizen (including children and infants), you must have your own full 10 year (5 year for children) Passport which is valid for at least 6 months after your expected return date. Please note that Irish infants (up to age 3) are issued with a 3 year passport. It is no longer possible for children to be included on their parent’s passport. Obtaining a full British passport presently takes approximately 4 – 6 weeks, but you should allow longer at busy times of the year.
In addition there may be a visa requirement for your cruise, particularly if you are visiting countries in Asia or Australia, British citizens should contact the Foreign Office for up to date information.
