    We cruise to the Bahamas 3/24-3/29. My passport expires 8/28/25. Do I need to renew before we depart or will I be okay!?

    Ahoy there, Alexis!

    Thanks for sailing by planDisney. Based on your sail dates, I assume you are sailing on the Wish from Port Canaveral. This is one of my favorite cruises - a quick sail to the Bahamas and, more importantly, Castaway Cay! Every time we visit, we jump on a bike and tour the island. Hands down my favorite part of the trip!

    Since you are on a closed-loop cruise, according to Disney, you are set to sail with your current passport. Per the rules, all documentation needs to be valid for the entire voyage length, and since your passport expires 5 months after you return, you are ok! I double-checked the US State Department's website to confirm that this is correct. If you were on a different sailing, your passport would need to be valid six months past the last date of your sailing, so I suggest renewing asap! (Let's be honest; you will definitely consider booking another cruise as soon as you finish your high-seas adventure!).

    Since your cruise is next month, you're in your Online Check-in window! Head to the Navigator app to confirm that all your travel documentation is shipshape. You can also book and manage onboard activities and port excursions. If you have any other questions, feel free to float back by. I wish you smooth sailing!
