    We are traveling to Mexico on a closed loop cruise from San Diego. A person in our party has a NON US passport (Vietnam), no Green card and a NON US birth certificate (Vietnam). Will she be able to go using just her passport and California Drivers?

    Ahoy, Amy!

    Welcome aboard planDisney! It sounds like you and your crew are about to embark on an incredible adventure aboard the Wonder—and with a cruise from San Diego to Mexico, you’re in for some pixie-dusted fun in the sun!

    Now, when it comes to travel documentation, I always like to say that “adventure is out there”—but only if you have the right paperwork to make it happen! While I’m not a U.S. Customs agent (and Disney Cruise Line doesn’t determine entry requirements), I definitely recommend checking with the U.S. State Department to ensure everything is in order before setting sail.

    Since your friend has a valid passport from Vietnam, that’s a great start! However, from what I could find, Vietnamese citizens typically require a visa to enter the U.S. I’d highly recommend confirming whether they need a valid U.S. visa for re-entry. The last thing you want is for your magical vacation to turn into a real-life Pirates of the Caribbean situation—stuck in port instead of enjoying the high seas!

    I know this isn’t the definitive answer you were hoping for, but trust me—it’s always better to double-check with the experts ahead of time rather than face unexpected surprises at the terminal. A quick call to the U.S. State Department and Disney Cruise Line will ensure your whole crew is ready to set sail without a hitch!

    I hope you have an incredible time on your Disney cruise adventure! Be sure to stop by Cove Café for a relaxing coffee break, catch the Frozen musical onboard (it’s fantastic!), and don’t forget to grab some tacos—because what’s a trip to Mexico without amazing food?

    Sea ya real soon with luck in the air and magic everywhere,
