Last minute Miami – Caribbean cruise booking for non-Americans??
May 23rd, 2010 |

My boyfriend and I are planning 2-week holiday to Miami in March – we’d like to book a short Caribbean cruise while we are there. Is it difficult for non- Americans to book a last minute cruise? (Is the security tighter etc? We’ll have our passports of course, but would further checks or a waiting period be required also?)

If you’re booking now for March you should be fine as long as you can get the visas (if any), and there’s availability.
A short (3 or 4 night) cruise from Miami will go to the Bahamas, so at least you’d only need one visa.
There’s a link below with information on which nationalities need a Bahamian visa, and how to get one.
I’d recommend that unless you have a very knowledgeable travel agent you should call the cruise lines directly to book, as they will have experience with this sort of situation and can tell you for sure.
Carnival: 1-888-227-6482
RCI: 1-866-562-7625
Enjoy your trip!

Depends on what you mean by "last minute". The cruise lines have to submit their passenger lists for security clearance, so they need some lead time – the cruise line would be able to tell you how long and whether there are any special considerations for people with foreign passports. March will be a difficult time to find vacancies, especially if price is a consideration, because it is prime cruising time [Spring break, Easter week].
You shold not go it is the hurricane season so go to europe Romania it is very beautiful there
