    3. Do you need a passport to cruise from Texas to Mexico?
    Do you need a passport to cruise from Texas to Mexico?

    I'm considering a cruise but have no passport. If I keep it simple, do I still need a passport?

        The current passport requirements for a Mexican cruise state that, effective in 2009, all citizens of the United States must present a valid U.S. passport book, the new U.S. passport card or another WHTI-compliant document to enter the United States. However, people who are traveling from the United States on closed-loop cruises, which are cruises that begin and end at the same U.S. port, are not required to present a passport to immigration officials.

          Whew! I can probably get a passport but my travel-mate cannot. And I need the travel-mate as one has to pay for both openings on a room on a cruise. I WAS going by myself.....

          No I don't think so. I went to Mexico 3 times from Texas & was only asked for my passport once and only then because the border guard picked up on my accent.He mistakenly thought I was British.But just to be sure why don't you call the Dept of immigration? Enjoy the cruise.:)

            Your cruise line agent can answer this question. I am cruising from Vancouver to Alaska in September, and I do need a passport. Most cruise lines require a passport.

              I told James about your post. He said "No, Texas is still part of Mexico!"

                  If you dont plan taking other international travels, the card is a better deal.
