Required Documentation for Disney Cruise
Please ensure that you have the proper
identification and required documentation. Without proper proof
you will be denied boarding, and will not be entitled to a refund.
We suggest that all US and Canadian Citizens travel with a passport.
All U.S. and Canadian citizens must travel with proof of citizenship, which
is a valid passport, or certified birth certificate (with official raised
seal) and picture identification, or a certified naturalization certificate
with a picture identification. Acceptable forms of picture identification
are state or provincial driver's license, or federal, state, province, or
local government photo I.D. card. Guests age 17 and under who are U.S. or
Canadian citizens are only required to have proof of citizenship, excluding
picture identification. These guidelines are based on U.S. government regulations
which are subject to change at any time. It is the Guest's responsibility
to check with their Travel Agent, government agencies, embassies or consulates
prior to their vacation to ensure that they have proper documentation. Any
Guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board
the vessel and no refund of cruise fare will be issued.
New security guidelines require all adult Guests to show a picture I.D. to
embark and disembark the ship in all ports, excluding Castaway Cay . Please
be advised that anyone under the age of 18 wishing to go ashore unaccompanied
will be required to have a consenting parent, guardian or other responsible
adult with them at the gangway, to provide their signature as authorization.
Required Documentation for non US or Canadian Citizens
All Guests who are not U.S. or Canadian citizens must have valid passports
and necessary visas at time of embarkation. Travel documents required throughout
the vacation are the responsibility of the Guest. Please consult with your
Travel Agent, government agencies, embassies or consulates to determine necessary
documentary requirements. For all non-U.S. citizens, including Canadian citizens,
travel documents will be collected at check-in by a Disney Cruise Line representative
and a receipt will be issued for presentation to Immigration Inspectors upon
return to Port Canaveral. Any Guest traveling without proper documentation
will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of cruise fare will
be issued.
Customs Regulations
U.S. customs regulations is often confusing
to people. As a rule of thumb, if your travel as taken you out
of the United States , you must declare all articles acquired during
your trip and in your possession at the time of your return.
This includes:
- Items that you purchased.
- Items purchased in duty-free shops or on board the ship.
- Items you have been requested to bring home for another person.
- Repairs or alterations made to any articles taken abroad and
returned, whether or not repairs or alterations were free of
charge.
- All items you intend to sell or use in your business. Promotional
items and samples for Customs purposes are only those items
that are valued at $1 or less.
- If you are celebrating any occasion on your cruise and have
gifts presented to you while abroad. These would be items such
as wedding and birthday presents or inherited items.
The limits to the amount of duty-free merchandise differs depending
on the cruise itinerary.
While on Disney Cruise, all Guests (one per family) must complete
a U.S. Customs Declaration Form to submit to U.S. Customs. Those
Guests (one per family) that have exceeded the Customs allowance
are required to submit a completed U.S. Customs Declaration Form
to Customs prior to debarkation. Specific times and locations will
be delivered to your stateroom the night before debarkation.
Customs Declaration Forms are also available in different languages
at the Guest Services Desk located on Deck 3, Mid-Ship. You will
be subject to additional fines if you fail to declare purchases
over the Customs allowance. U.S. Customs will continue to make
random inspections in the luggage hall area. These limits are mandated
by U.S. law and are subject to change.
