I think it is because the cruise stops in Vancouver British Columbia?

OFF TOPIC REPLY....... The site is wonky as my first post/reply came back in HTML code

Whoo Hoo Louise an Alaskan cruise is WONDERFUL!!!! Even for those of us that live or lived in Colorado where winters can be long.....Alaska is a cruise that WILL take your breath away!

We are certified cruise junkies with 34 under our belts and Alaska is one of our favorites, the South Pacific is my first favorite ah Tahiti.

I'm almost certain that most cruise lines require passports now as the preferred identification. The only way to know for sure is to either read your particular Cruise lines guidelines which will super cede any other information about what ID is appropriate or accepted by a particular cruise line or rely on the travel agency you are booking with....you don't want to get to the ship and find that your cruise line requires a certain type of ID that you aren't prepared to show.

Most cruises to Alaska do make a stop in BC as another person replied. Don't delay in getting the passport applied for, especially if this is your first time getting a passport..... sometimes it can take 6-12 weeks. Walgreens take the passport pictures as I'm sure other places do as well.

Forewarning Passport pictures are worse than drivers license pictures :0) When you leave the ship should you be in an US port and don't want to carry it.... lock that passport up in the safe...it is more valuable than gold and very attractive to thieves.

Send a PM if you'd like some names of friends of ours who run whale watching out of Juneau. Also will share if you want some great shore excursions at different ports. You're going to love cruising Alaska truly your heart will be singing "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL!"
