Important Info Affecting your Honeymoon!!!
I just booked our honeymoon cruise and on the homepage in red was the following announcement. It seems after 12/31/05, you will need a PASSPORT to travel, even to the Carribean or Bermuda.
Read on:
On Tuesday, April 5, 2005, the U.S. State Department announced details of the proposed "Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative." If the proposed rules are enacted, U.S. and Canadian citizens will be required to carry a passport for travel to or from certain countries/areas that were previously exempt. The proposed implementation is as follows:
* December 31, 2005 - Passport required for all air and sea travel to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
* December 31, 2006 - Passport required for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
* December 31, 2007 - Passport required for all air, sea and land border crossings.
Once the proposed rules are finalized - either in their current form or a modified form - the cruise industry will communicate that information to our travel agent partners and guests. In the meantime, individuals with future travel plans that would be affected by the proposed new rules are strongly encouraged to obtain a passport now.

Re: Important Info Affecting your Honeymoon!!!
Thanks for the info!! FH and I were trying to find ideas for our HM and we were thinking the Caribbean!! He has his passport, but I don't.
I think it's strange to need a passport for even Puerto Rico, considering it's a US commonwealth!!
Great, another thing on my to do list and more money I'll have to spend....

Thanks so much Cin for posting this!
Yes, you'll need a passport to travel to Aruba as well. Our travel agent told us that.

Re: Important Info Affecting your Honeymoon!!!
I thought you always needed a passport to travel outside of the US? I have always needed my passport to travel to Trinidad in the Caribbean.
