Just an aside to that topic… So many posts on the cruise forums and Facebook forums from inexperienced travelers stating that if anyone is not BOB at time of sailing, the ship staff goes to the passenger’s cabin, searches the room and safe for their passport(s), and delivers them to the port authority as the ship is departing… I think they are dreaming…or perhaps that happens sometimes, or only for those on the cruise line excursions.Unfortunately newer cruisers rely on this “information”… We’ve read of passengers being left with no original passport (just a photocopy or e-copy as folks think that is all they need), and having to stay in that destination until they can get help to get home. Those who carry their passport can get a flight to the next port of course.
