Do you need a passport to cruise to Cozumel?

Question

The cruise line says you do not need a passport yet and they do not have a date that it will be required yet.

Answer 1

I don't know about Cozumel, but I've been to Tijuana, Mexico just outside of San Diego, Ca and I did not need a passport.

Answer 2

Even if you do not, re-entry to the US will go much more smoothly with it.

Answer 3

Passports are NOT yet needed to travel to and from Mexico by LAND or SEA.  That requirement has no set date, but will be after next summer.   See site below and read top half of the page carefully to see current info.  Now, some cruise lines lke their passengers to have passports, so it is wise to call them and ask.  See 2nd site for all passport info if you need that.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yes you do

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes you need a passport if you are going to step out of the ship,

Take a look at (Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry) :

http://www.sre.gob.mx/servicios/visas/ex...

(the link is in Spanish), but what it says is that citizens from Canada (among other countries) only need a passport and the filling of a form in your point of entry, --and 'probably' some proof of solvency (which is not the case if you are the passenger of a cruise liner).
