STATE DEPARTMENT RAISED PASSPORT, VISA & OTHER FEES

Please be aware that the U.S. State Department implemented a price increase 
on July 13, 2010, for visas, passports and other consular services. For an 
adult passport, the State Department will begin charging $110 ($35 more than 
the current price,) plus a $25 execution fee. The cost for some visas has 
also increased.

As a reminder, passports are not required for U.S. citizens on closed-loop 
cruises that begin and end in the same port; however passports are strongly 
recommended that my clients obtain a passport in case they unexpectedly need 
to leave the ship mid-cruise, get hurt and need medical attention on the 
island, or need to be flown home. Click here to review the full article on 
travel documentation requirements which appeared in the January/February 
edition of "Onboard with Carnival." To visit the official website with

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
