Even if this is not the first time you have taken a Western Caribbean cruise, you may still need to make copies of all the necessary documentation that is required by law to be registered by the cruise liners, because of the change in travel laws in 2008. It’s a wise idea to be sure to request the full list of documentation and requirements for travel from the cruise operator before you book your cabin to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Depending on when and where you are traveling, there may also be health considerations to address. For instance, if you will be journeying into a densely tropical area where you run the risk of exposure to animals or insects, you may want to discuss the need for vaccinations with your physician.
