First off, this site is amazing! This site guided me and my fiance through the K-1 process..She is here in the States now and we have been married since March 13, 2019! 

  

  

 

On a side note,  Just married for 4 months, I'd blow off the cruise and spend time with my new bride unless it is mandatory that  you go.

Good idea, tell you what OP. I'll trade you, you can bring your wife to Vegas, stay in my house, use my car for 4 days, and I'll take my wife on your cruise. Every body wins. I get a cruise, you get a Vegas vacation.

Quoting from this article

 

1. US Citizens

 

"U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises will be able to enter or depart the country with proof of citizenship, such as an Enhanced Driver's License (EDL), a government-issued birth certificate (issued by the Vital Records Department in the state where he or she was born) or passport, and if 16 or older, a government issued driver's license, picture ID, denoting photo, name and date of birth."

 

2. LPR

 

"If you are a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) of the U.S., the U.S. government does not require you to have a passport for any travel, including air, land or sea travel, however, you are even more likely to be required by your destination country to have one. A Caribbean island that does not require a U.S. Citizen to have a passport may require a U.S. LPR to have one, and a visa as well. An LPR is required to present an I-551 (Green Card) for reentry into the U.S."

 

3. Non USC, Non LPR

 

"If you are not a U.S. citizen or a U.S. LPR, you will need a passport and/or the appropriate documentation based on the status you are seeking in the U.S. for any type of cruise, closed loop or not."

I would not try because if the ship gets into international waters she will already lose her status I think same for Mexico. When I went on a cruise I had to go trough customs very similar as the one from the airport again getting out of the ship.

Yep, I wouldn't want my wife to be in an episode of Locked Up Abroad))))

Just to be pedantic :) The international waters start at exactly 13.8 miles :) That's when you leave United States.

22km or 12 nautical miles = 13.8 miles :)

Just wait it out and that's it.. Why risk? USA probably at the top of "things to see/do inside the country". NYC, Vegas, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Niagara Falls, Florida, Washington DC. Anything you want is here.

Want to lay on a beach all day having drinks? Miami, Carolinas or LA

Sightseeing? NYC, LA, Boston, Chicago.

Hiking? Grand Canyon.

Casinos, Hotels? Las Vegas, Atlantic City.

History, Politics, Museums? Washington DC, Philly area.

Mountains, Skiing, Snow? Colorado

 

We don't travel much cause saving up for a house, but we live in NJ. There is so many things to see in NJ,NY,PA,CT area it's insane. I'm not sure about your area, but you can travel within USA and see so many things while waiting, that i think is crazy to risk. Have an adventure within USA, once you get AP, go outside. Thats my opinion.

Laughing at the comments....Locked up abroad...hahahahah. Yeh, not how I imagined our first ever time on t.v. 🤣

 

  Our company takes our top customers on trips each year and I'm the only employee who hasnt been on one of these trips so I'm having to go this year. However, the Vegas offer is intriguing! 🎰
