Creator's Key Takeaways

I have a passport that expires in a year, was told by Carnival I'd need one good for six months.

I was issued boarding documents I got it in my pocket right now still that allowed me to get on the ship.

Indonesia apparently doesn't accept emergency passports.

It's been an absolute nightmare.
