Creator's Key Takeaways

Well, what was supposed to be a wonderful Christmas holiday vacation on Norwegian Cruise Line turned into a nightmare for two couples, a related family, parents, uh, and kids.

The trouble is that their two of the passengers were permanent residences and they needed to have their green card or ark card, alien residence card and uh they didn't have it physically on them.

Unfortunately, the rules and that doesn't seem to be on their side.

I'm warning everybody out there, just do a Google search, type in your information, where you're going, and I guarantee you it'll come up with the information.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always research required documentation for your destination, even if not explicitly stated by the cruise line or travel agent.
Carry your green card at all times, as required by federal law, especially when traveling internationally.
Perform a simple Google search for travel requirements before your trip to avoid being denied boarding.
