YouTube Video Description

New travel rules and requirements are coming into affect in early to mid 2025. If you're flying to your cruise port, it's important to be aware of the various updates. In this video I go over changes to international as well as domestic air travel, which is important for cruise travelers. I also go over changes in carry-on luggage rules for one airline, significant to many cruisers, as well as a positive update for travelers who may have lost luggage. UK ETA is 10 £ (not Euros) If you're going on a Mediterranean cruise in 2025 which departs from a country within the EU, or a British Isles or other cruise that leaves from the UK, you'll learn about both the ETIAS & UK ETA. We also go over information for US travelers who will need Real ID for domestic air travel. If you are wondering if you need a passport to cruise, I share information about the requirements, as well as passport travel rules.
