They took my Passport from Me

Editorial Summary

The creator provides several updates regarding his current cruise on the Regal Princess. He begins by discussing challenges with the e-muster program, noting that many passengers failed to complete their safety drills by the time the ship was scheduled to depart. He emphasizes the importance of completing these drills early to assist the cruising community. The creator also explains why the ship experienced an unexpected sea day instead of visiting Guernsey. He describes how high winds prevented the pilot from boarding the vessel, making the scheduled port visit impossible. Finally, he addresses the seizure of his passport by the cruise line. He explains that for certain ports in Ireland, the cruise line requires passengers to surrender their passports so they can be presented to immigration officials all at once. He notes that he received a receipt for the document and expects to have it returned by the eighth day of the cruise. He also recommends obtaining a passport card as a secondary form of identification for future travel.
