Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm glad they asked because my answer of course is it is never a good idea to travel without your passport.

Even on a closed loop sailing where it's technically okay to do so, it's a very bad idea.

All you need is for weather to come up or some small engine problem and then if if there's a deviation in the itinerary at all, you could end up in a port of call where you need your passport or you need to disembark the ship.

I recommend never sailing without a passport.

While sailing aboard @msccruisesofficial I filmed a quick tip that still feels worth sharing. I sometimes get asked by Americans without passports if I recommend a 'closed loop' cruise that starts and returns to the US... so they don't need a passport. In these cases, I don't play Your Cruise Match Maker and recommend a cruise. Here's why. #WorldsGreatestCruises #CruiseTravel
