Carnival Cruise Line has released new passport rules for guests sailing to Panama. Uncategorized by Corey Grant - Travel Agent - November 17, 2024November 17, 20240 Did you know you don't necessarily need a passport to go on a cruise? While some itineraries, like one-way sailings from one U.S. port to another and international voyages, require a valid passport, some cruises permit a government-issued photo ID and a certified birth certificate copy as acceptable travel documentation. These include closed-loop (or round-trip) sailings from U.S. ports, such as a 7-night Caribbean cruise that begins and ends in Miami. Image Even though certain voyages don't require passports, it's advisable to have one handy. If something goes wrong—such as a medical emergency—and you must disembark in a foreign port of call, you can't fly back to the United States without one. Before your cruise, pay attention to any communication from your cruise line regarding valid travel

Venice has always had to coexist with the water that surrounds it and with the erosion that it causes especially to the banks. This is why the latter are protected by the white stone of Istria. In many cases, to expand the building areas, entire areas of the lagoon were filled. Before starting to build the buildings overlooking the canals, the Venetians planted wooden piles in the ground
