I thought I heard that now you did, but am not sure. Also, how long does it take to get one? Thanks!

I pretty sure you do need one now. Call the airline, they will let you know.

I think you can get one in a day if you go to NYC. If not, I believe you can pay extra and have it in 30 days.

When we were going on our cruise, I checked into it and for the Carribean it was supposed to go into effect Jan 1 2006 that you needed it, but they pushed it back to Jan 1 2007.
I think you can even check on the passport website somewhere.

Re: Do you need a passport for Aruba?

You can still travel to Aruba without a passport...you do need a certified copy of your birth certificate though.

Here is the information

My Dh and I went to Aruba in October and he had a passport and I didnt and it was much easier for him to get through customs than me.

My advice, if you have time, get a passport!!

We were in Aruba at the end of January. We had passports and I think it makes everything easier. I believe they have extended that you can still go with your birth certificate but if you have time, if I were you, I'd travel with the passport better.
You are going to have sooo much fun. Aruba is just beautiful...breathtaking.....
You should rent a jeep and tour the whole island.....we did that and it was great.Chat Icon



Thanks! I am very excited to go, I have wanted to for awhile now. We are looking to go for my DH's 30th in May, can't wait!

You are going to love it. They have like Perfect Weather all the time...sunny...no humidity...and the island is beautiful. And there's so much to do if you like and none at all if you don't.....Chat Icon
Where are you staying?




We are going to stay at the Marriott, we have points there through a credit card, so we will get some nights for free which is great!

Re: Do you need a passport for Aruba?

they changed it

I went to Mexico with my BC and had NO problems

they thought it would hurt the tourism for these countries and they are right- b/c they are not advertsing it and making a big deal
