I'm wanting to take my both grandmas on a cruise this year! One's in her 90's the other in her 80's. How long does it take to get a passport(neither of them have one) and any suggestions on cruises? Thanks 4951

@cat personI actually just had my Passport done at the Huffman Post Office....(I just figured they would be less busy there, and they take appointments...)Best to pick up the Passport form ahead of time and have it all filed out ....They'll need their birth certificates - and will have to have their photo ID with them.....It was $110 (for the Passport) and an additional $40 (for the photo and the Passport application fee)....  Two separate checks are required...  One for each fee.....And they (or you) will need to pay for each person separately - You will not be able to just write one check for everybody....You can only pay by personal check or cashiers check..... ....And I was told that my Passport should arrive in 3 - 4 weeks....Hope this helps! 4951

If you are cruising in and out of a US Port a passport is not required.  They suggest a passport but you can use your birth certificate and drivers license if they don't want to spend the money for a passport.  4951

That be great not having to get a passport honestly I doubt either one would use it again. Unless they both fall in love with cruising and decide to sail around the world! 4951

One thing I learned on my cruise last week - by accident.I was booked to a handicap room.  It was so roomy and had no step into the room or into the bathroom and no step inot the shower.  The doors were wider to accomodate a wheelchair and of course the bathroom had a seat and bar in the shower and was double the size of a normal one.  Be sure to ask for a cabin for handicap.  4951

The only thing to remember about cruising and not having a passport is, if there is a problem on the boat or you get sick you cannot be flown back into to the country unless you have a passport.  We got our pictures taken at CVS and they were less than $15.  I think they were about half what the post office charged. 4951

I got my picture taken at CVS for 11 and if you go to the web site they have a 2 dollar coupon, so it only came out to 9+tax.
 
I went to The post office off of 59 in Montgomery county. Had an appointment and was out of there in just under 30 min. I had to expidit my application so I had to pay for all the red tape to the tune of 200+dollars. 4951
