Grandeur of the Seas
Repositioning Cruise

We have booked group space on a repositioning sailing of Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas for 2008. This special 8-night Caribbean sailing leaves San Juan, Puerto Rico, on April 19, 2008, and visits St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Tortola, CocoCay - Royal Caribbean's private island, and Grand Bahama Island before returning to Baltimore on April 27, 2008.

Cruise-only prices range from $602.02 for an inside cabin to $702.22 and up for an ocean view cabin. With rates like these, space will disappear quickly so please call and book early.

Further information will be available on March 1 on our website at http://www.antietamtravel.com/specials/.

 

U.S. Passport Update

We strongly recommend that our clients obtain a passport as soon as possible, due to new requirements from the U.S. Department of State, if they intend to travel between the U.S. and the Western Hemisphere in 2007 and beyond.

Since January 23, 2007, U.S. citizens traveling by air between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda have been required to present a valid U.S. passport to re-enter the U.S. This new requirement means that travelers will soon need a passport to go anywhere outside the United States.

It is anticipated that by January 1, 2008, U.S. citizens traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries), will be required to present a valid U.S. passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. Under a new proposed rule, however, U.S. and Canadian children 15 years and younger, with parental consent, would be permitted to enter the U.S. by land or sea with a certified copy of their birth certificate. A similar waiver as been proposed for U.S. and Canadian citizens ages 16 through 18 traveling with public or private school groups, religious groups, social or cultural organizations, or youth athletic teams.

If you need forms, please stop by our office at 2190 Old Farm Drive. We will be happy to help.
