Cruise guests and visitors age 18 and older must provide a government-issued photo ID (such as a current driver's license or passport) at any of the Port's Security Checkpoints, along with your cruise documents.
For security purposes, cruise guests may be subject to periodic vehicle screening upon arrival at any Security Checkpoints.
Cruise guests have access to the cruise area only. Roaming through the Port is prohibited.
Cruise guests arriving by personal car will receive a placard to be placed on the rear-view mirror or on the driver's side dashboard - unobstructed and visible for inspection.
Do not leave vehicles unattended in "No Parking" zones, fire lanes or passenger drop-off areas.
