Port Security Requirements - Port of Key West

Passengers

• All passengers must have photo identification (passport or drivers license) along with their cruise card in order to pass through pier security and return to the ship.
• All non-US passengers must have their passport or a photocopy of the photo page of the passport.

Crew

• All crew will need their crew I.D. and photo identification.
• All non-US crew must also carry their I-95's. (USINS randomly checks and will fine for this if not followed)

Luggage

• If there is luggage arriving, ship's security will have to inspect the luggage by opening it at the security checkpoint on the pier before it is allowed onboard the ship.

Visitors

• If you have any passenger / technicians / visitors / wedding visitors / crew / or anyone who is expected to board the ship while in Key West, please provide a list of their names to the agent who boards (or by email prior) so that it can be given to port security. This enables pier security to let the person pass through to the gangway.

Vehicles

• No vehicles are allowed on the piers without advance authorization. Truck deliveries should be requested in advance. Driver information must be provided well in advance in order to allow time for background checks. All vehicles are subject to search prior to entry into the secure area.
