Charlie, you don't need it, as you can make use of the 24 hour free transit.

I was asking because I had seen a number 0f comments that it had to be airline to airline transits not airline to cruise ship. Do you know where I could find that in some official publication? Thanks

Airline to airline transit requirement is for 72 hour free transit, not for 24 hour direct transit. The 24 hour direct transit policy is available in airports as well as other ports.

OK Rick, I'll give it a shot. Hope they let me out of the airport to go to the dock. Thanks
