Should've applied for your passport earlier.. Oh well, mistakes happen.

YDI for not paying for expedited passport service. You can get a passport in a matter of a few days if you go to a US passport office and show proof of imminent travel and pay an extra fee.

Well at least u missed getting there in time for the cruise....

You do know that you could have got them to rush it!... It can be done within hours!

If you set up an appointment and prove you're leaving within 7 days, you can get your passport in one day. I did it. YDI for not preparing. Can't imagine what horrible mistakes you would have made in Italy.

I don't know about in the US but on UK passport forms they do tell you not to book any travel before you get the passport.

YDI. They are very clear about the wait time on passports at every step of the process.

Last I checked, there are more than just one flight to Italy.

I completely relate. I was supposed to go on a school trip to Barcelona on March but I couldn't because I didn't have a valid passport. I tried to get a passport last year and expected it on December but the passport was being a bitch about it. The day after they left for Barcelona, my passport arrived in the mail... I fully paid and the insurance office is being lazy about our money back, we sent an insurance firm by registered mail so they definitely had received it...
