    The cruise line might refuse to accept the passport even if it is perfectly fine for the border guards (which it should be, provided it is valid for at least three months after her return to Portugal). If the cruise line's published policies don't say, you should probably either get written confirmation from the cruise line or replace the passport.

    Are you a citizen of the EU or of an EEA country or Switzerland? Is her Portuguese residence card a "residence card of a family member of a union citizen"?

  • Since the cruise ends on the 2023-10-06, the cutoff date of the passport validity that they may be interested in would be 2025-01-06. (Schengen Border Code Article 6 (Entry conditions for third-country nationals) (1)(a)(i): its [valid travel document] validity shall extend at least three months after the intended date of departure from the territory of the Member States.) The Norwegian Cruise Line faq site makes no meantion of a 3 (or 6) months of remaining validity of a passport, only that a passport is required by non EU citizens.

    Does the cursive have other stops than those on your own itinerary which would be outside Schengen? If not, they probably won’t check anything at all about visa status and related things like time left in the passport validity. But isn’t it just easier to renew the passport before then?
