FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
We recommend booking your travel as early as possible to take advantage of the best rates! Kindly RSVP by March 1st to help us plan everything with care. We understand that having a destination wedding means some of our loved ones may not be able to attend. If you already know whether or not you'll be joining us, please let us know as soon as you can—this will allow us to extend invitations to others we’d love to celebrate with if space becomes available.
Question
When should I arrive to Vieques?
Answer
You’re welcome to arrive whenever you'd like, but we recommend getting in by Friday to settle in. If that’s not possible, try to be here by Saturday at the latest to avoid any travel hiccups, especially since the last ferry from Ceiba to Vieques leaves at 8:00 PM.
Question
Do I need a passport?
Answer
No passport needed! Since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, all you’ll need is a valid REAL ID.
Question
Time zone difference?
Answer
Puerto Rico doesn’t observe daylight savings time, so it will be one hour behind Central Time.
Question
Cash or card?

Most places on the island accept cards, but some taxis and spots may not, so it’s a good idea to have some cash just in case. No worries if you forget, there are ATMs on the island!
