The US Virgin islands are a territory of the United States, and do not need AP to visit. Just make sure that you have direct flights to and from them, and do not visit neighboring islands that are not part of the U.S.V.I. You Can also visit Puerto Rico.

Cruses tend to be not a good idea if the ship visits ports that are not part of the USA, AP and a passport are required.

Have a nice honeymoon.

VIRGIN ISLANDS (U.S.A.) (VI)

Entry regulations same as for the U.S.A.

If arriving directly from U.S. mainland, Alaska or Puerto Rico:

no entry documents required due to no immigration control.

Cruises are not a good idea. Make sure you stay in the USVI and not the BVI....

YMMV

A big NO on a cruise... you are considered to have left the US the second you step onto a foreign registered vessel. Since almost all cruise ships are foreign registered, you will have been deemed to have left the US...

You can't even take a cruise directly from Miami to the USVI... you will have been considered to have left the US and will have to go through Immigration Control...
