Cruising outside of the U.S.
Posted date : May 10, 2023.
I arrived in the U.S. on Oct 28, 2022 and will arrive back in Canada on April 4, 2023. While in the U.S., I took a 15-day Panama Canal cruise departing from L.A. and arriving back in Miami. Does the 15 days I was on the cruise count towards the total number of days allowed in the U.S.?

Ed.: Since your cruise departed from and returned to a port in the United States, it is treated as a temporary absence from your primary “visit,” and you must count the entire cruise trip as “days in the U.S.”
