Do I need a passport to cruise?
As of right now, all one needs to cruise from the United States is a certified birth certificate and a government issued identification card or driver’s license. This is only the case if you are taking a “closed-loop” cruise. This means the cruise begins and ends in the United States. It is much easier to travel with a passport and the government is coming closer and closer to a hard deadline requiring all travelers to carry a passport. Another benefit to traveling with a passport is on case of emergency. For instance, if you are in the Bahamas and urgent circumstances require you to end your cruise early, you will run into problems getting back to the U.S. without a passport. We strongly recommend a passport, but we don’t require it.
