Passports

frostyboy64 · February 12, 2014

I have a friend that wants to go on a cruise with me with his family in two weeks but no one has a passport? It is a 7 day cruise to the eastern Caribbean. Have they changed the passport rules

or can you go with just your license like old times?

As long as it's a closed-loop cruise, meaning it departs from and returns to the same port, you can cruise with just your valid driver's license or state-issued i.d., and a certified copy of your birth certificate.

Hope this helps!

Just to add to what Gina said ... it won't be a problem in a closed-loop cruise, leaving and arriving from the same US port. The problem comes in if you suddenly need to fly home from a port of call outside the U.S. due to an emergency. You would need a passport to fly back into the US.
