If you are a US citizen and the ship departs and returns from a port in the US, you can cruise to the Bahamas, or throughout the Caribbean, with a certified copy of your birth certificate (raised seal) and a government issued photo ID (drivers license). You will not need a passport. If you are flying to any location outside the United States to board the ship, you will need a passport.

Do I Need A Passport For A Carnival Cruise To The Cay Men Islands and Cozumel?

The Department of Homeland Security issued the final regulations on passport requirements on March 27, 2008. Effective June 1, 2009, if you are a US citizen and taking a cruise that departs from and returns to the same US port, you do not need a passport (but you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate or naturalization papers and a government-issued photo ID). Before June 1, 2009, you do not need a passport if you are a US citizen and are traveling to the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada by sea. (You can depart and return to different US ports -- passports are required for travel by air to anywhere outside the United States).

Do you need a passport to cruise to Mexico from the US?

If you are a US citizen, you will not need a passport for travel by sea to Mexico (and also the Caribbean and Canada) until June 2009. If your cruise begins and ends in the same US port, you will not need a passport even after this date. Required documentation is a certified birth certificate (with a raised seal) or naturalization papers and a government-issued photo ID, such as a drivers license.

Is a passport necessary for a cruise to Mexico leaving from California in March 2009 or will a certified birth certificate work?

In March, '09, a U.S. citizen could still get by with a birth certificate (and accompanying documents reflecting any name change). Now, in the fall of '09, a valid U.S. passport is required. OR, go to the post office and apply for a "passport card." The card is good for U.S. citizens returning from Mexico, Canada, or Caribbean destinations. This is cheaper than a regular passport, mailed to you within a week, and they take your photo right there at the post office!
