Best Answer

If you are a US citizen (this does not apply to permanent residents) you do not need a passport to cruise from the US to the Bahamas until some time in Summer 2008.

You do, however, need a certified copy of your birth certificate and a government-issued photo ID.

According to the U.S. State Department:The U.S. Passport Card can be used to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda at land border crossings or sea ports-of-entry and is more convenient and less expensive than a passport book. The passport card cannot be used for international travel by air.So if you are going to the Bahamas by boat, you can use a Passport Card, but not if you are flying.

If you're a US citizen and planning to cruise -- on a large cruise ship or even a small sailboat -- to the Bahamas before summer 2008, you do not need a passport. You can also cruise to the Caribbean (except Barbados), Mexico and Canada (for most Alaskan cruises) without a passport. The Department of Homeland security plans to announce the new date for requiring passports for all travel outside the US later this spring.

Do you need a passport to travel to Mexico on the bus?

Yes, you need a passport to cross the U.S. border. If you are traveling by land or by sea, you can use a passport card, which is similar in size to a driver's license. If you are traveling by air, you must use a traditional passport. Considering the fact that a bus will take between 27 to 45 hours to reach Cancun (from the US-Mexico border), I guess your best bet is to take a flight; to board an international flight, you will need your passport.


How long does it take to sail from Florida to Cancun Mexico?

The amount of time it takes to sail the 550 miles to Cancun Mexico from Florida depends on many different factors. The size of the boat, the average speed it travels, where in Florida the boat is leaving from and the wind factors. A boat traveling about an average of five knots would take about five days to reach Cancun.
