If you are a US citizen and plan to cruise before fall 2008, you need either a certified copy of your birth certificate (with the raised seal) and a government-issued photo ID or a valid passport.
Implementation of the requirements for a passport for travel by land and sea have been delayed because the government cannot keep up with the demand for passports.
If you are not a US citizen, you will need a valid passport to enter the Bahamas and gain re-entry to the US (this applies to permanent legal residents with a green card).
