If you are a US citizen, and you are sailing to and from a US port, you will never need a passport for a cruise. They have made a permanent exception to the rule for cruisers who fit this description.
US citizens sailing to and from a US port will not need a passport for a cruise. You will only need a driver's license or photo ID and a state-issued copy of your birth certificate.
If you're a US citizen and planning to cruise 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 should announce the new date for passport requirements later this spring.
If you are a US citizen and plan to cruise before summer 2008, you do not need a passport to travel by sea (cruise) to the Bahamas, Mexico or the Caribbean. The Department of Homeland security extended the deadline for requiring passports for land and sea travel to ease the demand (and subsequent backlog) for passports. The new deadline for requiring passports will be announced this spring.
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.
I've been wondering this myself and found info on this website: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html Looks like the answer for April 2008 would be no, you don't HAVE to have one, but they advise one in cause of emergency. We are going on a cruise in March 2008 and I think I'll be getting them for my family.
Many cruise lines do not require a passport (or passport number) until you arrive at the pier; (most, however, require you to complete pre-boarding information on line to expedite your embarkation process). Therefore, you should have plenty of time to apply for a passport once you have selected your cruise. Depending on where and when you plan to cruise, you may not need a passport -- but it is a good idea to get one as soon as possible to be prepared for future travel! The requirements for passports for land and sea travel have been extended to summer 2008. If you are planning to cruise to the Caribbean, Mexico, the Bahamas or Canada (for most Alaska cruises) before then, you will not need a passport and can travel with a certified birth certificate and a government issued photo ID. Happy Sailing!

The Department of Homeland Security extended the deadline for passport requirements for US citizens to Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada and the Bahamas. Until some time in summer 2008, all that is required for travel by boat (or by land) is a certified copy of a birth certificate and a government-issued photo id (such as a school ID).
