Yes you will need a passport if the sailing is after June 2009. But if you are traveling before that you can still use your birth certificate.
Usually for any type of cruise you need a passport, especially if you plan on getting off the cruise when it ports to look around the certain locations. However if the cruise is just around the US, or another country where you are a native, then a passport would not be required.
You will normally require a passport to leave and re enter your home country, and to visit any countries whilst on the cruise.
Yes, any out of country travel now requires a passport
yes any cruise that goes out of the U.S
You do not say where you journey begins, however generally speaking, you will need your passport to get home and to enter any other country.
If you are a US citizen, and the cruise ship departs and returns to the same US port, you will not need a passport to go on the cruise - as long as the cruise ship does not stop in any countries that require a passport for US citizens. If the ship is only cruising in Mexico, and returns to the same port from which it departed, you can board the ship with a certified copy of your birth certificate and a government issued photo id. It is much better, however, to have a passport. If, for example, there is an emergency and you have to leave the ship and fly home from Mexico, you will need a passport.

Are you American? Then you'd need transport visa if you want to cross the Canadian borders. You don't need any passport if you want to go from Texas to Alaska on plane :)
With the U.S.'s new restrictions, you need a passport any time you leave the country. You'll want the birth certificate to get the passport, though, so in a sense you do use it to go on a cruise.
Cruise Ships are like any other vacation spot. Instead of doing it on land, people do it on the ships.
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. And if you are not a US citizen, you will need a passport and may need a Visa to enter the Bahamas.
