However, please contact your cruise line with your itinerary to confirm that, as they have final authority over whether or not you get on the boat. Have a great trip! Hi Manny,

As long as the cruise begins and ends at the same US port, you should be all right with a driver’s license and birth certificate. However, please contact your cruise line with your itinerary to confirm that, as they have final authority over whether or not you get on the boat.

Have a great trip!

I'm planning to go to Cruise (to Bahamas) later this year. I'm leaving from port Canaveral. I spoke with my cruise on couple of occasions and I was told different things. First, I was assured that I do not need any visa but on second occasion I was told that they can not have final answer on my case. Please advise if I need Visa. Thanks in advance Hi,

Since you're under 16, all you need is a birth certificate. That said, please contact your cruise line and ask what their requirements are. Have a great trip! Hi Brandon,

However, if she has a passport it would be better because it would make it easier to come home in an emergency or to catch a plane to the next port if she misses the cruise ship (you have to have a passport to fly to the Bahamas). Also, I would actually call the cruise line and ask what she needs to board the ship -they are the final authority on whether or not she gets on the boat. Hope this helps! Hi Lisa,
