You really don't like any form of help outside of your question, do you? Jeez...recommending the search function was a great recommendation as this is addressed a lot and you probably would have found your answer immediately. Not everyone is out to get you, some people actually are attempting to help, it just goes slightly outside of the narrow question you asked.

Thats not how they had worded it. They worded it as if I didn’t know it existed which I do. Geez didn’t know this was a debate. I didn’t find my answer by doing that. so I turned to this thinking I would get a yes or no from someone who might have used a passport card not a lecture from people about flying internationally. God Bless

It gets you 1) one durable document that will stand up to water, etc., 2) the ability to cross land borders and to take closed loop and open jaw sailings involving Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean and Mexico, and 3) the State Department will already have all of your information in its database should you need their assistance. Of course all of those reasons aren't considerations for all travelers so each traveler needs to make up their own mind. 

 

OP, yes, you can use the passport card to board the ship and disembark at the end of the cruise. Only you can determine if you are comfortable with the small risk involved by not having a passport.

Thank you!

I have received help elsewhere with kinder people who have answered my question asked. A passport card is just fine. Thanks for all the unecessary comments.

The fact that OP seemed to feel that a passport card was somehow better than the proof of citizenship and ID required to get that passport card for a cruise to the Bahamas is reasonable evidence of of OP’s “... less than full posession of the facts...”  (your wording)  —-  and was therefore reason for giving helpful advice. There was clear indication that OP was not sufficiently  experienced to know that the additional volunteered information might be helpful.  A thoughtful contributor on these threads will consider a poster’s clearly apparent need for advice. 

 

OP’s aggressive rejection of such helpful advice is unfortunate — your support  of her hostility is curious.

Ok

And what happens if there is a medical emergency that requires you fly home from a port?

Its a simple question that requires a simple answer. I already understand about air travel. I don’t need information that was not asked.

US citizen? A passport "card" for any international flight Is worthless. Only a passport "book" is acceptable (I.e., "required" -not "recommended".)

That said, a passport card can be used for government ID on domestic US flights.

 

Also, should you decide to cruise on premium or luxury lines in the future, do know that most of them require all passengers on all itineraries to have a passport book.

I don’t need to fly international. Just going on a cruise international

Hi, for our cruise we are going to The Bahamas on Royal Caribbean. Nassau and Cococay to be specific.We decided to get a passport card. Is a passport card accepted when going to the Bahamas? I understand that a passport book is recommended if needed to fly. I just need to know if a passport card is accepted. Thanks!

We have 2 hours between flights. We also plan on taking carry on

 

It will cost us 600$ more and we really don’t have that kind of money. We also will only bring carry on and plan on getting an uber

We have 2 hours between flights. We also plan on taking carry on. My husband thinks we will be ok but I’m just not sure.

I am traveling from Wichita to dallas to miami on may 20th

Our flight is scheduled to arrive at 12:30p and our ship is set to sail at 4:30. We need to be onboard the ship by 3. Do you think that is enough time?

Our flight is scheduled to arrive at 12:30p and our cruise is scheduled to depart at 4:30 so we would need to be on the ship by 3. Do you think we would have enough time? From the airport to the port is about 25 minutes.
