Out of San Juan question

[Cookson]

I know flying to Puerto Rico you don’t need a passport(my wife and I have one anyway) but we are bringing our 9 year old. Flying is the same... no needed documents for him to fly to or from. Is this the same for a cruise departing San Juan and visiting other Caribbean island? I know we need to bring his birth certificate but he doesn’t have a passport... making sure he’ll be all good to go with just the birth certificate. Is a closed loop cruise. Carnival Fascination in September.

Yes. Everything is the same as far as those rules go.

Here is the rules per Carnival.  Since your son is under 16, you only are required to bring the birth certificate.

 

AND

Photo Identification

A non-expired government-issued photo I.D. is required of all guests 16 years of age and older. The following are acceptable:

• Driver's License (a temporary Driver's License withphoto is acceptable)
• Driver's Permit
• School/Student I.D. (acceptable for guests 16/17/18 years of age)
• Government-issued identification card (city/state/federal)

Sailing out of San Juan is awesome.

Yes, birth certificate is all he needs.  We sailed that cruise years ago, from San Juan on the Victory.  We took my son, he was a little younger, but it was very nice.  Have an awesome time.
