vicann327 Posted January 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hello! I am a bit confused on this information. My passport renewal is delayed and I am unsure if it will arrive in time. Traveling in a couple of weeks on Carnival out/in Miami, FL and ports of call are Aruba, Bonaire, Amber Cove/LaRomana. I know I don't need a passport in Miami, and it seems I don't any any of these ports, but it is unclear and the Carnival rep told me to research. Any feedback much appreciated!

You don’t need a passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, to board the ship you either need a official, raised seal type birth certificate AND a government issued photo ID, or a passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you're a US citizen you can take your cruise with an official birth certificate and government-issued photo ID such as a drivers license in lieu of a passport. None of the ports on your itinerary require you to take a passport ashore. When going ashore you'll need the ship's room key card that you'll receive when you check in at the pier in Miami and your photo ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it's an official government-issued BC, as opposed to a hospital-issued certificate, it's valid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted February 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2023 You'll need your ship ID to leave for all ports. A few ports require a picture ID (as the port officials can't see the picture the ship people can), but that can be a driver's license or whatever.
