The birth certificate does not have to be the original copy. If you do not have an original copy, you can get a certified copy from whatever jurisdiction issued the original. We had to do this when DW's Mom threw out the original and mailed her the hospital copy, a copy that will not suffice as proof of identity.

I should’ve added certified. When our kids were little we made several photocopies of their birth certificates for sports, they wouldn’t be valid for cruising.

A passport must be good six months past the end date of your cruise to be used for a cruise.    

For certain countries, but not for most cruises.

Agreed, however, there are counties with a 3 or 6 month(s) or no requirement.  However, per CCL document requirements if using a passport "The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel." as previously posted in the thread.  I would not want to be the test subject to CCL rules and possibility get denied boarding if a passport that expires within 6 months of my cruise.

Bad advice! A passport is invalid upon expiration, and an expired passport alone cannot be used to board a cruise.

 Which is why the comment specifically said “unexpired.”
