Passport Book or Passport Card

[luvjftffc]

Has anyone used the new Passport Card as a way to get on the ship? I was just wondering if RCCL accepts these?

My understanding is that they only became available on Feb. 1... so I doubt anyone has one yet...

 

They are supposedly acceptable for cruise travel.

Applications became available Feb. 1, but the actual cards are not going to be issued until sometime 'this spring', so nobody has one yet. But I agree with amybear that they will be acceptable proof of both citizenship and ID for cruises.

Applications are currently being accepted but production has not yet begun. The cards will be used primarily for Canadian and Mexican border crossings. They can be used for cruise travel but I would not recommend it. If there is an emercency situation and you must fly you will need your book.
