6rugrats Posted May 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2009 If your cruise is totally within the US and you are a US citizen, you don't need your passport. It's a good form of ID however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks travel wholly within the US(which includes the 50 states, PR and the Virgin islands) including on an American Flag ship doesn't need a passport. If however your plane has a stop in Canada or Mexico it is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcl410 Posted May 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Are you going on the NCL cruise around the Islands? Are you a US citizen, and flying to hawaii from the US mainland? If so then no passport/BC required. If you are doing a one way cruise to/from hawaii (from Ensenada or vancouver), then a passport will be required by US CBP after June 1,2009 for entry into the US.

satxdiver Posted May 2, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2009 According to the Jones Act, all ships that call only on USA ports must be flagged in the USA. Since very few if any cruise ships are flagged in the USA, I would assume that you indeed are calling on a foreign port (Mexico maybe?). In that case you will need your passport when you reenter the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, you are traveling within the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you will need your passport when you reenter the USA. The OP does not need a passport as he is cruising the Hawaiian islands, not visiting a foreign port and IS on a US flagged ship. Your info is misleading in this specific case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
