This is general terms for a specific cruise. They also have a section about US citizens on "Closed Loop" cruises that includes the following: "For Caribbean cruises, U.S. citizens must bring proper identification in the form of a U.S. passport or original or certified birth certificate with a raised seal along with a state or government issued photo identification." .... Tha is also the same information on the CBP.gov website about closed loop cruises, which states that you can travel with only a birth certificate. We also called the cruise 3 separate times to confirm that this is for sure ok, and they are good with it. Again, we do have passports, but out young child does not.

Hi, we have our first cruise (MSC) planned. My wife and I have passports but our 8 yr old does not. We have excursions planned (through the cruise site) at almost all ports of call, which are: Nassau, Ocean Maya, and Cozumel. Are we going to be able to go on those excursions with just the kids birth certificates, and our passports, or should we cancel the excursions? For more info, one of the Ocean Maya Mex, is a temple tour that is like 1+ hrs inland, and one in Cozumel is at a adventure park, my thought is that the Mex ones will be the more restrictive.
