I'm not sure why you're so bothered about additional details, and negatively responding to others providing advice. I didn't mention traveling alone with minors, because I'm not. All relative details were provided. I mentioned wanting advice from others who have experienced this. I do not intend on traveling without my passport. I was wanting to know for worst case scenario if for some reason I could not obtain my passport in time. I did contact Princess about 6 times and received mixed answers. According to the website, I should be fine. I was just wanting confirmation. I did my research, and this website seemed much less judgy than reddit, fb, etc. So I decided to ask. This is my first cruise.

Thank you! And yes I plan to get a passport regardless. This cruise was a last minute decision. I don't want not having it to stop me from being able to travel, and I'd just feel more secure having it.

I am a US citizen

I didn't even think of that. I'll add it to my original post. Thank you!

I'll start by saying, yes, I understand a passport is the safest way to travel. I'd like to hear from people who gave cruised without it or have experience dealing with something similar. I just booked My cruise 61 days prior to embarkation and was under the impression that I would need just my birth certificate and my drivers license. Immediately after booking and paying for the cruise, I ordered a copy of my birth certificate. Then I started wondering if it would in fact be enough. Princess customer service is ZERO help. I'm stressed and really not wanting to cancel my anniversary trip due to this. It's a closed loop cruise with stops in Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Roatan. I am absolutely going to try to get my passport in time. I'd just like to know if I didn't have it in time, would my birth certificate and drivers license work?
