pinkiek Posted June 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi: I was trying to log my mother in law in for upcoming cruise and there was no option for enhanced drivers license. It is a NY license and we are traveling on the Jewel from Seattle to Alaska and Canada. Does she also need her birth certificate? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail-s Posted June 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure you also need your birth certificate or a passport. I'd google travelling from the US to Canada and confirm what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand that enhanced drivers license is only good for land crossings. Where I live i can't use an enhanced D.L. for cruising or flying.

ltjn Posted June 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2015 You may want to look at the link from DHS regarding enhanced licenses: http://www.dhs.gov/enhanced-drivers-licenses-what-are-they Also, check US Customs and Border Protection about using enhanced licenses for cruises.

brookie848 Posted June 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My in-laws used an Enhanced Driver's License for their Panama Canal Cruise on HAL a few years ago. I'm not certain if they also took their birth certificates or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a NY license and we are traveling on the Jewel from Seattle to Alaska and Canada. Does she also need her birth certificate? Thanks EDL's are valid for closed loop and open jaw sailings within the Western Hemisphere and are similar to passport cards as they prove both citizenship and identity. She does not need her birth certificate. That's what we checked in the online checkin page because they don't have an EDL option but all we showed when we checked in at the pier was our EDL. She will also be able to cross the land border with it for excursions. The only thing she can't use it for is international air travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nw gardener Posted June 24, 2015 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I live in Wa state and have an enhanced DL and use it on my AK cruises with no problem, it is fine for boat, train, car travel with Canada, not for air travel. I have been able to check in online with NCL previously and there was a spot for the DL number in lieu of the passport number [unless NCL changed that].

TardisDance Posted June 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I live in Wa state and have an enhanced DL and use it on my AK cruises with no problem, it is fine for boat, train, car travel with Canada, not for air travel. I have been able to check in online with NCL previously and there was a spot for the DL number in lieu of the passport number [unless NCL changed that]. There isn't a spot, but when I called NCL, they told me to enter my drivers license number under the passport number field. I have a NY EDL and was fine checking in at the Manhattan cruise terminal. I was going on the BA to Bermuda. The only thing extra I had to do was fill out a waiver acknowledging that if I missed the ship at a port, I'm basically screwed. I'm surprised NCL hasn't added the option yet. One of my co-workers uses RCCL and said that they have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
