CanadaJulie Posted August 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We all have passports but I'd prefer to not bring them with us on shore. All the adults have Govt photo ID but the kids who are 14-16 do not. What kind of ID is required for kids to re-board the ship in Bermuda ?

bluesea777 Posted August 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2015 How about a colour photocopy of the passport page with picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaJulie Posted August 15, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted August 15, 2015 How about a colour photocopy of the passport page with picture? I do have that but I wonder if it's "official" enough ? Kids in Canada don't have Gov't photo ID until they turn 16 *and* get a learner's permit. My daughter (16) got hers done but all the other kids are 14-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starflyr3 Posted August 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2015 dont you just need your ship card??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksimpso3 Posted August 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yes. All you need to get back on ship is your stateroom card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyh85 Posted August 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2015 School ID may suffice, but I would suggest the passports. For everyone. Maybe it's because I'm in a border city and carrying a passport around is fairly normal for me. I just prefer to keep my ID with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that US citizen kids under 16 do not require an ID so I would presume it would be the same for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebJ14 Posted August 15, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We sailed another cruise line to Bermuda in April. At the door of the terminal there were Bermudan officials checking both drivers licenses and ship's cards before you could get through to reboard the ship. There were several kids in the family ahead of us. They only had to show their ship's cards. I did hear one of the officials ask the kids how old they were. All were under 16. If they have a school ID, I would take that ashore along with the ship's cards. We do not take our passports ashore - just color copies. But we always take a driver's license along with the key card.

emcelh Posted August 15, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yes. All you need to get back on ship is your stateroom card. Take a photo ID too. Several years ago we were behind someone who had only his ship card and they wouldn't let him through. His traveling companion had to get his ID and come back with it. Maybe they don't always check in Bermuda but they did that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His traveling companion had to get his ID and come back with it. Maybe they don't always check in Bermuda but they did that day. They were asking about children with no photo ID. Of course adults should bring photo ID off the ship with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
