An expired DL is not a valid form of ID.

Depends- if the drivers license says "valid as ID if expired" or something like that than it would be acceptable, otherwise it must be unexpired. Best to get it renewed or obtain a state issued ID.

Personally I wouldn't risk it and would renew the drivers license ASAP - don't you also need to do that to drive legally? But to be certain I would contact Carnival and ask them.

OP is from NYC, where many folks (my youngest son included) don't have driver's licenses.

Understand that, but the OP said they had one that just expired recently. And if you do any driving for your job you need a whole different type of license! :D

If you aren't planning to renew your license, you may want to look into getting a NY State ID. My Special Ed. students (non-drivers) have these as their official state IDs and they are just as legal as a license for the purpose of proving identity. My cousin just used one to fly to Texas a few months ago.
