Passport & The Bahamas

[Susan in Maine]

Holy cow the cruise bargains are amazing! I know lots of people are cancelling their trips, but these bargains are really hard to turn down.

 

Here's my question: My passport expired in February. (I know, I know - I'm kicking myself). If you need to fly home from The Bahamas, is a driver's license and birth certificate sufficient?

 

Thanks!

no

no, but the embassy would work with you if it was an emergency.

No. (I’m always curious why Americans think they don’t have the same rules/requirements?) Like someone else said.. if there’s an emergency, the embassy can help get you home. Ex: you become injured/hospitalized while in port and become stranded.

Asked and answered. Plenty of threads debating passport or not issue
