Question on New Passport Regulations 2007

[bruins12]

I was curious to hear if any one has cruised recently to Bermuda using only a birth certificate and a drivers license. 1 person in our party doesn't have a passport, and she wanted to squeeze in one more cruise before the new regulations at the end of the year. NCL has told me this is fine until Dec 31, 2006. I am curious to see how difficult immagration was.
