Al's_gal Posted June 26, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I tried searching but couldn't come up with anything, so I do apologize if the answer to this is hiding somewhere. What kind of documentation (if any) will be need to bring for our two children, ages 3 and 2 at time of sailing? Will we need to bring their birth certificates? Or is nothing required for children this age? Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipflopsnfrozendrinks Posted June 26, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2008 On our kids first crusie, we just used their birth certificates, but with the new regs, we have gone with passports since then. I am not sure what the regulations are right now, but I thought everyone has to have a passport. Either way, it saves alot of time at check in both at the air terminal and ship terminal. I hope this helps, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeard72 Posted June 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2008 This is what it says on the RCCL site: A valid passport is a requirement for air travel to / from Canada, Mexico the Caribbean and Bermuda Effective June 1, 2009 only a valid passport (unless otherwise noted below) or other WHTI compliant document will be accepted for entry or re-entry into the United States. For a list of all approved documents visit: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html#compliant_document U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end at the same port in the U.S.) will be able to enter or depart the country with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate and laminated government issued picture ID, denoting photo, name and date of birth. A U.S. citizen under the age of 16 will be able to present either an original or a copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad issues by DOS, or Certificate of Naturalization issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

crusinmama06 Posted June 26, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2008 If it's this year, then they still only need a birthcertificate. DON'T forget it. You will be denied boarding. The best option is to get a passport just in case you need to fly back into the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry's Girls Posted June 26, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2008 If you are using a birth certificate, make sure you have a certified birth certificate - not just the one the hospital gives you. Best, Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
