Yes, that is true if you are arriving by airplane.

 

If you are arriving by cruise ship, no passport is required. The requirement for cruise ship passengers to have a passport was recinded last summer.

 

Promise! :)

I checked with Royal Caribbean before we left on our cruise in December. You do not need a passport if you are on a cruise. In all ports, all you need is you seapass card (or whatever is issued by the ship) and a photo ID.

The statement re Barbados requirements is correct. As a cruise ship passenger you do not need a passport for your stay on the island as you will be entering the port. However, as a US Citizen, if you are embarking or disembarking the cruise in Barbados, you are required to have a valid US Passport.

 

Your statement re "In all ports, all you need is you seapass card (or whatever is issued by the ship) and a photo ID".. is not correct. If you are on a cruise to a country that requires you to have a passport or visa, you must have that item. You may not need it for the actual ports as your Seapass card will work with a photo ID (many cruise lines are starting to put your photo on those cards these days anyway). But you still have to have the passport to cruise.
