Help! I leave with my wife on the NCL Sky on 11/17/23 (18 days from now). It's out of Miami and goes to Dominican, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Antigua, St. Kitts, US Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas before returning back to Miami. On their website, it says if you leave from a US port and return to that same US port on a Caribbean cruise, you could technically board with your birth certificate AND license. My wife has a passport that expires in April, which is less than 6 months away... I have seen mixed reviews on this, but have read multiple posts saying people have done similar cruises with 3 months left etc. and had no issue. The option here is to SUPER expedite a passport renewal through VisaCentral (recommended by NCL) for $1,000 or basically just let it ride and take the risk. Community, please advise! Have any of your traveled and had no issue? It is worth noting that Antigua specifically says your passport must be valid for 180 days following departure date. St. Kitts says "must have 6 months validity at entry." Am I screwed??
