Travel Documents - Passport Card

[cgmiller63]

Does anyone know if we can travel with just our passport cards or do we need the full passport?

As long as returning to same port and you don't have to fly home during the cruise the card is fine. It's what I use and never have any trouble.

The Passport Card is fine for closed loop cruises. If you need to fly home, however, you will need the full Passport.

you don't even need that. you could travel with an id and birth certificate.

 

OR just the passport card (since you need bc and id to get one).

 

so yes, you can travel with just your passport card.

 

but if for any reason you would need to fly back, you cannot with the passport card, as it is not intended for air transport.

Cruise with mine all the time I even use it for ID at the airport since it is a Federally Issued ID. Lucky that I have not had to fly home from a cruise.

Yes. It is all we used for DD (4 years old) when she cruised with us.
