Rare Essiesmom Posted July 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) If you are a US citizen and If your starting/ending port is in the US, yes. As long as you also have a gov't issued photo ID. EM Edited July 26, 2019 by Essiesmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, yes. As long as you're a US citizen, on a closed loop cruise starting and ending in a US port That said, there are cruise lines that require a passport, regardless of the legal requirements.

leaveitallbehind Posted July 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Just to reiterate in a single statement, for most cruise lines as indicated, the ID requirements for embarking on a closed loop cruise that departs from a US based port (which includes Puerto Rico) for US citizens over 16 is a birth certificate and a government issued photo ID -or- a Passport. However, also as mentioned, there are cruise lines the require a Passport for these itineraries, so it is necessary to contact the cruise line in question to confirm their individual requirements.
