Question re:picture ID for 16 year old

[sandster]

A group is cruising the Dawn out of NYC. One 16 yr old has an original birth certificate, but does not have a driver's liscense. The only picture ID she has is a High School ID. Will this suffice? There is not enough time to get a non-driver's ID or passport.

I would call the cruise line.

We went on our first cruise right after 9-11 and my DS who was 13 had to have a goverment issue photo ID. it only took 7 days to get the non driver ID.

I am in NY state.

Again call the cruise line they may have relaxed things since then.

Definitely call and check. Don't know what state he lives in, but in Connecticut I was able to get the non-driver's ID on the spot with proper supporting docs.

My brother had to get his ID before our cruise and we got it the same day also...we are in NC:rolleyes:

I'm cruising out of Boston in Aug with three teenagers. NCL customer service told me that if they do not have passports, they need original birth certificates, and any kids over 16 need a photo ID. They prefer a driver's license, but if the kid doesn't have one, a school id will be fine.

No problems with my kids using their high school ID cards.
