No passports needed for anyone if you are US citizen but you do need a government photo ID.

 

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NCL AMERICA VESSELS

All passengers 16 years of age and older must provide

PHOTO IDENTIFICATION

for boarding NCL America vessels that travel and stay within the United States/Hawaii Islands, where the ship does NOT travel to a foreign, non-U.S. port of call.

PHOTO IDENTIFICATION

consists of one of the following:

• Valid Passport
  
  
• Government Issued Photo ID
  
  
• Valid Driver’s License that Includes a Photograph

Company policy dictates that any passenger traveling without proper photo identification as described will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund will be issued.

If the policy is that a passport is NOT needed, why would anyone be denied boarding for not having something they do not need???

The Pride ships do not leave the country. If you are a US citizen, it's the same as traveling between states. On the Wind, you needed one when it went to Fanning Island, as you had left the country.
