Do I need a passport to cruise?
We recommend that everyone taking a cruise from the United States have a passport book. Though some “closed-loop” cruises may not require a U.S. passport, we recommend bringing yours in case of an emergency, such as an unexpected medical air evacuation, you miss the ship, or the ship docking at an alternate port.
