Question

Do I need a passport to go on a three day cruise on Carnival?

Answer 1

if out of the U.S then yes

Answer 2

I would call Carnival directly.  It depends on where you are going!  My sister does not have a passport yet and had been on a ton of Carnival cruises.  It is a good idea to get one soon though!

Answer 3

Depends on when you're going.  If it's this summer, and you're on Carnival, you can manage without.

But this is expected to change June 2009.

That said, it's a little risky to be without.  If by some awful chance you miss the ship you'd have a hard time getting back from the Bahamas.  Even now, you need a passport to fly

BTW, they're good for 10 years.

FYI, if you only travel to the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada, the State Department has introduced a lower-priced "Passport Card".

Answer 4

Passports are not needed for sea travel yet. See site below to see that you need a phto I.D. and a proof of citizenship..EITHER a passport OR  a birth certificate.  NOW...some cruise lines like all passengers to have passports, so it is wise to call them and ask their policy.

Answer 5

YES you do need a passport for cruise travel.  As of Dec. 2006 they now require you have it.  Even though the government website says you don't you do.  I was just on a cruise and they made us have them to even book a cruise with them.

Answer 6

no
