Answer 5

Actually, The new passport law has been pushed back again.  At this time passports are not needed until summer 2009.  So as long as you travel before then and do not fly out of the US then you are okay.  You can sail out of any port in the US and go anywhere on a cruise really.  You would need a valid ID and birth certificate (or other country papers if you are not a US Citizen).

I know this because I have done the research and I am a Certified Travel Agent and Cruise Specialist.  In fact, I am arranging a 7-Day Western Caribbean Cruise sailing out of Galveston, TX January 11-18, 2009. At first, we were going to need passports but now we do not need them.  We have limited availability group rates if you would like to join us.  $555.29 per person including all taxes, fees, and fuel supplement. If not, I would still be happy to help you plan your cruise vacation and answer any of your questions.  Feel free to give me a call at the number listed below.

Answer 8

For sure there are no international cruises that will allow him on board without a passport.

All I can suggest is a cruise on the Great Lakes.

Answer 9

I'm pretty sure only Puerto Rico now since it's a US territory...

Answer 10

Your boyfriend does not need a passport to sail around on a cruise ship. He will need proof of residency to get back into the USA on the ship's return. If he is an illegal alien, well, he will not be allowed into the USA.

Answer 13

you could cruise somewhere but its not definate that your boyfriend will be able to come back so i wouldn't try and  sneak him.. because he may not make it back over the booarder and you may

Answer 14

You both should try cruising to Hawaii since it is still part of the United States.

Answer 15

it is inadvisable to attempt it.. he absolutely needs a passport to fly back into the country..so if something were to happen on the cruise he would not be able to get back home.  and by June  of 2009..he will need a passport even to get back into the country from ANY  route..land, sea or air.  .

your only option to stay within the US.. and I am not sure Hawaiian cruises are even an option if they  have a port call outside of the islands.

Answer 16

You'll need one for anyplace outside the US

Answer 17

I dont know that there are any.....sorry.
