Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a travel agent and I specialize in Royal Caribbean cruises.

You definitely need more than that. Now, number one, I'm going to say go get your passport.

It is not that expensive. and to save you just so much trouble and headache and heartache.

If you're 16 or older, you need an ID.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go get a passport first of all.
✓You can cruise in a closed loop cruise to most ports of call with just a birth certificate.
✓If you're 16 or older, you need an ID.
✓If your name on your birth certificate does not match your name on your driver's license, bring proof of that name change.
✓Do not give a nickname or shortened name on your cruise reservation.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Thinking a driver's license or state ID is enough to board a cruise. — You definitely need more than that; go get a passport.
Not having a certified copy of a birth certificate. — Get a certified copy with a raised seal from the county you were born in.
Name mismatch between birth certificate and driver's license due to marriage or name change. — Bring proof of the name change, such as a marriage certificate or legal paperwork.
