Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on 42 cruises and well the very last cruise that I took was my first my first no passport cruise

if you are going on a cruise that is considered a closed loop Cruise you do not need a passport

the process of cruising with a birth certificate was fairly painless but I still wouldn't recommend it

my recommendation continues to be that if you are going to be a cruiser go ahead and invest in a passport

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get an official copy of your birth certificate with a raised seal from your state government
Renew your passport at least six months before it expires
Carry a state-issued ID along with your birth certificate for closed-loop cruises
