Do you need a passport for a cruise? It all depends on where you’re going. For US citizens going on an Alaska cruise or a closed-loop Caribbean cruise, it is not required. There are a few other locations where it is possible to go cruising with a birth certificate. We talk about whether you need a passport to cruise, why you might want one even if you don’t need it, and what cruise travel documents you can use in place of a passport. =========================================== 🔔Subscribe to stay updated: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuE0IrwnUdbmB39Lk1Y8XkA?sub_confirmation=1 📚Read more about our adventures on our website: 🌎 https://embrace-today.com Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embracetoday_travel/ Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557375432521&is_tour_completed=true Want to see more content like this?
