Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm JD and along with my wife Chris, we are the casual cruisers.
This came up as I was helping a friend with questions about his first cruise.
Lately, there have been several social media posts showing people who forgot their travel documents or did not have the correct travel documents.
Please note that it says for most US sailings because not every sailing from the US will allow you to travel on a birth certificate and real ID.
