In all of my email correspondence with my customer's, I am adamant about bringing the proper documentation to board the ship. Although you can sail with an Original Birth Certificate with the raised seal or certified copy and a government issued photo ID, for certain round trip loop sailings, I always recommend a passport.
Depending I which country you are a citizen of, you may be required to bring a green card or obtain a visa.
Last week, I had a family of 4 fly from Pennsylvania to Miami, and the wife did not have her permanent resident ID card. She left it in Pennsylvania. Can you imagine the grief that the family felt? They had a choice to leave the wife/mother behind or none of them go. Insurance will not cover this. The cruise line would not give them any money back. They were out thousands of dollars. They also were meeting up with 3 additional cabins on board for a family reunion.
This could have been avoided by just having the proper Identifications. Don't let this happen to you.
