What documents do I need to board a cruise?

[lala62814]

I'm leaving for a cruise soon, and it leaves from Miami and it has ports in Key West, Nassau, and Free Port. I'm 15, and I won't be 16 by the time of my cruise. I don't have a passport or a drivers permit, and I'm a U.S. citizen. What should I bring to make sure I can get back on the ship?

To initially board the ship, you will need a certified birth certificate. Since you're under 16, they will not expect you to have a government issued photo ID.
As for in the ports, you will not be allowed to leave the ship without your parents . You will need to bring the ID the ship issues to you during the boarding process, which also serves as your room key and your on-board charge card.
