Although passports are NOT required for 'closed-loop' cruises, we're highly recommending them to everyone.
A closed-loop cruise is one that begins and ends in the same U.S. port while visiting ports in Canada, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Central America, Mexico, etc. You do not need a passport for this type of cruise.
However, if you must disembark the ship in a foreign port and fly home and do not have a passport, you'll have to wait a few days while the local U.S. embassy processes your paperwork. This is why we're telling everyone to get a passport - you may not need it, but if you need it and don't have it, it can be quite a hassle.
