Passports for Disney Cruises?

Hey, has anyone taken a Disney cruise? If you have, you must be able to answer my next question: can I travel on a Disney cruise without a passport? I know its an easy matter to get one, but it does take a while right now since everyone is starting to require them for travel. And sometimes I see special deals advertised with low costs if you can be prepared to leave quickly. If I don’t need to have a passport, I could take off at almost no notice if the price were right! I’d like to hear from you!!

Passport for Disney Cruise

For every cruise line leaving the US with destinations for example of the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Mexico, a passport is STRONGLY recommended; however, one of the following is what is necessary, including children:

** Valid U.S. passport
** Original birth certificate AND state/government issued photo ID for all passengers 18 and older.

One reason that you should really have a passport is in the event of a medical or family emergency where you may need to fly home. Flying into the U.S. without a passport is exceedingly difficult, so you'd have more peace of mind with the passport in hand.
