Hi Marianela,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for asking us a question!
Although Disney Cruise Line does
encourage Guests to carry a passport with them during their voyage, if you’ll be boarding a Round Trip (or “closed loop”) voyage, that is, a cruise that leaves from and returns to the same United States port, US Citizens in your travel party don’t need to have a passport in order to set sail. What they’ll need instead for their
travel documentation would be an original or copy of their state-issued birth certificate AND a physical Government-issued photo ID.
Please note that digital or mobile state-issued identification will not be sufficient – Guests will need to have a real/physical photo ID card with them. Also, if there are any non-US citizens in your party, they’ll need to carry their passports with them.
If there are any children 15 years of age and younger in your travel party, they don’t need to present a photo ID – they only need to present an original or copy of their state-issued birth certificate if they don’t have a passport.
I hope my answer helps ensure smooth sailing for you and your family! Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions.
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
