    Are passports required to travel to the Bahamas on your cruises? Also is it too late to book a Christmas time cruise for this year?

    Hi, Angelaka! Thanks for visiting planDisney with your question. Welcome!

    I'd be happy to share Travel Documentation details with you and your sailing crew, as you are considering a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas. While Disney Cruise Line does recommend that guests travel using passports as documentation, it is not a requirement for some itineraries. If the cruise is a round-trip sailing to the Bahamas, U.S. citizens may present an original state-issued birth certificate AND a physical government-issued photo ID. Children 15 years of age and younger are required to present a birth certificate, but do not need to show a government-issued photo ID. For more details, please thoroughly read the information on the Travel Documentation page of the Disney Cruise Line website. 

    It's not too late to book a Very Merrytime sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line this year! Holiday sailings are so much fun, and the festive atmosphere is the perfect backdrop to make magical memories. To Find a Cruise, hover your mouse under the Plan a Cruise tab, and select Find a Cruise. Make sure all filters have been cleared, and then add the information that you would like for your sailing. From the More Filters option, select Very Merrytime. This will show all Very Merrytime sailings that fit your parameters. 

    Once you find that perfect sailing for you, here are a few tips to help you stay on track with your cruise planning. With so much fun to be had aboard the ship and in ports, there isn't much to do beyond getting yourself on the ship! Download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app so that once you are onboard, you can view the Daily Activity Schedule to see where the activities are happening throughout the ship. 

    Angelaka, if you have additional questions, please return to planDisney. We'll be here for you!

    Happy Planning,
