    Hi. are passports a requirement for Cruises leaving Miami to Bahamas? I am interested but my wife's passport has expired. Both our daughters might also have expired passports but I understand a birth certificate can also be used. Please advise.

    Ahoy, Noel! Welcome, and thanks for cruising on by with your question.

    Disney Cruise Line follows government regulations regarding identification for the purposes of sailing. For a Bahamas sailing that begins and ends in Miami, you can travel without a passport. In place of the passport, however, you will need an original or certified copy of your birth certificate AND government-issued photo identification. The certified birth certificate must have a raised seal from the issuing state, and hospital-issued birth certificates don't count. 

    Children under the age of 15 will not need a photo ID. They will, however, still need a birth certificate to travel without a passport.

    Noel, you've only got a few more days until you sail! It's a great time to go down the pre-cruise checklist to make sure you've got all your other documents and requirements in order. You'll also want to add the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to your phone. 

    I hope you're now ship shape and ready to go, Noel! Have the most incredible time on your seafaring adventure.
