Required Travel Documentation Question

[BarbH]

We will be leaving and returning out of/ to the same port (Miami). We all have our current up to date passports.

Will we need any other forms of identification?

Will we need birth certificate copies for our children who are under 16?

[Dave]

If everyone has a current passport that is all you need. When you say "all" I assume you mean the kids have passports too.

[BarbH]

Yes, we took the plunge and purchased passports for the kids and ourselves. Wow, what an expense that was!

Thanks for the help!

As long as the children's last names are the same as the parents there shouldn't be any problem.

Yes, its pretty pricey to bbuy passports for everyone, but now you have the ability to travel international with the family without having to worry about it. Also if something unfortunate happens while you are on your cruise and need to fly home, you can do so without worry. Its expensive but the piece of mind is a good thing.

[BarbH]

Yes, that's exactly why we went ahead and got them. It's nice to have them for other travel opportunities and also in case of emergency.

(And from what I've read, passports are pretty easy and inexpensive to renew. Should take less time than the 1 1/2 hours it took the first time
