From Carnival...........
• A state-issued certified copy of a birth certificate from the
Department of Health and Vital Statistics and photo I.D.
These are both raised seal but very hard to see now.
Ours are wallet sized and VERY easy to carry, along with a D/L!
Mine came from the County Clerks office and Susanas came from the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics. (hers is called a "Birth Registration Card")
Here is the deal............
If you have the proper forms of I.D. as required and clearly stated by the cruise line, you will have NO problem. Been there, done that.
If you have any question, call your county clerks office or Bureau of Vital Statistics, tell them you are going on a cruise and need proper B/C documentation and for a small fee they will get you what you need.
Most will even ship ovenight if you pay the shipping fee.
If you want to be overly safe........
Drop the $85.00 per and get passports.
Take your B/C's anyway.
Also your marriage license.
Make copies of everything.
...or....
just stay in this country!
There are many thousands of people that board cruise ships every day using only B/C's & D/L's without problem.
