if you keep reading...it clearly states:
From a Princess Emergency Notification dated 6/10/09 (for a Caribbean Sailing)
As of June 1 , 2009, the US Department of Homeland Security will enforce new secure document requirements.
US citizens may also present a Certified Birth Certificate together with a valid photo identification.
I am happy to send to you the data required to advise your clients.

<That's a risk not a requirement.>
It is NOT required! For Princess or any other line doing as the Homeland Security advises.
