Passport law in US has changed and passports are now required. If you are on a cruise ship I strongly recommend you take a passport, because if you become ill and have to leave the ship a passport is required. It's just common sense to have one - great identification.

If by air yes, so you can get home!
If by boat NO! not until 1/1/08 but I also saw JUNE 09 somewhere.
All you need to get into the Bahamas is a passport OR birth cert. and Drivers lic. Check out Bahamas.com and they say it right there. Look for yourself before everyone on here says YES YES YES, you need a passport, call a travel agent, or one better call the state dept. ext. homeland secuity ..lol

They just changed this about 4-6 weeks ago. If you are traveling from anywhere in the US to Bahamas or Mexico (via airplane) you need a passport.

Yup. As of January 1, 2007, anyone leaving the U.S. for any foreign port by air or boat MUST have a valid U.S. Passport to re-enter the United States, and the Bahamas now requires anyone entering their sovereign territory to have a valid passport. If you need one, be advised that it's taking the State Department six to eight weeks to get them to you once you apply, assuming you give them everything you need. For more information, go to the State Department web site: http://www.state.gov/

A passport is ideal for holiday reported above, to boot as everywhere interior the international through creating use of way of any mode of transportation, with constrained exceptions (i.e. cuba). interior North u.s., there are added archives which may be provided for land and be conscious crossings. you've gained a Passport card, that you will be able to carry on with for interior the similar way as a passport, yet you are able to acquire an undemanding card. in case you stay in a state which offeres more beneficial effective identity playing playing cards or more beneficial effective reason stress licenses (Florida does no longer at present) which will be perfect to boot.
