NO !! NO !! NO!!! You do not need a passport if your cruise ship departs from a US port, like Long Beach, or San Diego and your cruise ends before the end of this year (December 31, 2007). But it will save you a lot of hassle traveling outside the country and MOST IMPORTANTLY, a passport will be required of all US citizens to reenter the USA starting January 1, 2008. Once you get the passport you will be set for 10 years. The web site below will answer all of your questions about passports.
Now if your cruise starts in December or January and will not return until after January 1, 2008, you will positively need a passport. In addition, If you take a cruise this calendar year and for some reason (like you get sick) and have to fly back to the US then you will need a passport.

Depends on when you are traveling:
"As early as January 1, 2008, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries), may be required to present a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. While recent legislative changes permit a later deadline, the Departments of State and Homeland Security are working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Ample advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain passports or passport cards for land/sea entries."
I would check with the cruise line and do whatever they say.

I think Sri Vidya Rajgopalan has given the correct answer. But the Answer is very long. Let me explain you in short. Ram built a Bridge instead of ship because he thought, if in the war with Ravana more army of Varana is required then it will be easy to bring reinforcement through a Bridge Than to send ship.

No. Not until at least Jan 2008, and as late as June 2009. This applies only for sea travel.

If you travel prior to the last day of 2007 you don't need a passport just your birth certificate and drivers license.

If you are traveling outside of the US by sea or by air, you must have a valid passport. This includes Mexico and Canada.
It probably won't be long before you will need them when driving or walking to our neighboring countries. Next will be requirements that you always have Federal identification at all times.

Tinkertoy is right. You won't need one as of this year but will need one for 08. All you need right now is your original birth certificate and your drivers license
