I'm going to the Bahamas

i think so

its an independant country so i guess yeah

Yes, if you're American and you want to get back into the counry.

As of now you do not need a passport for land or sea travel, you do for air travel. I think that as of January you will need a passport. Here is a general listing of what you need for a cruise...

All Guests claiming U.S. citizenship, including children, must present one of the following as proof of U.S. citizenship:

1)A valid, unexpired U.S. passport.
2)Original state issued Birth Certificate; additionally, Guests 18 years of age and older must present a photo ID issued by a Local, State or Federal Government agency.
3)Original Certificate of Naturalization; additionally, Guests 18 years of age and older must present a photo ID issued by a Local, State or Federal Government agency.
4)Original Certificate of Citizenship; additionally, Guests 18 years of age and older must present a photo ID issued by a Local, State or Federal Government agency.
5)Original Consular Report of Birth Abroad of U.S. Citizen; additionally, Guests 18 years of age and older must present a photo ID issued by a Local, State or Federal Government agency.

Note: I would definitely get in contact with the cruise line to verify what documents are needed. You do not want to get there and not be able to board. I think that in Jan the rules will change and a passport will then be required. I would call the cruise line and then head to a post office or something to get it taken care of. You will not get the passport the same day you apply for it, so make sure you leave enough time to apply and receive it by mail.

its up to the cruise line everyone is different. it should be in the details of your trip

A passport book is going to work better than a passport card, as you can later use the book to fly.

Although you can use your birth certificate and driver's license, many cruise lines want the book

American citizens do not need passports for sea travel until June 1, 2009. Even then, cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port will probably be exempted from passport requirement. See site below. Some cruise lines want passengers to have passports, so call and ask their policy.

I believe a Passport is now required for all cruises to the Bahamas.
