Leave them in your safe for the duration of the cruise!!!!!! We make color copies to bring with us in the ports but always, always leave the originals locked up! All you need to come & go off the ship is a picture ID (drivers license) and your KTTW card.
U.S. ports I leave them locked up on the ship. Foreign ports, I keep them with me, in a zip lock sandwich bag, in my fanny pack. If I have an issue in port, they are useless to me on the ship, as are photocopies.
Agree. A passport locked in a safe on the ship while on foreign soil defeats the purpose of having a passport.U.S. ports I leave them locked up on the ship.

I always take mine with me. Had a problem one year in France - believe me a colored copy isn't much help when you need to work with the authorities in a foreign country. When they ask for your "papers" they want your original passport, and any other ID you have. I learned to always carry at least 2 forms of ID. Don't go looking for trouble - carry your passport.
