Do Children Need Passport?

[Flik]

I've been reading all along that original BC would do for children. But thought I read somewhere today requiring children to carry passport while flying??? Is this for non US citizens?

DD is 8 and DS is 6; we're leaving in 7 weeks. I only have their BC's.

P.S. Yes, we're one of many NJ families cruising 11/2.:

You definitely shouldn't need passports for the kids for a flight from NJ to MCO. To be sure, you might want to contact the airline. The proof of citizenship is really only required for the cruise. As to that, this comes from the DCL website:

All U.S. and Canadian citizens must travel with proof of citizenship, which is a valid passport, or certified birth certificate (with official raised seal) and picture identification, or a certified naturalization certificate with a picture identification. Acceptable forms of picture identification are state or provincial driver's license, or federal, state, province, or local government photo I.D. card. Guests age 17 and under who are U.S. or Canadian citizens are only required to have proof of citizenship, excluding picture identification. These guidelines are based on U.S. government regulations which are subject to change at any time.
