Kids and IDs when getting back on at CC

[smd8z]

I've read that you need your KTWC and an ID to get back on the ship after a day at CC. Does this include kids? Just wasn't sure if I really needed to take their passports onto CC.

We've been there 3 or 4 times and never has anyone asked for an adult ID let alone a kid's! KTWC was all they needed.

In most ports, including CC, the ID requirement is for adults only. At CC, we do not take our son’s passport with us, unlike when we go ashore elsewhere. We do so in case we get stuck in the country somehow.

Thank you! I'll bring an ID for the adults just in case at CC.

Anyone 18 and older needs a government issued (drivers license is accepted) photo ID.

True. Ages 18 and over require KTTWC and ID (drivers license will work) Children are just required to have the KTTWC.

There is a checkpoint of Bahamian customs officials checking the ID for each family, usually whoever the first adult is gets checked then the other members of the family are waved thru.
Once boarding the ship, they have the adults in the family tap their KTTWC first and then all people in the party after them.

Do kids need passports to get on/off the boat at Bahamas?

If they are US citizens on a closed loop cruise, no. Other nationalities/citizenships may vary.

ID is only required for those 18 & older. Everyone needs their KTTW cards.

They tell you to bring your ID for adults, but no one even looked at them on Friday. They asked to see ONE KTTW card from our party, scanned it, then we proceeded back to the boat.

On the other hand, do you want to be in the party that only brought one person's ID, and then have to show everyone's ID?

Right...I wasn't complaining though, just stating our experience
