Kids on adult passports for cruise

[i12go2wdw]

We are going on the 4-day Wonder cruise in October and understand that we will all need passports (2 adults, 3 kids). Now, at $60 a pop that will eat into our budget a bit. I know that each of the adults can add one child to his passport. That means we only need 3 instead of 5. When I phoned the passport office asking for the proper paperwork to get the passports, they said that some countries will not allow kids to be on an adult passport (i.e. they need their own).

Here's my question ... Does anyone know if the Bahamas will accept a child on an adult passport?

TIA for your help !!

Hi! Not sure of all the details, but I have all 3 of our children listed on my passport.
The reason for this is that I know that my husband would never want to take the kids out of the country by himself anyhow!!!

I'm not sure about which countries require what but when we put our 3 kids on my passport, no one suggested that we would have any problems going anywhere like that - in fact it seemed the "normal" way to do it!!

I would call again and clarify the information you were given. I have a Canadian passport so you should be able to put all of the kids on it. Your travel agent (or the passport people) should be able to tell you if that will be okay for the Bahamas.

We went on a Wonder cruise March 2001. The children were on my passport. No problems.

We went on a Carnival cruise to the Bahamas in March and none of us used passports. DH and I used our drivers licence and birth certificates and our teenage daughters used school id's (with photos) and birth certificates. No problems whatsoever.

Our youngest daughter is a Canadian citizen. When we cruised last October we just had her birth certificate (didn't have her US Citizenship papers yet) and we had no problems. I also don't have a passport and used my drivers license and birth certificate - no problem.

Both my kids are on my passport, and we cruised last year and had no problems. We are going again in less than a month and I foresee no problems. I have always understood that if children are under 18 there is no problem with them being on your passport. The only time they would need their own is if they are traveling on their own.
