I am not 100% sure about a birth certificate from another country..heres what the website says.....If I were you,I'd call and ask RCCL..... (866) 562-7625

: What travel documents and identification will I need for domestic sailings?

A: Please note: Royal Caribbean domestic sailings are all sailings originating and ending in ports located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico including Panama Canal sailings. All other sailings are considered to be international sailings. These include itineraries in Europe, South America and Australia/New Zealand including re-positioning sailings originating or ending in their ports. U.S. citizens traveling on our international sailings are required to have valid passports.

Before Leaving Home:
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the required travel documents you will be asked to provide prior to boarding the ship. Caution: The requirements described below are required by government regulations and policies. They are subject to change without notice.

It is the sole responsibility of the guest to identify and obtain all required travel documents and have them available when necessary. These appropriate valid travel documents such as passports, visas, inoculation certificate and family legal documents are required for boarding and re-entry into the United States and other countries.

Guests who do not possess the proper documentation may be prevented from boarding their flight or ship or from entering a country and may be subject to fines. No refunds will be given to individuals who fail to bring proper documentation.

As PH states when in doubt call and have the information followed up with an email if possible. I would think that in your case, your original birth certificate, a copy of your naturalization papers and your FL drivers license and when you get back if your going to leave the country again. a [size=large]PASSPORT[/size] That will cover all the bases for you.

Well the US was going to have everyone need a passport to go to anywhere. Including Canada, Bahamas, Mexico by 1/1/2008. But due to the huge amount of passport filings, they MIGHT push this date back.

So if you have a passport or can get one quick, go that route. If your in a jam, I am sure before 2008, a Birth Certificate will do fine. BUT check with the Government and RCCL. They will know for sure.
