3 Ways to Visit the Caribbean Without a Passport

Yes It is still possible to have a fabulous Caribbean vacation even if you don't  have a valid U.S. passport. Here are 3 ways that you can enjoy The Caribbean with just a birth certificate and driver's license or other form of identification.

#1 Take a cruise

 If you're on a so-called "closed loop" cruise that departs and returns to a U.S. port like Miami, Tampa, Galveston, Ft. Lauderdale, San Juan, or New Orleans, you only need a birth certificate and a primary ID to travel.

#2 Visit Puerto Rico 

Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the United States, making travel here just like crossing a state border: no passport is required for U.S. citizens. Plus, you don't have to clear Customs, either Puerto Rico has the best air service in the Caribbean. The island provides a wide range of activities ranging from from the urban sophistication and history of San Juan to the wilds of the El Yunque rainforest.


 #3 U.S. Virgin Island

The USVI are another U.S. Commonwealth that is passport and Customs-free for U.S. citizens.
The U.S. Virgin Islands is a paradise with so much more to offer than the traditional beach vacation. Visitors wishing to immerse themselves in a profound cultural experience can enjoy historical tours, culinary encounters, artisan fairs, parades, storytelling and other special presentations.The commonwealth is made up of 3 islands:
 St. Croix, the largest of the islands, has two major towns (Christiansted and Frederiksted), a rain forest, and preserved historic plantation homes.
Bustling Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas is the most popular cruise port in the Caribbean, while two-thirds of St. John is preserved as a tropical national park.
