I am hoping someone here has had experience with this and can advise. Here's the scenario:
I have cruise booked for the my 40th birthday the 1st week of October. My driver's license is going to expire while I am on the trip, so I went and got it renewed today. My state only issues paper copies of new licenses and will mail you the official laminated one in 30 days (long after my cruise.) I was concerned about this and called Royal Caribbean. The lady I talked to was extremely rude to me. She told me they definitely would not take a paper ID, it MUST be laminated. I could either cancel my trip, call port authority, or just take my chances. She then told me it wasn't her fault and I should have renewed my license "months ago."
My husband called port authority. They told him that my driver's license doesn't matter b/c a passport is required. No one would be allowed to board w/o a passport. (I know this isn't accurate and I don't have a passport and don't have time to get one.) So we got nowhere there. He then called Royal Caribbean back and quite obviously talked to someone different than me. That person told my husband that my paper ID was fine and it wouldn't be a problem.
So does anyone have personal experience with this? How do I know who is correct?
