HI everyone . . . .

I recieved my tickets yesterday and included are the Bahama Immigration cards that need to be filled out and given to the NCL rep at embarkation. What I was wondering was, does a six year-old need to have one filled out as well?! Thanks in advance for the help!

I believe the card is per Family

No, its per person but you have to sign it and she is only 6 and signs her name in block letters! : ) I'll give NCL a call and find out. Thanks anyways! : )

My girls signed their own cards 6 & 10 yr olds. It doesn't matter! But they do have to have them.

What kind of identification do kids need? I know that if you don't have a passport, adults can use an original birth certificate and a government issued photo id (I assume drivers license will suffice). But what about kids, they have birth certificates, but no photo id?

Yes, they do need to have their own card......it is the country of the Bahamas that determines what is needed - not the cruise line.

my daughters only needed thier birth certificates, no copies. and they each needed to have an immigration card filled out. they each signed thier own name.

My kids are 2 1/2 & 41/2. The 4 1/2 year old can write her name (although sometimes eligibly) but what about my 2 1/2 year old? Do I sign his name?

I would call NCL and ask or fill everything else out and ask the rep at embarkation if you should do it for him.
