Can a person cruise a typical closed-loop Fantasy 7-night Western Caribbean cruise if they don't have a passport, and instead have a birth certificate and state ID?
GENERALLY, a US citizen, on a closed loop cruise (begins and ends in the same US port) can travel with a birth certificate (actual county/state issued birth certificate, not the hospital issued one), and a Government-issued photo ID.Can a person cruise a typical closed-loop Fantasy 7-night Western Caribbean cruise if they don't have a passport, and instead have a birth certificate and state ID?
And, if one of you falls and breaks a leg, and you have to fly home from a foreign country (even those that don't require one to cruise to) - you'll need a passport.I’ve been on many cruises, we only use BC/DL. Yes we take the chance but never plan on going anywhere that needs a passport.
It's a choice between that or cancelling the cruise after PIF because his passport is missing (and due to special circumstances cannot be replaced in time), so it's not so easy as you make it sound.Can you? Yes. Should you? No.

They were facts.I didn't need anyone's opinion, just the facts.
