No, I don't think so.....If the cruise is going out of the US, your passport and green card should be sufficient.

I did many cruises, a few to Cozumel, Mexico.... and a road trip to Canada.

I was a UK citizen...... but maybe it depends on your country of citizenship.

Regardless your citizenship a US Green Card Holder can travel to Canada and Mexico with a valid passport and valid US Permanent Resident card.

NOTES:

MEXICO: A foreigner of any country, who is a permanent resident of the United States of America or of Canada, may travel to Mexico without a visa or a consular stamp on the passport. The person should travel with the valid passport and the valid US Resident Alien Card (Green Card) or Permanent Resident Card (Canada)

CANADA: As a U.S. Green Card holder, you do not need a visitor visa to travel to Canada. However, you are expected to have an eTA if you plan to fly to or transit through Canada.

When flying to Canada, you will need to present:

• proof of status in the U.S. (such as a valid Green Card), and

• your valid passport that you used to apply for your eTA.

The border services officer will verify your eTA when you arrive in Canada.

When travelling by land or sea directly from the U.S., you will only need to provide proof of your U.S. lawful permanent resident status (such as your Green Card).
