Question about the Grand Bahamas

[Kajikit 65]

I'm drooling over the day cruises (and cruise-and-stay-packages) for the Grand Bahamas... but I'm not sure that we can go. I have a conditional greencard but I do NOT have any other photo ID in my married name. My GC IS my photo ID! My passport's in my maiden name... is that good enough? Or is it like the bank, where they wouldn't accept my passport as ID any more because the name was 'wrong'?

Canadian citizens require either a Canadian passport or a Canadian citizenship ID accompanied by a valid Canadian photo ID.

All other travelers must have valid passports from their country of origin in conjunction with a multiple entry U.S visa and if necessary a Bahamian visa, please check with your nearest Bahamian Consulate.

Passengers under 18 years of age require a notarized written parental consent for travel and must be accompanied be an adult.

how hard is it to get an ID with your correct name on it?

[Fuzzness 2]

Maybe you should look into going to Puerto Rico instead

the State ID cards don't seem that hard to get and then you would have you 2 pieces of picture ID with your married name on them

[Reba 2]

any airline tickets need to be reserved in your legal name as it shows in your passport. If you travel with a passport that has your maiden name still in it, you also should carry a copy of your marriage certificate, along with your green card to show your legal status in the US.

Enjoy your trip

I should be able to get a state ID card no worries... but I've booked an appointment twice and each time I had to cancel it because DH was working and he couldn't take me down to get it! So I've been putting it off because it didn't seem urgent... but I guess this would be a good reason to get one after all! And DH has to get a passport and a copy of his birth certificate.
