You would be surprised how relatively inexpensive a short cruise is and in the whole scheme of things with food and entertainment included it truly is affordable.

I've been on the three day trips out of Port Canaveral. Even if she can't go ashore, she will have some great experiences on board. And while in port she can go on deck and observe the passing scene in the Harbor.
I would be very sure it is a CERTIFIED COPY of her birth certificate. Wouldn't want her to have issues coming back in.
You are correct about the moderate cost of many cruises, when you realize that you are getting your lodging, transportation, all you can possibly eat, and entertainment for one price. Back when I was cruising, we considered it a good deal if we could find a cruise that cost $100 a day per person. It may be higher by now.
Have a great cruise.
