Our cruise this February we were travelling on Royal Caribbean. I used my USA Passport Card for my ID and online check-in and at the ship.
The agent checking my papers told me that I needed to be careful because if you use a US Passport Card (not the "regular" booklet) that if I needed to leave the cruise due to medical difficulties that the passport card would cause an issue and that in the future I should use my regular passport for Caribbean Cruises.
She said there could be an issue with payment for medical services if I use my Passport Card to book cruise.
I have not heard of this before--just passing along caution from RCCL.
