We are cruising in Decmeber and I was seeing conflicting information so I sent an email to DCL Guest Communications. Here's the reply. We got passports anyway to be on the safe side!

Thank you for your e-mail.
All U.S. and Canadian citizens must travel with proof of citizenship, which is a valid Passport, a Birth Certificate (an original one with a raised seal from your state of birth) along with a picture identification, or a Certified Naturalization Certificate along with a picture identification. Acceptable forms of picture identification are a state or provincial driver's license with a picture, or a federal, state, province, or local government photo I.D. card.
Travel documents required throughout the vacation are the responsibility of the guest. We ask that guests consult with their
travel agent, government agencies,embassy, or consulate to determine documentary requirements. Guests under 18
will be permitted to board with just their Birth Certificate if travelling with a parent or legal guardian.
We look forward to the chance to sail with you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
Disney Cruise Line Guest Communications
