While I no longer attend the Cruise Line International meetings I still get copied on their working group meetings. Below is from one of their summaries.


US citizens  can travel on closed loop cruises from a US port without a passport if you have proper documents to identify you as a US citizen.  But if something goes wrong and you have to fly back, it is much easier to get an airplane ticket and enter the country if you have a passport
b)      The cost of a passport is expected to rise significantly, so get one before the price goes up.
Any questions about US travel requirements please see:  WWW.Getyouhome.gov.  That site will always be kept updated.
If you have any inkling that you want to travel outside the US I highly suggest you get a passport.  A passport card will provide you travel around North America and the Caribbean but the savings are not enough IMO, just get a passport. You never know when you might be fronted with the opportunity to travel and how silly will you feel if you say I can't.

The bow is the end

From the Orlando Sentinel; the last block, the bow is being lowered into place.  For many this is an exciting milestone for some of us the reality of this point in time makes us realize we have a lot of work ahead of us.
