Remember that in the U.S., they have to jump through hoops to get a child's passport renewed, like both parents' consent/presence to apply. In Canada, we just send in the paperwork with a couple of photos, a signature and a credit card number. So it's really easy for us. That may be part of OPs decision, as well.To be upfront: we have to have passports because we're in Canada, so I don't fully understand the questions posted of having them in the first place because it seems like a no-brainer to me..
That being said, I would renew it.
My reasons: (Here at least) renewal is cheaper than applying for a new one and less of a hassle (less paperwork) than applying for a new one. In the next 5 years, what if you want to travel somewhere else?
You've spent how much on a this cruise? What difference is an additional hundred bucks or so gonna do?
Peace of mind should something happen. It's "only 3 days" isn't excuse enough for me to NOT do something that could potential save me a lot of headache should something go wrong.
