An LPR is required to present an I-551 (Green Card) for reentry into the U.S. If you are not a U.S. citizen or a U.S. LPR, you will need a passport and/or the appropriate documentation based on the status you are seeking in the U.S. for any type of cruise, closed loop or not.
You must need a passport within two weeks for international travel, so you will have to purchase your cruise, print out the itinerary and bring it to your appointment. Call the 24-hour hotline at 1-877-487-2778 to find the nearest passport agency and to make an appointment. Be prompt and expect to go through security. Processing can take hours and you won't be able to leave the office. As of November 2013, Passport Agency fees were $195 for first-time applicants and $170 for renewals.
