Do parents who want to visit their daughter in the United States need a separate visa for a cruise ship travel to the Bahamas with her? The daughter has a U.S. Green Card; the parents stay for 90 days in the U.S. on ESTA visa waiver. Are there problems to get back into the U.S. at Florida?

No. My mom, an American citizen, didn’t go there with a passport.
It should be OK.., the US Customs and Immigration accept about 800 forms of ID for loop cruises which are specifically exempted from many of the immigration laws
Here is all the CURRENT passport/visa information you could ever use DIRECT from the U.S. GOVERNMENT.. If you have a QUESTION about passports or international travel for Amerikans.. THIS IS THE PLACE TO LOOK IT UPhttp://travel.state.gov/
For people needing a TRANSIT VISA, here is the latest information on that.
The United States have suspended the Transit Without Visa Program after 9/11. Anybody who needs a visa to travel to the United States also needs one for transit through a U.S. Airport. Exempted are:
• U.S. citizen; U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents (Green Card holders); U.S. B1/B2 visa holders • citizen of countries who are exempt from the visa requirement (Bermuda, Canada, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau)
Citizens of all other countries either need to get a U.S. C-1 transit visa [processing fee: $140] prior to travel or need to apply for an online travel authorization (ESTA) if they hold a passport of 36 selected countries which participate on the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. Those are: Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Czech Republic¹, Denmark, Estonia¹, Finland, France, Germany, Greece¹, Hungary¹, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia¹, Liechtenstein, Lithuania¹, Luxembourg, Malta¹, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia¹, Slovenia, South Korea¹, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom
[¹ = e-passport required].
The ESTA application involves a fee of $14 to be paid by credit card [MasterCard, VISA, American Express, and Discover (JCB, Diners Club)]. Payments can also be made with a debit card that holds the MasterCard or VISA symbol. In the address column just enter “In transit to Bermuda”.https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.html ..https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/… ..http://germany.usembassy.gov/visa/niv/vi… ..

Probably not. Anyone from a country that is VWP-eligible (ESTA confitmation to visit the USA) almost certainly does not need a visa to visit the Bahamas and return to the USA.

Check with your health insurance to find out if it covers you abroad. If yes then take proof of coverage with you. If no or not sure then get trip medical insurance, which is cheap and sold by airlines & travel agents. Please do not skimp on this as an otherwise-silly accident could turn into a crisis if you don’t have medical insurance.
If you are planning a long visit then DON’T schedule your departure day for the 90th day (any part of a day in the USA counts as a whole day, so if you arrive at 23:59h on the 1st and leave at 00:01h on the 10th it is 10 days in the USA). Schedule your departure not later than the 88th day as there are no (zero) provisions in the Visa Waiver Program for someone to voluntarily extend their stay. If you miss your flight due to something Immigration might consider avoidable (ex. flat tire on the way to the airport) they may ban you from using the VWP in the future.
