Default Soon to expire passport: Okay to return to the US?

Thus spake " Uncle Peter" :


You should check to see if passports are even required. Check with the
cruise line and see if photo ID (drivers license) will do along with a
voters reg. card.


voter registration is not considered proof of citizenship.



MEXICO - *Proof of citizenship such as original birth certificate,
naturalization certificate or voters registration card and photo ID. Tourist
card is required. Tourist card valid 3 months for single-entry up to 180
days, $20 fee, requires proof of U.S. citizenship, photo ID, and proof of
