When traveling from US to Caribbean will I need to use my passport.?

We may go to Jamacia, for 2 weeks and my daughters passport has expired, I know I need to renew it, but was wondering if you can go without needing it. When driving through US to Canada last year we didn't need it. Is Jamacia nice? Is it safe for a family trip for a fort night?(2 weeks) Any good things to do while over there. I think we will need the passports but not 100% so that is why I'am asking. What Caribbean Island is best for a holiday? Thank You

Traveling to the US Virgin Islands you do not need a Passport but if you are going to Jamaica yes you need it. Yes Jamaica is very nice if you mean beaches and resorts.. other parts I would not recommend going to(Murder Jamaica). But the best place I would you goto in the Carribean is the Island of St. Thomas it is beautiful and safe to move about through the island and you do not need a passport to travel there but then again a passport is always good to have around for identification however it is not needed.

yes you need it
