Do you feel a Cruise passport document should be made mandatory for travellers similar to passport mandatory in air international travel?

Thanks & Regards,

The keyword is an "international travel". If the cruise ship is not traveling internationally but locally, a passport is not needed.

Some countries accept regular id, and passport is not needed.

e.g. if you have EU citizenship (any EU country citizenship), you can travel entire Europe, without passport.

I wouldn't bet on that.

In my (very limited) experience, if you wanted to get on or off the ship, you needed a passport.
What would another document achieve?

That only applies to Eu countries that are members of the Schengen Area.
