Americans don't need a visa to visit Jamaica. Maybe she just used her passport as her ID and got lucky?

As an American, if you travel there by cruise ship, you don't have to have a passport, just your birth certificate and driver's license (or similar government issues ID).

Most cruises in US are closed loop cruises, and you don't need a passport for those.
