If you are travelling for a week or less, you are required only to be in possession of valid photo identification and proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate) 

US citizens can also enter Curaçao with a birth certificate and a picture ID, or a valid passport, in addition to the ongoing or return ticket. It is however important to remember that as of January 2007, all United States citizens are required to have a passport to return to the US. 

UK citizens must use a valid passport and be in possession of a return ticket. 

Citizens of most countries in the world do not need a visa for their entry to the island; however some do so make sure to check with your travel operator when planning your trip.
