Hey! So myself, my partner , my mother and my grandmother have a Royal Carribean cruise coming up in 2 weeks time. It's a domestic cruise to Australia and leaves from and returns to Brisbane on Quantum of the Seas - 7 day cruise. We did our check in a few weeks ago and asked over the phone about what ID we could put on the cruise pass for my grandmother as she doesn't have a passport (she has never left the country) or a driver's licence (she hasn't driven in over 5 years). So we put in her card number for her seniors card. All was good until a few days ago where I read that we need photo ID to get on board. So we have spent the last few days frantically trying to get her photo ID which we've been told is impossible unless she changes her name- the issue here is that her birth certificate says 'Rose Porteus' but when she was a kid everyone called her Bonnie so come the time for real ID everything she has says 'Bonnie Rose Chapman (married name, has been divorced for like 40 years now but still has her married name ). So we have tried everything we can and our last resort is going to be writing a statement declaring she is who she says she is and getting a pustice of the peace to sign it. What are the chances Royal Carribean are going to leave an 86 year old woman stranded at the dock when we board in 2 weeks time because we have no photo ID for her? Has anyone encountered a similar issue ?? How did they handle it ?? We dont live in Brisbane either we are travelling from Perth a few days beforehand. Thanks in advance ! Sage Whitworth
