deep1 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I know its probably been asked and answered a bunch of times. I did a look and cant find though... We have our 18 y/o likely going skiing rather than join us for our March cruise. Our 17 y/o is on the fence. If he could bring his friend, he'd likely go. The friend has certified birth certificate but a New Jersey license that doesn't have that special star (NJ doesn't issue to minors). Would that be a deal breaker getting him on closed loop US departure/ return? What permission paperwork from his folks would we need to get and bring? I'd prefer bringing him/ them to cancelling one cabin and two guests... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregD Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 The Real ID (star) is not needed. As far as permission documents, this form is what you need. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/resources/pdf/minor-traveling-without-parent-or-guardian-form.pdf deep1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I did a cruise with kids who were not my own. They did not have ID as they were not all of driving age-they all had passports. From what iI can remember I had the parents do an authorization for me to act as the kid's medical person in the event of an injury that required a doctor/hospitalization and I had them give me a photo copy of their medical card. The authorization, which I had created, based on documents I found online, specified the dates of travel and "any extensions related to the trip" or some such wording and I had the parents notarize it. Sorry I no longer have the document I created or I would share it. I carried those documents with me and Royal never asked for them. I also had the letter for Royal -see GregD- that stated the kids were under my care. The only thing I think you need to double check.....can that kid be assigned to a cabin with your kid with no adults in the cabin? I vaguely recall, and I can be very wrong, that we had to have 1 adult in each room. We had multiple kids who were not ours, adjoining spacious OV rooms. I had hubby on one reservation with my son and 2 unrelated girls and myself on another with my daughter and unrelated 2 girls. When we got onboard we got extra room keys so the girls could be in their own room. deep1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
