JNS123 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 We are sailing on our first Royal cruise, this November. We are going as a family of four. However, my wife has a different last name than me and my kids. Does this mean that we will need to bring any extra documentation to the port? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Her name should just match the one on her passport or birth certificate if you are going that route. Same with you and the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaa Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Your last name on yours, her last name on hers and the kids last name on theirs. That all should match the last names with which you booked as well. JNS123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It may be too late for this one, but I would recommend working with a good travel agent in the future. They can assist in this type of thing and make sure everyone has the right documents. Good Luck! If you don't have a travel agent currently, i'd recommend MEI travel (blog sponsor). In this case, you should contact Royal directly to ensure that you have the information from the source. While i trust many things on this site, it's worth it to verify some things with Royal, just to make sure something with your trip doesn't require changes.

Momof4crazytocruise Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have a different last name than my husband and kids. The kids all have their own passport with their names. We have never been given any issue whatsoever with booking or boarding. Additionally, my parents took our kids on a cruise, totally different last names than the kids, no issue. I did have to fill out some forms and have them notarized for them to travel with their grandparents, but my folks said they didn't even look at the docs.

wordell1 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 It's very normal for a parent to have a different last name. The important thing is for the name on the reservation to match what is on their passport/ID. WAAAYTOOO and FloatyBoaty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
