GUARDIAN LETTER

[TP2023]

I'M BRINGING MY NEPHEW ALONG WITH ME. THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST CRUISE. HE IS 10 YEARS OLD. WHAT DOCUMENTATION WILL I NEED FROM HIS PARENTS? I HAVE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE. WILL I NEED A NOTORIZED LETTER? WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE LETTER? PERMISSION TO BOARD THE CRUISE, PERMISSION FOR ACTIVITIES, PERMISSION FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (IF NEEDED, HOPEFULLY NOT)?

The FAQ includes a sample letter here: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-if-i-am-traveling-with-a-minor-and-i-am-not-their-parent-legal-guardian

This is the basic format I used to create the letter. https://eforms.com/consent/minor-child-travel/ I think at the end, it wants you to pay for it in order to download and use it, but I just took screenshots, typed it out in Word, printed it, and had it notarized at my local UPS store. You can make the form applicable to your state too. Hope this helps!

Friendly public service announcement: WRITING IN ALL CAPS ONLINE = Yelling.

Yes to everything you said, I also included a line that I could make medical decisions and it included any extension of the trip due to unforeseen circumstances.  Also get copies of the parents insurance cards.

Thanks for all the help. I was able to generate a letter and get it notarized. 

Sorry for the all caps, my job requires all caps and I forget to turn it off.
