whitsmom Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I have already done my on line check in and at the time I selected birth certificates for my 2 granddaughters as they did not have a passport. They just got their passport and I can't find where I can change and update to put their passport numbers in. Will this matter if we wait until we get checked in at the port?

BrianAlt Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 They can update the information at the port. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitsmom Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I figured we would do it at the port but I didn't want to have any issues on check in. Looks like you would be able to change it thru an edit but that field is not there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 @whitsmom You may already know this make sure you bring a notarized letter from the parents (unless you have custody) authorizing you to take the grand kids out of the country or you won't be allowed to board. We also now carry an officially copy of my son's birth certificate along with his passport as it is the only legal document that establishes that we are in fact his parents. Although I read this was recommended, I've never needed it, even when traveling through Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter, Son-n-Law, and my Grandsons are coming too - they are just in two other staterooms across the hall from us. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also call RCCI customer service (there's a number on their website) and they can make those changes for you. That will save you the time at the port and give you peace of mind that all is ok. You can even check back online and make sure those changes are in. I've called them for lots of changes (like shore excursions, spa times, etc.) and they are always very fast and helpful. Yes, it should be much easier to do these things online! whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will call them later today and do this. I am one who likes to make sure I have all my ducks in a row (so to speak).

Although I read this was recommended, I've never needed it, even when traveling through Europe. My big story with this - when I was 14 my mom wanted to bring us to Cancun on a vacation with her side of the family (my parents divorced when I was 8) We got to the airport, and they asked my mom for the notarized letter saying that we could be brought out of the country since my parents had joint custody. That was a scary hour or so at the airport, but my dad was able to fax over a notarized letter saying everything was good and we were able to board our flight.

Atlantix2000 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I've seen a few references to people needing letters due to divorce. How does anyone at the port know a child's parents are divorced and need a letter? Is it noted on their passport or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i took my 3 kids on a cruise without my husband i was told to bring the notorized letter. I never had to show it but it was the same as if i was divorced...they just want to make sure you have 2 parent consent. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
