  1. I have cruised 5 times with my kids as a single Dad, including Caribbean cruises and two European cruises. Different embarkation points in Europe each time. I have not ever been asked by European border officials, or other countries for that matter, for a travel letter.

     

    However, we routinely fly to Canada and I have been asked for a travel letter every single time by Canadian customs officials. This only changed very recently, where the airport we now fly into has an automated clearing process and they spend much less time with you. Per Canadian Customs and Immigration website, they do require a travel letter. If you are stopping in Canada, having a travel letter will certainly make your life easier but bringing other documentation likely gets around the issue.

     

    On 1 or 2 occasions (out of dozens) US Customs has asked me for a travel letter returning from Canada. But the request seems perfunctory and I'm not sure they would have pressed the issue. US Customs is not really the issue as they wont refuse US citizens re- entry into the country at that point.

  2. We left on a Disney cruise from Dover, England in summer of 2016. Being unaware of DIsney's policy until the day before the cruise, I had purchased a 1 litre bottle of Crown Royal at duty free. I ended up packing it in my luggage and bags were delivered to my room no problem, with and I thoroughly enjoyed my bottle on the cruise.

     

    Leaving on another European cruise in 2 weeks. Did I just get lucky or is DIS more relaxed in European ports?
