Sheal Posted January 20, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi Everyone, I have typed up the following letter (based on my interpretation of RC's requirements when traveling with a minor) and plan to have each parent sign (parents are divorced). Does this appear to cover all bases? I, XXX, give permission for my daughter, XXX, to travel with XXX and XXX to Florida and embark on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas departing XXX returning on XXX. XXX and XXX have permission to sign any legal documentation/waivers in order for XXX to participate in any activities that may require one (i.e. Rock Climbing, Flowrider, Bungee Trampoline, Inline Skating, or Ice Skating). XXX and XXX are authorized to supervise XXX and are authorized to permit any medical treatment necessary. _____________________ Parent ______________________ Notary Would you recommend that I type up an additional letter for medical purposes covering our time pre-cruise? Thanks, Sheal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted January 20, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2011 you will also need both parents legal permission to get off the ship in mexico, not sure of other ports. you also need power of atty to make any medical decisions, in case of broken arm, sea sickness in case you can not reach her parents where time is a factor. you can get power of atty for lenght of cruise, also have her insurance card, just in case she is evacatuated to miami. we need all this for our grandson..............

Sheal Posted January 20, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I was not aware of Mexico's requirement. If anyone else has any suggestions I would appreciate them. Off to amend the letter. Sheal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted January 20, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I would make sure the names in your document match exactly the names on the passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merees17 Posted January 20, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2011 We use a similar one. My suggestions. Including passport # is another layer of security. Also have parents include a fax number where they will be on day of sailing just in case anything needs to be faxed to them from port for signatures or verification. I, XXX, give permission for my daughter, XXX, passport # to travel with XXX, passport # and XXX, passport # to Florida on (date) and embark on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas departing XXX The ship will be stopping at the following ports of call ........................... and then returning on XXX. XXX and XXX have permission to sign any legal documentation/waivers in order for XXX to participate in any activities that may require one (i.e. Rock Climbing, Flowrider, Bungee Trampoline, Inline Skating, or Ice Skating). XXX and XXX are authorized to supervise XXX and are authorized to permit any medical treatment necessary. _____________________ Date: ____________ Can be reached at (phone, cell, fax, email) Parent ______________________ Notary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheal Posted January 21, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks everyone! DD's friend has already obtained the info you all suggested (she can't wait to go) and I have revised my original letter. I also found a "temporary" power of attorney letter to cover any medical issues. Better to have too much than too little. Sheal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
