Does a 4 year old need any documentation?

He needs a birth certificate or passport.

Yep, I contacted customs and border security a week ago with the same question, as we are taking our kids on their first cruise this spring. As long as the wife and I have our proper documentation all the kids need is a birth certificate (original or notarized copy). Hung up with them and called royal to verify they didn't need anything over and above for them to board

And if his last name on the birth certificate does not match yours, you may need additional documentation.

 

This brings up an important question...what kind of documentation? My DIL has a son with a different last name, but was never married to the father (but he does carry his last name)......there is no contact with the father for years....what ppwk would be needed for him do you think (beyond birth certificate)?

She would need a court order giving her sole custody if she doesn’t have a notarized letter from the father giving her permission to take him out of the country.

They usually need some sort of notarized document from the parent allowing the child to be taken out of the country. In your sister's case, they need to know she is a parent, so she may need some legal court document. I'd contact the cruise line for this info.
