I don't know about Canada...but in California it would cost you 10.00 per signature.

I don't have it but there is a letter that you use from carnival that is floating around CC somewhere, maybe someone can has the download of it and can post it for you.

That was quick thank you! it is a bit expensive for a few signatures...when you think the cruise was only £100 each!

is this form just for Canival or can you use it for Mexico also.

This is the form we used to take our DGDs on cruises with us.

 

Since our DD is a Notary here in the USA, it cost us nothing.

 

Good luck, your cost does seem a bit pricy.

[crazy about critters]

We took one of our DD friends with us and we are taking another on in Jan. We used a form like the one listed.

Your bank should do it for free. Here in St.L MO they do anyway.

Hope this helps.:rolleyes:

Hummm, never thought of that, i think i'll go ask my bank.

Also could check with your Travel Agent. We used her and it didn't cost us anything.

We've taken several of our children's friends with us over the years and each time I have made up my own letter similar to the samples shown. Carnival just told me to make sure it says something to the effect of giving permission to travel with "child" outside of the United States. I named the ship, dates traveling, who they would be traveling with, etc. Our bank has always notarized things for us for free. More than once, I was never asked for the letter at embarkation. I had to mention it first. :confused:

The letter is not to allow travel but is to let other's know that it is OK for the child to travel with you. It is more for your protection than anything. Any time you get off the ship, the letter needs to go with you.

You are not correct... IT DOES ALLOW TRAVEL based on the signatures attached to the "Consent form" document.

 

It is a legal document and protects all parties when travelling to Mexico as well as satisifes cruiseline requirements.

 

I would carry it with me when off the ship as well.

It is not only the cruiseline requirement, but also supposed to be written when crossing over the border by plane, car ect... with any child that is not your know, this was put into place becasue many non custodial parents were taking kids over the border so no one is incorrect, you are both right, it does allow travel and it also allows the child to cross the border.

Having been in the travel industry for many years as a TA I am aware of the need for it for any travel outside the US, but was referring to the cruisline and Mexico in particuliar, based on the OP's question. Thanks for the additional clarification though ! :cool:

[yogi2929]

In the US the notary validates that the person signing the document is truly the person signing the document. The notary confirms this by ID of the person signing. The notary does not draw up any documents.

 

Is it possible that a Notary is slightly different in the UK? Is it also possible that the fee included the time to write a letter up?

 

The form also allows you to make medical decisions for the minors.
