Bringing somebody else's kid

[Cages2000]

Hello

I'm taking my family, and my Daughter's 14 year old best friend on the Miracle over Thanksgiving. I recall that I need her parents to fill out a noterized form allowing us to take her out of the country?? Anyone been through this recently?

Thanks!

The notarized form should also include giving you authorization to seek any medical treatment. If I were you, I'd require trip insurance for your DD's friend. Hope you have it, as well. Make sure DD's friend has the proper proof of citizenship (certified BC PLUS government issued photo ID OR current Passport). Good luck, and happy cruising!

I saw another thread about this, most said with the letter no problem.

If you call Carnival they will send the form to your email. It is Consent for Minor Children to Travel. I tried to find it on the CCL website - you can download it there but no luck. It covers travel and medical on the form.

I took my niece on a cruise years ago and my sister just wrote a letter giving me permission to handle her medical care and needs etc. I can't remember if she had it notorized though. Make sure she has her medical insurance with her also.

Was that before 9-11? So much has changed since then. OP, call the cruise line.

I have taken my son's friends on 3 cruises with us and also a Girl Scout Troop and although we did have a notarized form that I found online with a simple search we were never asked for it and since we had no problems did not need it but I do suggest having it just in case. Just do a google search and you will find one that you can adapt to fit your situation.

Have a Great Cruise.
