My 15 year old is going on a cruise this Friday with us.... Hopefully...On previous cruises we had a notarized letter giving permission, but his dad has agreed from him to go this time, but will not get it notarized for lazy reasons. I have custody of our son and no passport (none of us do). It's an Alaskan cruise with one stop to B.C. I've never been asked for the notarized statement in the past, so if I have a signed statement from his father but not notarized, I am wondering if he can still cruise with us?? We have to fly to our port this time so it makes me nervous not having this piece of paper....Anyone have any experience with this issue?? Basically, an ex who will not cooperate because he is an ***! Son can go, have voicemails and text messages stating so, just won't cooperate with notarizing anything....Won't even meet me (and we are in different states, but I'm willing to drive to do this) because he is an ***! What do I do???? Airfare, cruise, excursions all paid for.....
