I'm in a very similar situation. The MSC Seaside in March 2018. Rooms were getting booked left and right. My agent found my son (will be 25 months at time of cruise), wife, and I a balcony room one room away from my parents. The agent expressed that we can book the room but must fill out an Occupancy Letter for my son and submit it to MSC for approval before MSC would process my payment. This was strange to me because the room has two beds and a couch and can certainly accommodate the 3 of us. Furthermore, the waiver only states any information for having a 5th person in a room. The waiver doesn't really seem to apply to my situation. Regardless I signed it and sent it back and am now waiting on MSCs approval (I hope).

Anyone else find this strange? Or has anyone else delt with this before?

Thanks!!!

Will my child, who will be 17 months old at time of cruising, need a passport? If not what type of identifying documents will I need?

Awesome thanks so much for the quick responses!

I'm cruising in April on the Getaway w/ my wife and baby (will be 17 months). And my parents and in-laws. I'm interested in purchasing 4 or 5 night specialty dining and my question is will I have to pay for my 17 month old son as well as myself and wife?
