I booked a cruise for my husband and I, my 22 year old son and my 20 year old son, and we allowed them to bring a friend each who happen to both be 20 years old.
RCCL considers the 20 year old friends as minors, and it appears I have to get a letter notarized from their parents (the sample form attached) allowing them to travel with us and assigning someone to make medical decisions on their behalf??? This is so bizarre. Am I reading this policy right? I tried calling guest services twice but I just get people who seem just as confused as I am... In the end, they say it is necessary to have. However, the form that they supposedly need clearly states it is for minors 0-17 years old. I feel silly asking their parents for this.
Has anyone been through this and how did you handle it? Should I just cross out the "0-17" and put "20?" I really don't want to show up to port and have them turn us away.
