I have never been asked by RCI when traveling with my daughter but when traveling on a cruise that included Canadian ports, I was asked getting back onto the ship by the Canadian officers. They asked for her passport, and asked her my full name and who I was to her, but did not ask me to produce a letter.

I thought it was odd, as I was getting back ON the ship, and she obviously had a sail and sign card. It wasn't like I picked up a little Canadian child and smuggled her aboard. ;)

That being said, due to custody issues I have had with my ex, I am totally OK with them asking.

Following as well! We are on the Freedom on June 4th. We sailed on her in March for a Caribbean cruise with our kids. Looking forward to this non-kid adventure. Can't wait to hear about your experiences.

DH and I had an adjoining room with our kids on the Freedom. There was only 1 door between the two rooms, but when it was shut, we heard nothing from their room.

I can tell you that when we sailed with our kids, our youngest daughter was 5 and our next oldest. We had 2 kids in the 6-9 group, and then our little one was with the 2-5 group. She was going to be 6 in a few months. She was NOT happy, mainly because this particular cruise had a lot of little ones and very few 5 year olds. The people running camp carnival were very strict about the age limits, however, they did allow my six year old to go into the 2-5 year group to play with her sister. I was pleased with that accommodation.

This was our first camp carnival experience and I was worried we would never get the 5 year old back into camp, but she did go again on our 7 day on the glory by herself and did great. I think it's just a dice roll depending on how many kids are there, etc as to their experience.

Your youngest may be fine in the younger group without siblings, but if not, they will probably allow the older one to move down.

My husband and I looooove this bar. We are disappointed when we book on a ship that doesn't have it. We would give the bartender a flavor suggestion and just let them surprise us with a drink and every drink we ordered was amazing.
