Refuse to Sign Minor Consent Form

[crusinmama06]

We talk about this all the time on the Family cruise board. It JUST DEPENDS on who is sitting there at the customs desk when you walk through. Some of us have been asked for our letters, some haven't.

 

When I travel without my husband, I still bring the letter.

 

Here is the section from Carnival's web site that talks about the letter. It's one of those hit/miss things. You can take a gamble. I don't envy your situation at all. :(:(:(

 

Important Note: Traveling with a Minor

When traveling with a minor where both parents or legal guardians are not cruising, we strongly recommend bringing an original signed letter from the absent parents/legal guardians authorizing the minor to travel with you. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security. Please note that a notarized letter to this affect is required if debarking with children in Mexico (sailing one-way and not returning to the cruise).

Update:

We ALL enjoyed our cruise together - nobody even mentioned the letter - no questions (even went to Mexico)

Did the ex end up signing it?

So glad your son was able to go and everyone was able to enjoy the time together.
