Depends on if the ship is the Triumph , then your going to need the entire families as well as cousins and their friends approval ;)

If he's 18 he doesnt need anyones permission to go as far as I know. He would be considered a legal adult at that time.

I dont think you need permission at 18

We are also taking a friend of my son's who is 18 and Carnival told me to have a letter from parents authorizing us to take him out of country and for medical attention. I thought it was wierd since he is legally an adult but Better safe than sorry I guess.

As others have mentioned, he's 18 and considered an adult. My son's friend needed a notarization when he was under 18 and the parents were divorced. Because the father wasn't in the boy's life, the mother's consent was fine. If the boys have their own cabin, you have to have one responsible adult's name on the reservation (you can switch later - everyone does it and it's never a problem). Then again, certain cruise lines might have different "rules" as they say - if the cabin is right next door to the adults' cabin, should not be a problem but always best to separate it by the name as I mentioned and then it will all work out for you.

18 is fine but just not to have his own cabin.
