Guardian Form

[SC166H]

I will be cruising with my two nieces ages 11 and 13. I was told I need a letter from their parents so they can travel with me and so I can authorize things like activities on the ship. Has anyone done this and have the form that is needed?

This is what Royal requires:

I have used this one from the passport office before with no issues:

I am traveling with my GS. This is a notarized letter I have typed up and used in the past. In addition, only one parent needs to sign. I always include the flight information in case the airline needs it as well.

To be on the safe side, it should also state that you have the authority to sign waivers for any onboard activity or excursion. I also normally put a sentence at the end stating that I am aware that fight times and cruise itineraries are subject to change, and that I authorize the guardian to accept those changes on behalf of the child

Never have needed the waiver part when we traveled previously, but that is a good point. Need to have all bases covered.
