Necessary paperwork for taking grandchildren on a cruise

[hateswaterloves2cruise]

I know I've read in these boards about the paperwork needed when you are taking children (not your own) on a cruise, but when I used the search nothing came up.

We are taking our 2 teenage grandsons on a cruise for spring break. What do I need to have with us for NCL and any port we may get off at?? Is a notarized statement from the parents sufficient or is there something special we need. Thank you to anyone who can offer help.:)

Thank you so much. I've been searching the NCL site but didn't go far enough I guess.

This is the more specific area for you. The link to the parental consent form is there. But make sure they have all their normal travel docs like passports or birth certificates, etc.

There is a form on NCL's website to be used when a minor is sailing without any parent or guardian:

You may also want to get a notarized statement from their parents authorizing you to make any and all decisions related to medical care while on vacation.
