Age questions

[Tayremichele]

So I’m looking in to going on a cruise with my sister I’m currently 21 and she is 14. Could we go alone or would I have to have a parent go with us. By the time we go we may be 22 and 15 as well depending on when I book.

Royal allows a minor in a stateroom as long as there is a reponsible adult age 21 or older in the same stateroom.

you will need to get a notarized letter from the both or the custodial parent giving you permission to leave the country with the minor.

 

 

you should probably also have medical power of attorney in case medical attention is needed

Both not required.  Here's the quote from RCCL. 

 

Adults who are not the parent or Legal Guardian of any minor child traveling with them are required to present the child's valid passport and visa or the child's birth certificate (original, a notarized copy or a certified copy) and an original notarized letter signed by at least one of the child's parents. The notarized letter from the child's parent must authorize the traveling adult to take the child on the specific cruise, must authorize guardian to sign legal documentation/waivers for participation in any activities requiring them (i.e. Rock Climbing, Flowrider, Bungee Trampoline, Inline Skating, or Ice Skating) and must authorize the traveling adult to supervise the child and permit any medical treatment that must be administered to the child. If a non-parent adult is a Legal Guardian, the adult must present a certified certificate of Guardianship with respect to the child.

I would rather have both, or a court order of sole custody.

 

Easier than standing arguing while the ship sails.

If that's possible I guess that would be more comforting.  However, sometimes that's just not possible.
