For people that's sailed and left their kids behind

[ShoMeChiefsFan]

This question is for people that have been on a cruise and left their kids behind when they went. We are going on Liberty next month the week of Valentines day. DD is staying behind with a friend of hers, what kind of form do I need to fill out giving them permission to have her medically seen about in case of an emergency? Have found all kinds of forms for taking a friend on a cruise without their parents, but none for this. Any help out there? I know she'll be fine, but I want to be thorough. You never know when something unexpected may come up.

 

Its called a Power of Attorney. You can get a limited Power of Attorney, which is basically from the dates that you will be sailing from, you also have to designate who will have this Power of Attorney. Its a pretty good idea to have one made up in case a situation would happen that would not enable you to make any decesions on your own, I.E. death, car accident, coma, etc......

 

this form will give the care taker all rights to making decesions in dealing with your kids, which includes health, medical care, education, and custody issues.

 

You can find them on the web by doing a search engine!

 

Good luck! You will enjoy the time away!

I thought of something else. Make sure your kid's school knows you are out of town and who the care giver is.

Already done that one also;)
