Creator's Key Takeaways

If your child has a different last name than you, here's what you need to cruise.

If your last names don't match, you need proof that ties you together.

When last names don't match, the right documents can be the difference between boarding and being left behind.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a passport for the smoothest experience.
✓For closed-loop cruises, use an original state-issued birth certificate if no passport.
✓Bring proof of relationship if last names don't match (marriage certificate, adoption papers, etc.).
✓If only one parent is traveling, bring a notarized letter from the other parent.
✓If child is cruising with a grandparent, aunt, or family friend, bring a notarized guardian consent form.
