Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently sailing with my niece and I have had a permission slip filled out by her parents and I keep it with me

although on this cruise and other cruises in the past I have never once been asked for it either at the cruise ports or at checkin

always always always still have it keep it with you if you're traveling with miners who don't

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check with cruise lines for their specific policies on minors traveling without parents
✓Obtain a minor consent form from the cruise line and have it signed by the parent or legal guardian
✓Keep the permission slip with you at all times, even if it's never been asked for
✓Ensure you have the minor's travel documents, such as a passport, and keep them secure
