I was told by a
DCL rep that my son needed a permissionletter to take his son on the cruise b/c his mom wasn't coming with us. I understand from this board that a form comes with the cruise documents, but I didn't want to wait until the last minute so I prepared an Affidavit for my former-DIL to sign that gave permission for my grandson to travel with his and/or me and also gave us permission to obtain medical care if needed:
AFFIDAVIT

You may not be asked for a permission letter, but better safe than sorry in my opinion.
Sorry ... the formating didn't come thru right, but it gives you an idea.
