Me, my mom and my brother wanna go on a cruise.?

Question

my dad wont be able to because he has business to tend to. Do we need to get him to write a letter saying that it's ok for my mom to take me and my brother? or its not required. we wanna go on a 3 day cruise to Ensenada, Mexico.

Answer 1

It's always better to have one.  If you don't need it great, but you'd hate to get there and have them ask for it.  The last time I took my children out of the country I had a notarized letter of permission from their father and it saved a HUGE hassle at the border.

Answer 2

We have cruised twice with three different families with only 1 parent present.

If there are no custody issues, then your Mom should be able to take you and your brother on a cruise without any issue.

Answer 3

NO !!   You do not need a permission letter as long as you are going with one of your parents.

Answer 4

there are many different answers

Answer 5

I would check with the U.S. Department  of State that has passport and travel information.  Even if they say you don't need it, I would get a notorized letter just in case.  You will be going into another country and never know what might happen.  I'm not trying to scare you.  I just want you to be prepared.
