Yep, you DEFINITELY need a notarized letter from other parent saying it is ok to bring child on cruise. Regardless if other parent is there or not. You will rarely get away with not having this letter. Not worth the risk, because they will turn you around and not let you on ship.
Adults who are not the parent or legal guardian of a minor traveling with them must present an original notarized letter signed by the child's parent(s), authorizing the adult to take the child on the specific cruise, supervise the child and allow emergency medical treatment to be administered.
Contact A Notary Public: After drafting your letter, reach out to a local notary public or use online services like NotaryCam. Presentation For Verification: Present yourself along with identification documents before signing under oath in front of them.
For most itineraries, you must present a passport or birth certificate, depending on your citizenship. Guests 16 years of age and older will also need a photo ID. Disney Cruise Line does not require any additional documentation to travel with one parent.
