Unforseen matters may occur during a cruise which requires us to obtain specific consents from the responsible adult travelling with your child (“the Guardian”).
The point of it is that the notary witnesses the parents signing the letter of consent. The parents need to be present with the notary. The parents can sign the same letter, the same piece of paper but with separate appointments at different notaries if they prefer. Or sign two separate letters.
