I would like to add a twist to this. I have court ordered custody of my two great nieces and have had for over 6 years. They were taken from the mother by the state of Florida and placed in my custody. The father never participated in any of the court actions. Their parental rights weren't severed. The children do have my last name and I am single.

We went on the Miracle last March to Nassau. I did have my court orders but they did not ask to see them. I had called Carnaval and that is what they had told me I would need. We were booked in a Cat 11 and used the separate check in area for suites. The ladies couldn't have been nicer and never asked anything.

I hear everyone saying get a letter from the judge. Have you ever had to deal with the court system? I have been trying to get the children's case moved from Florida to Kentucky since last March and we are now on the docket for January. I sure hope getting a letter signed by a judge is easier and doesn't require going to court or I will never be able to take the kids out of the country.
