Families with Children Show Most cruise lines welcome children to travel on their ships, though infants and pregnant women are subject to some restrictions (click here to read more). Families booking more than one cabin may be subject to minimum age requirements for kids staying in a separate cabin. Your Vacations To Go cruise counselor can check these requirements for you once you have found a cruise that interests you. Guests Under 25 Years of Age All cruise lines require that at least one person in each cabin meet a minimum age requirement. The lowest minimum age requirement for any cruise line is 18. The information that follows was provided by the cruise lines at the time of this writing, is subject to change and should be verified with your Vacations To Go cruise counselor prior to booking. The following cruise lines require that at least one person in each cabin is 18 or older: Cunard, Explora Journeys, MSC Cruises (when departing from international ports), Oceania, P&O Cruises, Ponant, Quark Expeditions, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, SeaDream and Star Clippers. The following cruise lines require that all passengers in a cabin are 18 or older or that at least one person in the cabin is 21 or older: Disney Cruise Line, Silversea and Viking. The following cruise lines require that at least one person in each cabin is 21 or older: Azamara, Celebrity, Holland America, Hurtigruten, MSC Cruises (when departing from ports in the U.S.), Norwegian Cruise Line, Paul Gauguin Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Seabourn Cruise Line. The following cruise lines require that all passengers in a cabin are 21 or older or that at least one person in the cabin is 25 or older: Carnival, Costa and Windstar Cruises. For Carnival and Windstar, an exception may be made for underage married couples, as long as they are both 18. For Costa, an exception may be made for underage married couples, as long as they are both 21. These couples may be asked to show proof of their marriage. This exception is based on individual cruise line policy and should be confirmed by your Vacations To Go cruise counselor prior to booking. Carnival also makes exceptions for qualified U.S. Military personnel who are at least 18 years of age. Proof of military eligibility will be needed when booking, as well as the appropriate verification documents at embarkation. Carnival and Costa guests between the ages of 18 and 21 on a booking may have their own cabin, only if the booking is cross-referenced with the adult relative or guardian's stateroom. Your age on the date of sailing is generally considered your age for the length of the cruise. Consumption of Alcohol Once you've left port, the minimum age for the consumption of alcohol varies by cruise line. P&O Cruises allows all passengers 18 and older to consume any type of alcoholic beverage they choose. The minimum drinking age for all alcoholic beverages on all Azamara, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean ships is 21. However, on cruises departing from European and South American countries, where the legal drinking age is typically lower than 21, a parent who is sailing with his or her son(s) and/or daughter(s) who is between the ages of 18 to 20, may sign a waiver allowing the 18 to 20 year old to consume alcoholic beverages. Costa and MSC Cruises require passengers to be at least 21 for cruises departing from the US, but passengers 18 and older are able to consume alcohol for non-US departures. Cunard allows guests 18 and older to consume alcoholic beverages, except when in US waters, in which case no alcohol may be purchased or consumed by any passengers under the age of 21. Carnival, Disney Cruise Line, Holland America, Hurtigruten, Norwegian, Oceania, Paul Gauguin Cruises, Ponant, Princess, Quark Expeditions, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn Cruise Line, SeaDream, Silversea, Star Clippers, Viking and Windstar require passengers to be at least 21 to consume any type of alcohol. Gambling Onboard Gambling, a popular form of entertainment on cruise ships, also has age restrictions that differ between cruise lines. Carnival, Costa, Cunard, Holland America, Norwegian, Oceania, P&O, Paul Gauguin Cruises, Regent Seven Seas and SeaDream require passengers to be 18 or older to play in the shipboard casinos. Azamara, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean require passengers to be 18 or older to play in casinos, except for Alaska cruises (passengers must be 21 or older). MSC Cruises, Princess, Seabourn, Silversea and Windstar restrict the casinos to travelers 21 and older.
Recommended Posts Is the drinking age on Carnival ships 21? Or is it lower when out to sea? Also I assume it's 18 in port (Nassau). Is that correct? Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to commentShare on other sites
it is 21 all the time even in port. 21 on the ship Link to commentShare on other sites
If you're off the ship: Legal drinking age in the bahamas is 18 years old. Link to commentShare on other sites
I took the question as ON Carnival Ships. so my answer stands. ports are dictated by the countries laws Link to commentShare on other sites
on the ship it's always 21. in ports, it can vary. 18 is not uncommon as a 'legal' drinking age. neither is it uncommon to be served if one is 'tall enough to place an order at the bar', realistically speaking. Link to commentShare on other sites
I wasn't trying to criticize or correct your answer, just expand on it. Link to commentShare on other sites
Certainly it's 21 on the ship no matter where you are. Had to laugh! So true in port in Nassau .. "tall enough to order at the bar with cash to pay for drinks" works. :D Link to commentShare on other sites
I'm about to disembark the sunshine in a few hours. [emoji24] everyone is Correct. My DS is 19 and he was able to drink at all the port, including Bahamas, with the exception of HMC. That's 21 still. If you stay onboard while at a port, it's still 21. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Edited August 17, 2016 by mibarron Link to commentShare on other sites
We took a land vacation to the Bahamas about ten years ago. My then 20-year old daughter was excited she could drink legally. Until she realized she shouldn't drink, being six months pregnant. Link to commentShare on other sites
My 19 year old DD came home yesterday all excited that she had been invited on a cruise with her friends family...then she figured out it was 2 weeks before her 21st birthday and she still wouldn't be legal on the ship :p. Link to commentShare on other sites
It has been my experience that they don't check ID. We took my son on a cruise when he was 17 right after graduation and 2 weeks shy of his 18th birthday and first day of boot camp. He ordered a bucket of beer with no problem. Tipped well and they continued to serve him. Now, before anyone flames me for letting my 17 year old drink 1. he was with me the whole time and 2. He was serving our country 2 days before his 18th birthday and spent his 21st in the desert. Link to commentShare on other sites
this sounds EXTREMELY rare and the person that served him could and should get fired. I dont think the S&S card will not allow them to ring up alcohol if they are underage. this is the 1st time I ever heard of this happening. (I am not saying I condone or disagree with a 17 year old drinking. I do disagree with Carnival serving him. They can be heavily fined. If he got hurt and was found to have been served alcohol, Carnival would be HEAVILY fined and probably sued) Link to commentShare on other sites
Not going to flame you. Not my kid and not my business. But I am surprised this has been your experience. My understanding is that their S&S card would confirm they are under age. I cannot imagine staff risking their employment to serve someone under age. Link to commentShare on other sites
He just gave them my card. Yes, possibly rare but probably not as rare as you think. Link to commentShare on other sites
ok, they should still be fired for someone underage using someone elses card Its about liability and getting fined. Carnival should have never let him get it with your card. I truly hope its a rare as I think. Otherwise Carnival will be sued and fined an awful lot Link to commentShare on other sites
I personally know of someone who had no problem at 19 being served on board on a southern Caribbean route. Not my kin so not my beef. I think it's how adult you act that is more important. But for those of you that are holier than thou and are you should do this and do as I... Get a life and stay out of others :p Link to commentShare on other sites
I hope you are not referring to me. as I stated... I dont care if he drinks alcohol or not. its a question of liability and $$ (fines). the child could get hurt and then Carnival will be in a great deal of trouble if they were found to have served him alcohol. From a Carnival perspective, this is a nightmare and the server should be fired. as for the child... I dont have issues with him drinking especially under his families supervision Link to commentShare on other sites
Regarding direction to the live and let live statement. it's only a general statement to all who feel they need to judge others. To previous poster, Thank you for your son's service. As far as liability, I agree that it could come back to haunt Carnival if an accident were to happen. So I amend my statement to include... Hang all lawyers which is a little contrary to the live and let live :rolleyes: Edited

Jay's Soapbox: A person who is 18 can: Get married, with or without parental consent. Vote for whatever candidate he/she wants. Serve, and possibly die for his/her country, yet cannot take a drink. No opinion here, just sayin'

lololol :d Link to commentShare on other sites
Totally agree thus the reason I let him drink. Link to commentShare on other sites
some people are talking about a "fine", under what law? a ship at sea is like an autonomy. No one on board has a ticket book. The drinking age is a rule, not a law, unless you are docked in a U.S. port. Link to commentShare on other sites
This is different than how you originally stated it. I thought he was using his own card and was confused because I know your age is directly linked to the S&S card. Nothing wrong with him having a few beers. Hell, my mom was getting me Cosmos as that age. Next time though for anyone who allows their underage kid to drink, just order it yourself and give it to them rather than them using your card. Then the server isn't liable if anything happens and they shouldn't be. Happy cruising. Edited August 17, 2016 by TheTravelista Link to commentShare on other sites
You don't quite understand how things work. Ship security can act on any violation of policy or of the law that occurs on the ship. So, while you are right about no ticket book, they can and will confine you to your room and either disembark you at the next port or turn you over local LE depending on the severity.
