Cruise ships are a great way to see the world, but for those who want to take advantage of the onboard bars, there are still certain restrictions that must be followed.
For most cruise ships, anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages on board. Generally speaking, those under 18 will not be served alcohol at any time during the voyage. However, many cruise lines have their own policies when it comes to drinking on board.
Carnival Cruise Lines has an age policy in place that requires passengers over 21 years of age to present valid photo identification when purchasing or consuming alcoholic beverages. This policy applies to all passengers regardless of whether they are traveling with children or not. Additionally, any passenger under 21 years old may not purchase alcohol for anyone over 21 years old.
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines also has an age policy in place that requires passengers over 21 years of age to present valid photo identification when purchasing or consuming alcoholic beverages. Additionally, guests under 18 years old may not purchase or consume alcohol at any time during their voyage and those between 18 and 20 may only do so if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who is responsible for them at all times during the cruise.
Disney Cruise Line, like Carnival and Royal Caribbean, also has an age policy in place that requires passengers over 21 years of age to present valid photo identification when purchasing or consuming alcoholic beverages. However, Disney does allow passengers between 18-20 who are traveling with parents or guardians to purchase and consume beer and wine only if their parents approve it in writing beforehand.
Overall, each cruise line has its own rules and regulations when it comes to drinking on board so it’s important for travelers to check with each individual line before they book a cruise so they can be aware of what is allowed while on board.
In conclusion, the general rule is that you must be at least 21 years old in order to drink on a cruise ship; however some cruise lines have different policies regarding drinking depending on your age and whether you are traveling with a parent/guardian or not. It’s important for travelers to check each individual line’s policy before booking a cruise so they know what is allowed while onboard.
