    Drinking age on different cruise lines

    I was wondering if there were any major cruise lines that allow drinking at the age of 18... Me and a group of friends from school are looking into going on a cruise for our spring break.. So i was just wondering if any allow drinking at 18.. I know Carnival does not since i was just on it a year ago.. Let me know, thanks

    It depends on where you are going. If your are going to the Caribbean as far as I know all ships have a minimum of 21 drinking age. I understand the Mediterranean age is lower.

    Lots of info. And don't feel discouraged if you can't drink. The bartenders onboard know how to mix all the popular drinks in "virgin" style.

    HAL -- drinking age is 21 - no matter where the ship is.

    Hope that you are traveling with some adults -- otherwise you can't book the cruise.

    Please do not take this type word in a bashing fashion.. Hard to translate inuendo's.
    I can understand a cruise line setting the drinking age at 21.
    However,, that being said. Not all ports are that.. some are 18..
    But, you may encounter a problem trying to board the ship from said port if you are being carried and not able to handle it yourself.
    Myself, with my 19yr old son, I have no problem letting him share a beer with the "Old Man"..
    If he can die for his country, he can toss back a couple with me.. Period.

    have a great trip....

    As long as minimum age isn't 62, I'm good!

    snoodel I completely agree with you!
