i am an australian citizen and was looking to go on a cruise roundtrip sydney with either Princess or royal caribbean with some friends (we are all 18.) Are we allowed to travel at 18 years of age or do we need to be 21?

Answer 1

Blimey, mate, you are not cruising anywhere without people over 21 in the cabin.

Answer 2

Royal Caribbean requires you to be 21, or to have someone over the age of 21 in the cabin with you ...

Answer 3

to book your cruise you need to be 21 and to sail you need someone to be 21 or over "in the cabin".

see rcci.com

same with princess.com

Answer 4

You'll want to check with the particular cruise line.  Most of them will allow you on if you are 18+ but some do not. If I remember correctly, Crystal Cruises was strictly 21+.

Your entertainment choices might be limited in the 18-21 group. More than children, but possibly less than adult..
