Age of consent on International waters?

Question

If I run into some hot 16 year olds on a cruise I am taking this Friday, what is the age of consent on International waters?

Answer 1

Admiralty Law 101: The events aboard a boat on international waters are governed by the laws of the country under whose flag the boat is registered. If you am on international waters on a boat under the U.S. Flag, that boat is literally an extension of U.S. Federal Law, and the actions of that boat are under federal law.
