Can minors travel on cruises without parents?

Question

I want to take a cruise this summer and I have my mom's permission but I'm not sure if I'll be able to...

Answer 1

No, not unless an adult (not necessarily a parent) comes along as a chaperone.

Different cruise lines have different rules about chaperones; some require them to be 21, some say 25.

Answer 5

No minors can not travel on a cruise by themselves.  You have to have someone with you who is at least 18 or older, and also have your moms permission.

Answer 6

First, all cabins on all cruise ships are sold based on double occupancy.  That means that two persons must go or they will charge the one person what is called a "single supplement".  The supplement is basically just about a double cruise fare, same as if two people were going.  So unless you have a lot or money to spend you cannot go alone.

Second, all of the cruise lines except Carnival require that at least one (1) person in each cabin be age 21 or older.  Carnival requires that at least one person be at least age 25.  So unless you are age 21 or older you cannot even book a cruise unless you have a parent, guardian or friend who is over age 21 to go along in your cabin.

Third, if you are under age 21 and traveling with someone other than a parent you MUST have a  statement signed by your parents granting you permission to go on the cruise.  The cruise line will tell you exactly how the permission letter must be prepared.

So you have three things to consider and plan for if you want to go on a cruise.  Maybe you should try to get mom, dad, or an aunt or uncle to go with you.  Tell them how much fun they will have too.
