Drinking age - Celebrity cruise to alaska?

Question

Hey guys, thanks up front.

I'm 20 years old and was wondering about the policy on Celebrity Cruise line for drinking. I am going to Alaska with my mom and dad, and was wondering if I'll be able to drink.

Their policy seems pretty explicit that you cannot drink unless you are 21, and parents cannot buy either. The catch is, they have a pointer that says if you embark from a country in which the drinking age is less (AKA Vancouver in Canada) your parents can sign a waiver (which my parents wouldn't have a problem doing). I am just wondering is that still applicable on Alaskan cruises because most of the ports of call are in the US?

Let me know, I don't want to go up there with my dad and look stupid if I ask for a waiver and get denied.

Thanks,

Neal

Answer 1

From what I've heard, they enforce the 21 and over drinking age pretty strictly if it's from a US port of call.  Sorry.

BTW, if you've gone on a cruise as a teen or have heard stories from someone who has, could you PLEASE answers my question?  Thanks.

the only thing you can do is try.  every bartender is different.

On Celebrity you have to be 21 to drink and there is no waiver your parents can sign.

You will be given your keycard to your cabin and it will be a different color than those of 21 or older.  The keycard is what you use to pay for your drinks on board.  When you order a drink from a bar server, you give them the keycard and they ring it through the system and you sign the receipt.  It is not being carded but works the same way.  

Of course, if you look like you are 21, you can use your father's card and sign his name.  Oh, you can't do that.  Celebrity now has a digital photo of you taken at embarkation that is embedded in the card.

Well, enjoy the iced tea and soda.
