Drinking on a Carnival cruise???

Question

I will be going on a Carnival cruise in December in the Mexican Riviera. I am 18 years old. Can I drink alcohol??

Answer 1

Alli, I don't think that Carnival will allow anyone less than 21 to drink alcohol. Their website is now down for maintenance at 10PM, but you can go there later and see for yourself.

Just go to the URL shown below.

Answer 2

It depends on the registry of the ship.  If it's registered to a country that permits drinking at age 18, then you're fine.  If it's U.S. registry, then probably not.

Answer 3

I went on a cruise about a month ago. In the bars there were signs that read "In US waters 21 and over, in foreign waters 18 and over" hope it helps.

Answer 4

NO, No, not on the ship at all.  The legal drink age on Carnival and all other cruise ships is age 21 and it does not change when you are in international waters or docked in a foreign port.  Its still age 21 and older.  The only exception to this is if you cruise from a European port and your parents sign a waiver for you to have beer and wine.  Otherwise always no.

BUT, when you get to Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Acapulco, and other ports in Mexico you can drink all you want in the clubs, bars and restaurants because the drinking age in Mexico is age 18 and older.  Then you cannot bring alcohol back on board the ship either as it will be confiscated by the cruise line.

Answer 5

no. don't even try. i'm 17 and there is no way they would even serve me. they card for everyone who looks under 25. the good news is mexico's drinking age is 18 and they usually serve 16+ without carding and their drinks are really cheap.

hope this helped have fun on your cruise :)

Answer 6

All ships abide by the 21 age limit for drinking on a cruise, not to say that you cant drink but be prepared to be asked for id or denied....when you are in port you can drink as long as thats the age on the island (most seem to be 18)
