Question

How old do u have to be to go on a cruise? Im 17 and my friends range from 19-25. And its a carribean cruise?

Answer 1

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.

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 and notarized 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. Since you have friends who are age 21 and older you can go on a cruise with them on almost any cruise line like Royal Caribbean, Princess, Celebrity or Norwegian.  And if one of your friends is age 25 or older you can go on Carnival too.  BUT, you and your friends MUST share the same cabin.

Answer 2

if your parents paid for it and they were with you at all times while you're on the cruise you can be any age.

Answer 3

Unless you have a guardian on the cruise with you... 18

Answer 4

One person has to be at least 21, but some cruise ships require one person to be 25. The rest can be any age as long as they get written permission from there parent or guardian. The Caribbean is a great place to go for first time cruisers.

Answer 5

If your friends range from 19-25 then the only thing you need to go on a cruise if your under 18 is an adult over 21 because of all the riff you get from under 18 with out no adult im 18 and i went on a cruise with my cousin whos 23 they stopped me and asked who i was with and i said my cousin whos 23 and they said ok because at the time i went i was 16 so thats all as long as you have an responsible adult with you, you should be ok

Answer 6

I would think that as long as your parents paid for the cruise and possibly signed papers if the cruise agency asked them to, it should be fine.........  You can call the cruise agency and ask

Answer 7

any age

(friend count as a guardian)
