Question

If your married does age matter on a cruise ship?

Answer 1

How old do you have to be to travel alone?



Guests are required to be 21 years old (on embarkation day) to travel. Guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied in the same stateroom by a parent or guardian 25 or older. The exceptions Carnival will make to this policy are:

Married minor couple - The booking must be documented that the couple is married. The couple must have proof of marriage at embarkation or they will be denied boarding without the benefit of a refund.            

Domestic Partners/Same-s*x Union minor couple - The booking must be documented that the couple are legal Domestic Partners/Same-s*x Union.  The couple must have legal proof of partnership/union at embarkation or they will be denied boarding without the benefit of a refund.  

Guest ages will be verified at embarkation. Guests not conforming to this policy will be denied boarding and assessed a 100% cancellation penalty. NO exceptions will be made at embarkation.    

The Group policy is slightly different because of stricter group terms and conditions including mandatory chaperones, damage deposits and other considerations

Answer 2

Most cruise lines will allow "underage" passengers to travel if they are married.  You would probably need to have proof of marriage.

Answer 3

You haven't said does it matter to what? Drink? Get on board? Yes, if you are married and one is over 21, you can sail. If you are both under age, maybe it's 18, then you must have someone over that age with you. Drinking is only if you are legal age.

Answer 4

I believe if you are under 25, but married, you can go on a cruise without a parent. Most cruise ships do have a minimum age to cruise without a parent or guardian, but I have heard that being married does indeed make a difference.

Answer 5

married would make a difference.  contact the cruise line for specifics.

Answer 6

Here is Royal Caribbean's policy: "No guest under the age of twenty-one (21) will be reserved in a stateroom unless accompanied by an adult twenty-one (21) years of age, or older. This age limit will be waived for minor children sailing with their parents or guardians in adjacent staterooms or under-aged married couples (proof of marriage is required)."

Here is Carnival's policy: "Guests are required to be 21 years old (on embarkation day) to travel. Guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied in the same stateroom by a parent or guardian 25 or older. The exceptions Carnival will make to this policy are:

Married minor couple - The booking must be documented that the couple is married. The couple must have proof of marriage at embarkation or they will be denied boarding without the benefit of a refund."  

Hope these help, since they are two of the bigger cruise lines.

Just check each cruise line's website for the FAQ and there should be an age policy listed.
