Is there anyway to get around this?

Question

Minimum unaccompanied minor age is 21 or older; guests under the age of 21 years must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or guardian 25 years or older in either the same stateroom or in an adjoining stateroom with a connecting door. This age limit will be waived only for underage married couples (proof of marriage is required). *CCL requires that bookings for underage married couples be noted. Pregnancy restrictions: no more than 26 weeks at any time during the cruise. Infant age range is 4-23 months. Child age range is 2-12 years. Adult age range is 13-54 years. Senior age range is 55+ years.

I will be 15

My two sisters will be 22 and 18. Does this mean we can go on a cruise? At first I thought it was no, but than it said adult range is 13-54 years old. What does that mean?

I read something somewhere about our parents signing something saying the 22-year-old was the parent or something? Can anyone explain to me in detail?

Answer 1

the only work around solution i see , is to invite someone else, to be the fourth person in the cabin, a parent, maybe a grandparent  along.  perhaps mom would enjoy a mom/ daugther long weekend at sea.   she could spend some spa time ,  get some sleep .  you guys would just have to be in the cabin / when she says etc.  most cabins are set up with uppers/lowers and you get a break on fare for 3rd and 4th passengers.

i believe that the adult range 13-54 means that if you are under 13 you can pay childs fare and if you are 54 or older you are entitled to a senior discount on the fare.

the cruises as has florida experienced a lot of spring breakers destruction, thus, all young people are paying for that reputation.  land hotels in florida, have a 21 year old restriction for some hotels.

Answer 2

I don't know where you got your quote about age from but it appears that its from Carnival cruise line which DOES have a requirement of at least one person in each cabin age 25 or older.  However, all of the other cruise lines have a similar age requirement BUT the minimum age for at least one person per cabin is only age 21 or older, rather than 25.  So if there is someone going who is at least age 21 on Royal Caribbean, Princess, Celebrity, Norwegian, Holland America  or Disney then the requirement is met for that provision.  

Then there is the second provision of you going with persons who are not your parents.  That is solved by your parents signing a written consent form.  As I recall you can print a copy of the form that Royal Caribbean uses from their web site.  

Here's what's on RC's web site about this:

"   Adults who are not the parent or legal guardian of a minor traveling with them must present an original notarized letter signed by the child's parent(s), authorizing the adult to take the child on the specific cruise, supervise the child and allow emergency medical treatment to be administered.

Please note: An individual's age on the date of sailing determines his or her status for the entire cruise vacation. Royal Caribbean International does not accept reservations for student groups. Please consult a travel agent for Royal Caribbean's group policies. "

SO just try one of the other cruise lines that I have listed

Answer 3

The adult range just means that you pay adult fare.

No, you can't go on cruise together unless you find someone older.

Answer 4

They are talking about PRICE range in adult age definition and NO, you can not take a cruise at those ages. You need someone over 25. The cruise lines are VERY strict about this kind of things. I don't think they will waiver with a note from your parents, but call the cruise line and see.

Answer 5

you cant get around this. trust me, i went on a cruise with my boyfriend and they almost didnt let me on the ship. it was a long and complicated story. don't let that happen to you.
