Cruiseing is confusing lol?

Question

I am a senior in high school and me and some of my friends want to go on a cruise for our senior trip. My bf knows a lady who has a agent who does all hers and she is trying to book it for us but apparently it is really exspensive right now like crazy exspensive. I trust her but I would like to know if there is a way she isn't trying that I could. Cause as of right now we don't think we can go because of the outragous cost. Does anyone know anything I can do??? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can't go by yourself.  You are not old enough.

Answer 2

Have you tried going to auction sites? They've got package deals to amazing resorts and destinations for a fraction of the cost. On the top of my head, theres http://luxurylink.com, i've used this service and i've always been satisfied!

Answer 3

Good luck. Someone better be old enough to get the rooms for you!!!

This is Royal Caribbean International's age 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). Royal Caribbean International reserves the right to ask for proof of age. Royal Caribbean International's age policy for gambling and consumption of alcoholic beverages is as follows: Please note: An individual's age on the date of sailing determines his or her status for the entire cruise vacation.

ALCOHOL POLICY

Effective as of all sailings commencing on or after July 28, 2006, the minimum drinking age for all alcoholic beverages on all Royal Caribbean International ships is 21.



          However, on cruises departing from European and South American countries, where the legal drinking age is typically lower than 21, a parent who is sailing with his or her son(s) and/or daughter(s) who is between the ages of 18 to 20, may sign a waiver allowing the 18 to 20 year old to consume alcoholic beverages.



          The 18- to 20 year-old must agree to comply with Royal Caribbean's policies, including among other things, agreeing to not provide alcoholic beverages to any other person, regardless of age. Restrictions apply, and this policy is subject to change without notice.





Guests are not allowed to bring alcoholic beverages onboard for consumption or any other use. Alcoholic beverages that are purchased in ports of call or from onboard shops will be stored by the ship and delivered to guest staterooms on the last day of the sailing. Security may inspect containers (water bottles, soda bottles, mouthwash, luggage etc.) and will dispose of containers holding alcohol. Royal Caribbean's Guest Conduct Policy may be enforced, up to and including disembarkation, if a guest violates any alcohol policy. Guests under the age of 21 will not have alcohol returned to them.



Guests who violate any alcohol policies, (over consume, provide alcohol to people under age 21, demonstrate irresponsible behavior, or attempt to conceal alcoholic items at security and or luggage check points or any other time), may be disembarked or not allowed to board, at their own expense, in accordance with our Guest Conduct Policy.



All guests must comply with TSA guidelines for transporting liquids.



Royal Caribbean reserves the right to revoke or otherwise restrict drinking privileges of any guest, regardless of age.

GAMBLING POLICY

Guests eighteen (18) years of age and older are welcome to play in our casinos (for all Alaska sailings, guests must be 21 years of age in order to play in our casinos).

Answer 4

with a travel agent there are expenses involved to pay the agent. They make there living doing this for us but you can easily do it yourself. The differance, in my opinion is do I trust myself more than the agent to book my cruise? Air fare is definitely a consideration. It's way cheaper to book your own flights. Check it out both ways and see for yourself which would be the cheapest way. Keep in mind that this is considered to be a luxury vacation, but isn't really any more than any vacation involving a weeks hotel cost, plus flight, and meals and everything else you have to pay for...

Good luck and I hope you have fun...

Answer 5

I agree with the first person. For every room you book, they usually require someone over 25 to also be booked to the room. But, as far as getting a deal, try calling the cruise line directly. That's what we've always done. They usually try to beat the travel websites on cost. If you're having a big group, they offer group discounts. If not, they'll still try to get you the best deal possible.
