What is the drinking and gambling age on a cruise?

Question

I heard that Ocenia and Regent Seven Seas will let passengers 18 and older drink and gamble, but then I read somewhere else that you have to be 21. Which is correct?

Answer 1

the age now is 21

Answer 2

21 or legal drinking age of the ships country in international waters

Answer 3

On the high seas, the legal drinking age on most cruise ships is 21.  For casino gambling though, most of the major cruise lines are associated with the Ocean Players Club and they allow anyone 18 years of age or old gamble at sea with the exception of Princess Cruise Lines where you have to be 21 or older.

Answer 4

21 is right

Answer 5

You have to be 21 for both.

Answer 6

Once your in international waters it's 18. When you get to a port it's 21.

Answer 7

21.  Even if you are in international waters.  If the cruise originated from the US, the age is 21.
