What is the legasl drinking age on a cruise ship?

Question

We will going round trip out of San Diego to Mexico, so what is the drinking age on a ship?

Answer 1

I believe the drinking age on the ship is still 21

Answer 2

Basically it's the same as for the country in which the ship is registered. Once you get into international water it's at the captains discretion.  

Check that with the operator. If the ship is US registered it may depend on which state the owning company is incorporated.

Answer 3

The drinking age is what ever it is when you leave the country you were last at.

Answer 4

Royal Caribbean-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.

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 (download the PDF form) 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.

Answer 5

21 at least for RC it is.

Answer 6

I do believe it is 18 for beer and wine and when the ship is beyond the United States.

Answer 7

same as on land

21 years old

Answer 8

18 YRS OLD

Answer 9

It is 21 when you are on board.  Of course, you can drink at 18 while in Mexico on shore.
