AGE for drinking and going alone on ship

You sound like a typical drunk!

"how do they open a cabin door to which they are not assigned"

As I said in my other post, the desk reprogrammed the cards so they could
open the door to the cabin they were actually staying in.

RCCL will let 18-21 year olds drink beer and wine...WITH the parents written
permission.
Apparently they had some problems and now require the permission.

Okay. I'm planning to bring my 19 year old nephew on a cruise this
year. Does he bring a note from his parents, or am I able to grant
permission for him to drink beer and wine, since I'm the adult he'll
be travelling with? Of course, his mom & dad don't have a problem with
him drinking wine & beer, but I just don't know what I'll need to
bring with me, to make sure that my nephew can drink while on board.

All lines allow the room swapping once on board. I think the policy is to
prevent unaccompanied minors from traveling without persons over 25. Once
aboard we've done the room swapping on both Princess and RCCL without any
question from the purser's desk

I read a recent post about a family that wanted to switch rooms once
aboard, but they wanted their cards to match the door locks. They went to
the guest relations desk and were surprised when they cheerfully
reprogramed the cards so mom and dad could be in one room and their minor
children could be in the other cabin. I think it was RCCL.

I know you must BOOK it so there is someone over 25 in a cabin, but many
families then do a "switch" once they are in the actual cabin hallways.
The
parents are in their own cabin and the kids are often across the hall in
an
inside cabin. Some ships have adjoining cabins, as well. I know with our
large
family cruise a few years ago and again coming up next July, we were all
booked
"legally", but once we got on board, the 5 girls cousins all slept in
their own
cabin across from several of us adults who were in our own cabins so we
could
keep an eye on them. In our next cruise, only 4 can fit in the cabin and
they
will be sandwiched in between their parents' cabins and across from the
grandparents. The 5th girl (our daughter) will be with us, however, they
can
take turns and she can join them a few times, I hope. Their ages will be
13,
14, 14, 14½ and 15. Probably an easier age to control than the 17-21 age
group.
They're still at the
giggly-ooooh-I-saw-a-cute-boy-let-me-have-the-mirror-does-this-skirt-look-
okay-on-me? stage. grin

I believe that all the lines require someone over 25 in each cabin, (or
maybe an adjacent cabin), for booking purposes if any occupant is under 21,
but will allow a change once checked in. We've regularly done this with our
under 21 year olds (i.e. move them to their own cabin after check in and
move my wife and I to our own cabin :-) ).

I think that 21 year old's might be able to travel without the 25 year old.
I got this impression as on our last booking our 22 year old & freind were
able to book on a different floor without us needing to be adjacent.

I also think the under 21 ccompanied by an over 25 year old rule is waived
if they are married.

I confirm the comment that parental permission was required for 18-20 year
olds to drink on RCCL.

On NCL I know, there just needs to be someone 21 or over booked in the same
cabin with someone under 21. No mention of the age 25. I think maybe on CCL or
other cruiselines they may require that someone 25 or older is booked with a
minor. Not sure.
