Can you drink on Carnival cruises at 18?

Carnival Cruise Alcohol Policy for Underage Guests

Carnival Cruise Line follows the strict U.S. federal regulations regarding alcohol consumption for minors. According to these regulations, all guests on Carnival cruises must be at least 21 years of age to be served alcohol. This policy applies to all areas of the cruise ship, including bars, lounges, and restaurants.

To ensure compliance with this regulation, Carnival requires all guests to present valid photo identification upon request. The identification must clearly display the guest's birthdate to verify their age. This requirement applies to all guests, regardless of their nationality or country of residence.

It is important to note that the alcohol policy also extends to tobacco products. Guests under the age of 21 are not permitted to purchase or consume any tobacco products on Carnival cruises. This includes cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes.

Carnival Cruise Line takes underage alcohol consumption very seriously. Guests who are caught violating the alcohol policy may face disciplinary action, including being removed from the cruise ship and/or being denied future boarding privileges.

Parents or guardians traveling with underage guests should be aware of these regulations and ensure that their children do not attempt to consume alcohol or tobacco products on board.
