What age does Royal Caribbean consider an adult?

Setting Sail Solo? What to Know About Royal Caribbean's Age Requirements

Planning a Royal Caribbean getaway and wondering about age restrictions? Here's what you need to know about who they consider an adult:

The Magic Number: 21

Royal Caribbean aligns with the standard legal definition of adulthood in North America, meaning guests must be at least 21 years old to be considered an adult on cruises departing from North American ports.

Minors on Board

Anyone under the age of 21 is considered a minor and might need some extra planning:

• Adult Supervision: Specific rules about minors traveling with or without accompanying adults vary depending on the itinerary and chosen cabin arrangements. For example, some itineraries or cabin types might require a guest over 25 to share a room with younger guests.
• Documentation: Minors might need specific documentation, like a notarized letter of permission from a parent or guardian, particularly if traveling without both parents.

Don't Get Lost at Sea: Check Before You Book!

While the age of majority is consistent, the specifics regarding minor travel can change. Always double-check the terms and conditions during the booking process or consult with a Royal Caribbean representative to ensure a smooth and enjoyable voyage for everyone in your travel party.
